At Red Ventures, we believe in real human connection. That’s why we do not hire someone through text, social media, or email only. As part of the hiring process, you should expect live conversations with RV teammates before any offer is made. Also, keep an eye on the sender: we only use official .com email addresses at the portfolio level or business specific email addresses (e.g., .com), not ones like “redventurescareer.com.” We will never ask candidates to send money, buy equipment, or share financial account info during your journey with us. You can always find our open roles on redventures.com— if you receive a message that seems suspicious, please use redventures.com to verify the opportunity.
