Turo Recruiting Scam Alert

We've learned that there are scammers targeting job candidates by impersonating Turo and its employees. We ask candidates to be careful of fraudulent job postings or suspicious recruiting activity during their job search, especially if they're contacted through unofficial channels (such as Instagram, Telegram, MS Teams, etc.).

In general, Turo interacts with candidates through our Careers page and via turo.com email addresses, and we don't ask candidates for sensitive financial or personal info or request money as part of the hiring process (so an application fee or equipment costs). If candidates are not sure whether they're dealing with an impersonator, they can contact Turo's Recruiting Team at.

Candidates can also report suspicious activity to the FTC or other appropriate authorities.

Turo AI Policy

Turo may use AI-enabled tools to support our recruiting operations, including gathering information from candidates, drafting communications, helping with interview note-taking and assessment, and so on. These tools only supplement our team; all decisions to advance or hire candidates are made by Turo employees.

While we welcome candidates to use AI-enabled tools to help prepare for their interviews, the use of such tools, including any AI chatbots or note-takers, is not permitted during live interviews or technical assessments. We want to see how you consider and solve problems in real-time, so interviews and assessments are all you (unless we indicate otherwise and ask you specifically to use an AI-enabled tool to answer a question).
