We have adopted a hybrid working approach, acknowledging the importance of in-person collaboration while recognizing individual preferences and operational requirements. Recruitment fraud is a scheme in which fictitious job opportunities are offered, typically through online services or unsolicited emails claiming to be from the company.

DXC does not make offers of employment via social media networks and never asks for any money or payments from applicants during the recruitment process.
