IMPORTANT NOTICE :

We learned of a fake job offer scam where individuals are using a company's name and branding to create emails and websites designed to trick individuals into providing personal information because they think they are applying for a job directly with the company.

To combat this, companies are listing their legitimate hiring sites and communication methods. Our valid email addresses end in @dswinc.

com, @designerbrands.com and @camutogroup.com. Two examples of non-legitimate email addresses are ones that end in @designerbrands.

info or @designerbrands.work (do not respond to interview requests or other messages from these). If you are not certain about a communication or an information request, a good practice is to independently look-up a contact for the company (do not use the contact method listed in the request) to verify that you are contacting the right person and not being deceived.

If you want to verify a Designer Brands' related hiring request, please send a message to TalentAcquisition@hr.designerbrands.
