A Warning About Recruitment Scams - Please Read

BrightLocal is one of the many businesses that scammers are impersonating in order to target people with recruitment scams. They are using social media and messaging platforms like Telegram and WhatsApp to approach targets and offer roles at BrightLocal. Targets are asked to sign up to a fake website, and potentially asked to share personal and banking details. These scammers have absolutely no relationship whatsoever to BrightLocal (i.e., they are not contractors, employees, agencies, etc.) and the roles being offered do not exist at BrightLocal.

Please exercise caution when engaging with recruiters on these platforms. At BrightLocal, we only ever recruit via our website or official recruitment websites. We do not have Telegram or WhatsApp accounts, and our only website domain is brightlocal.com.

Any websites claiming to be BrightLocal that do not use our official brightlocal.com domain or up-to-date logo are unofficial and not associated with us.

If you have any questions or would like to clarify anything with us, please email [email protected].

Brighton

Working in Brighton, UK

BrightLocal HQ is located in Brighton, UK. This is the nerve center of our operations, and where the big decisions get made.

Our Brighton office is just minutes away from the famous seafront and Palace Pier, and sits opposite Brighton Dome, the cultural home of art and performance in the area (if you’re not counting the array of street art Brighton’s known for, that is).

Whether you’re looking for peaceful walks on the beach or a buzzing nightlife, Brighton is a great place to live, and work, especially in the burgeoning tech sector. They don’t call it ‘Silicon Beach’ for nothing!

Kyiv

We Stand with Ukraine. Find out what we’re doing to support Ukraine and how you can help, too.

The city’s amazing architecture, fascinating history and vibrant atmosphere are just a few of the reasons to choose to live and work in Kyiv. Add in a large selection of fantastic restaurants and bars and you can see why we decided to set up shop here!
