She said she was the VP of Human Resources and stated the ATS too. I have to concur that it's probably a scam of some sort. Phishing maybe. I've had so many issues applying for jobs using Indeed. It's unfortunate. I agree about the Gmail address especially if she's stating her position is the VP of Human Resources. "Ashley Mitchell VP Human Resources Southwest Airlines. Freshteam , Applicant Tracking System powered by Freshworks Inc." Also, what VP of Human Resources ever contacts candidates? I'm hoping a legitimate Southwest recruiter sees this and becomes aware someone may be using their name in a scam Thank you everyone for your help and replies.

Hello, I received an email from an Ashley Mitchell this morning, though I have not applied for a job with Southwest Airlines from looking at my applied jobs on Indeed. The message requests that I only contact the recruiter via text message which doesn't sit well with me. This email address is ashleymitchelr2@gmail.com and the message is as follows: Congratulations!
