I was reached out to for a job but they require sending my last 4 of my digital wondering if that's normal and/or safe

Did you apply for it then someone reached out, or someone randomly contacted you?

It was random. The Job recruiter from a recruiter company reached out to me. The company seems legit insight global

The recruiter said that the client wants to make a database of all prospective clients with their last 4 digits to identify then. And that seems way to intrusive. But the job looks legit

Insight Global is a legitimate staffing company, but I would definitely want to know more about why the employer wants to have that information from every applicant and not just whoever they're actually hiring.

It's probably for Tax purposes but you should at least ask what they need it for.

Supposedly they're compiling a database of all potential clients. I dont know why though

That seems sketchy. It may be someone impersonating a recruiter for the company. Have you tried contacting the company directly?

Insight Global was one of our partners at my first job, but make sure it's actually them.
