Would you hire someone for it if they willingly put in their SSN to a random sketchy, unsecure looking website? I have never had another online application ask for that.
I can assure you they are far more interested in your ability to follow instructions than they are in your online hygiene.
Well, then he dodged a massive red flag.
Maybe they’re a local government, they inherited this undocumented unmaintained system and really need help? Sounds like that’s what’s happening here.
It would be different if the application was for a dodgy online make money from home setup
It seems like it’s a third party, the base url is https://www.applitrack.com/ but redirects to a different url for education applications.
This is correct. It could even be part of the application process. I would write them an email that the obvious fake one didn’t work and you’ll not put your SSN on that site for security concerns. Especially not in the application phase. If they reject you for that you have dodged a bullet.
