Cognizant — HR. Hiring process

Website:

Congnuzant company

I got msg on linked from HR harshita desai - about recruitment for medical transcriptionist, i m a medical transcriptionist but neither i mentioned it on my profile nor i follows or liked some medical transcription related stuff.
I was interested.
She asked for resume i send it to her.
After few minutes i got call from some of hime team member (siranjeevi) he in general talked to me asked about some details in that he asked for Pan no. I denied to provide pan no and i asked for process or why do you need it now i ll provide these docs after getting Appointment letter, he told that its a process point of there company. I said i ll let him know i need to think i asked that if would be yes, provide me the incoming no i ll call by myself siranjeevi said this no is available ([protected]) .
After few minutes i didn’t get time to thoughts about is cause i m working professional, i got his call again for same (pan no) i denied, siranjeevi said i m texting you for it so say no there so that i can remove your details from hiring list or provide than i ll forward it for next round.
I was thinking and i got msg from HR harshita dessai, i felt safe to provide her here on Linked in profile . I provided my pan no.

After that i got mail in that mentioned that need to upload your live picture here, but for next siranjeevi told me that he is gonna share some link and i need to give some test for typing and for medical terminology stuff. But there was nothing like.

I didn’t do anything, I got another msg on linked from another HR Raghavendra Thiyagrajan
Hi ———-
I noticed your LinkedIn profile and would like to get in touch with you. Reading your profile it looks like there could be a match between your ambitions and our opportunities.
I do not know if you are open for a career switch at this time.
But if you are open and want to know more I suggest to set up a short 15 minutes phone meeting as a start between you and me.

Kind regards,
Ragavan

I was worried about some fraudulent activities cause taking Pan no or than live picture can lead me to harm or for any fraud.
In some of the cases, people just need it to create database of resume and pan card which they can show the client to prove your workforce.

I didn’t understand this hiring process yet, I actually wants to get this job but i m feeling safe.
I would definitely prefer to visit cognizant that is available in my city if i ll get call for it.

I have experience in this.

Just let me know if it is safe, than also for that i would prefer to do it offline, on cognizant’s office
