I applied to a job a couple weeks ago and had not heard anything from the company until two days ago when I received an onboarding email with a link and a PIN asking me to click the link and enter my first and last name and the PIN.

As far as I can tell, it is a real company. When I google the company, it comes up with a stock price, and the first link is the same website that the email address behind the onboarding email was from. On Glassdoor, it says it's a company of 1000-5000 with 30 reviews, 88 jobs, and a few other items listed.

I tried the link on safeweb.norton.com and on scanurl.net and both showed that it was safe, but I don't know how reliable these sites are.

What should my next steps be in this situation? As far as I can tell, the email is legitimate, but I have never heard of a company initiating contact with an onboarding email. I have thought about contacting the company through their website or just going through with the email. I don't believe there is anything malicious that they could do with just my name and a PIN that they provided.
