Many job scams happen through fake recruitment and staffing agencies that charge candidates and vanish. This guide helps you identify fraudulent agencies and work only with verified recruiters and employers.
Fraudulent agencies advertise jobs, collect registration or placement fees from job seekers, then disappear or send candidates to non-existent positions. Some also misuse the identity documents applicants submit.
Demanding payment before placement, no verifiable office address, pressuring you to share original documents and bank details, promised salaries that are unrealistically high, and names that closely imitate well-known agencies are all warning signs.
Confirm the agency’s registration and office through official sources, search for complaints and reviews, call their listed number, and never pay a fee to get a job. Genuine agencies do not charge job seekers for placement.
