Tips to Identify Fake Recruitment Agencies
It is important that persons seeking employment opportunities with the help of recruitment agencies know red flags to look out for so as to mitigate against falling prey to the schemes of the fake recruitment agencies that exist in Nigeria. Fake recruitment agencies advertise misleading jobs that do not exist, impersonate genuine organizations to defraud unsuspecting victims and some advertise for jobs with the intent of getting downlines of jobseekers for several multi-level marketing platforms.
First, it is common with fake recruitment agencies to lack digital footprints online such as websites or blogs. A geniune establishment would have online presence, therefore, job seekers should be wary of recruitment agencies without credible online presence.
Furthermore, the message format used by these fake recruitment agencies are usually riddled with with poor grammar and construction. It is common that fake recruitment agencies use messaging templates that do not outline specific job position title. A genuine offer of interview must include the exact job position title applied for, and should be void of disjointed grammar and blunder.
Fake recruitment agencies are known to defraud desperate jobseekers of money with the false promise of facilitating a job placement. Genuine agencies would not demand any financial commitment from jobseekers for a job. Therefore, job seekers should not pay any recruitment agency money to secure a job placement.
Another red flag is that many of these fake recruitment agencies make use of free email accounts in disseminating information. Genuine corporate entities usually make use of corporate email accounts.
Therefore, to avoid disappointments and pain that these fake recruitment agencies cause, jobseekers should adequately research about the authencity of a recruitment agency, and avoid desperations as it can mask rational thinking.
