Scam Alert!!!
It is illegal in South Africa for anyone to ask an applicant for monies in order to assist them with employment – fact! When recruiters ask for any money up front, it is a scam – fact!
There is a company that is currently doing exactly this in Gauteng and is under investigation. Note: the company changes their name and location frequently. They work from internet cafés and only do interviews at satellite locations. Spin: you are asked to pay them upfront for your credit checks, ID verification, or driver’s license to be verified – not your expense!
Should you be asked for payment as a candidate applying for work, please report this to the Report Corruption number: 0861 911 477.
Important Notice!!!
It is illegal in South Africa to ask candidates for money in the recruitment process, checks or admin – the agency or company are liable, not you!!
