Be cautious of anyone promising guaranteed jobs or asking for payment to secure an offer. Verify a vacancy and the recruiter independently before sharing sensitive information.
Check the official source
Look for the role on the employer’s official careers website. Check domain spelling and contact the employer using independently sourced details if something seems unusual.
Protect personal information
Never share passwords, OTPs, or online banking credentials. Be cautious about requests for identity documents before you have verified the organisation and the purpose.
Pause when pressured
Unusually urgent demands, instant offers without assessment, and upfront recruitment fees are warning signs. Stop the conversation and seek independent verification.
