Be careful of Recruitment Scams: Fraudsters or employment scammers often pose as legitimate recruiters employers recruitment consultants or job placement firms advertising false job opportunities through email text messages and WhatsApp messages.

Do not provide or send any of these documents or data. Please note we will never ask for photographs at any stage of the recruitment process.
