How to Spot Fake Recruiters / Agencies : Guidelines for Overseas Jobseekers

During the COVID pandemic - there has been a rise in the number of fake recruiters on social media platforms such as Facebook, Linkedin and Whatsapp. Some of these fake recruiters are looking to scam and make money of desperate jobseekers while others are only trying to increase their followers / likes on these platforms.

Some of these scamsters are even using the names of reputed recruitment companies like Ambe International, Asiapower, Gheewala, Asmacs etc. All the licensed agencies are working together to regularly report such fraud cases to the authorities but the UGC policies of the social media platforms do not allow easy way to verify these or take down such content. So unfortunately these frauds continue.

Please use the following guiding points, we encourage everyone to please note these and help spread these to everyone looking for a job overseas.

The main point here is to only apply for overseas jobs through a licensed Recruitment Company (please see below on how to Search Recruiting Agent through the Ministry of External Affairs). This will help ensure that you get treated fairly and are recruited to a Good Company overseas.

How to spot fake recruiter profiles ?

1.     Please use the following warning signals to watch out for fake recruiters,

a.      They will use gmail address and will normally not have a proper domain name in their email address

b.     The Recruitment Company they represent will not have fixed physical address or website for recruitment company

c.      Their Linkedin profile will not have any endorsements. Their Linkedin connections will mostly be Open Networkers and not necessarily related to Recruitment

d.     They will prefer using Whatsapp correspondence without any official email ID

e.      If they say they are representing a known recruitment Company like @Ambe International, @Asiapower, @Gheewala etc please check the domain of their email address and ask for official email always

f.       If the recruiters cannot share their email addresses due to high volume of resumes then please at least interact with them only through the official Facebook / Linkedin profiles of these recruitment companies

2.     If the recruiter is asking for a Comment or like on their posts and say they will review your profile - they are probably looking for a way to increase their traffic and followers. Please note that none of the recruitment software today can parse contact information of applications from comments or likes in a social media platform effectively

3.     Many posts on Linkedin say that we have several jobs in multiple countries and to please comment and we will review your profile and revert. These are almost always fake recruiters who are trying to increase their followers and profiles

How to verify Offer Letter

Best Practices for Overseas Jobseekers

1.     Apply to only Registered / Licensed recruitment companies - Use Search Recruiting Agent to search for the list of India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) licensed recruitment Companies

2.     Always ask the recruiter for an official email from their official email address. Always check the domain of the email address and ensure that its not from a phishing domain (Google will always point this out in a yellow highlight within the email) and that the domain belongs to a registered or reputable recruitment company

3.     Recruitment should be done on employment visa. Visit visas are only used for Shutdowns. Current situation (during the COVID pandemic) is exceptional as during the pandemic many countries are not issuing employment visas yet, so some recruitment may happen on visit visas

4.     Dont pay money to the recruitment Company till visa is received. And always pay the money into a bank account which belongs to the Company and not to an individual or at the office of the recruitment company. Never pay into a Google Pay or Paytm account

5.     Travelling internationally right now is very complex. During departure the recruitment company should provide detailed information regarding RTPCR, Quarantine, Vaccination, COVID-mobile-app rules. Candidates are encouraged to follow these carefully

How can you help ?

1.     Please help spread this information so that it can be of use to other jobseekers. @Neeta Evans has started a good initiative in listing profiles of recruiters who are spreading fake jobs

2.     If you come across any such fake profiles or fake jobs please tag it with the hashtag #fakejobs

3.     If you come across any of the patterns described above – please put in the comments of the posting asking the recruiter for their official email address

4.     If you are a Senior candidate applying for a Management role then some of these guidelines may not apply to you – as you would already be aware of the genuine Recruitment Companies and End-Employers in the Gulf and we encourage you to continue using only such channels

5.     Please share jobs from Companies such as @Ambe International widely on Social Media and Whatsapp with links to official Linkedin and Facebook Page only

Why Conferences are a Must for HR professionals

The world of work is changing – and changing fast. Research, technology, and economic movements are but a few of the myriad forces flexing their muscle on the world of business, reshaping and redirecting it in many ways. HR professionals, too, have seen an impact. The function and the department are now looked at as more than the mere administrative HR of the past – it is now highly people-focused more than task-focused, as the people of the company are the most valuable resource, key to achieving overall strategic goals. An HR career is no smooth sailing, as there are a number of complications to handle. The toughest part possibly is having to deal with human emotions, which can be overwhelming and is never a cinch. The HR department needs to not just hire and retain employees, but to also faultlessly ensure the employees are always productive, loyal, and motivated. Obstacles getting in the way range from discrepancies in employee work or records, to workplace diversity, and much more.

The Evolution of Workplace Culture in the COVID-19 era

The pre- and post-COVID-19 eras are drastically different. The way of life before the pandemic set in now seems so far removed. Many things that were part of everyday life, such as restaurants, shopping places, stadia, and more, are all shuttered, and thus a lot of people are bereft of employment. The crisis has massively altered how work is done, which has, among others, had a bearing on the work of HR professionals. There is no longer a question of whether work can be done remotely, because as has been seen across verticals, most are operable on a remote basis with employees not congregating at a single workplace. There has also been some discussion on whether and for how long this will continue, and if and when operations will revert to the old way.

COVID-19 Pandemic: what is working out for the top HR Leader?

When 2008 global financial crisis rocked the world, companies across the globe turned to their chiefs of Finance to steer them through. This crisis is about HR leaders. A good human resource head can save a company, and a bad one has the power to push company’s growth back by years. Managing COVID-19 response primarily fell on the talent managers and HR professionals, and most of them also rose to the occasion. The response of HRs fell under four categories: • Employee health and well-being • Remote work dynamics • Threats around work continuity • Other uncertainties (mental health, family support, etc.) What were the results of their actions? Now as the reality dawns that the emergency response undertaken during the crisis will continue for long, and may very well stay in the future, it is time for the businesses to understand if the actions taken by HR leaders worked. And more importantly, what didn’t work. Let’s begin by recapitulating the first response. talent managers, HR professionals, HR Leaders, HR and Talent Management, talent management professionals, Best HR Certification
