Every now and then you hear of a scam in recruitment. The innocent and gullible job aspirants are taken for a ride and lose several thousands of rupees. The fundamental problem is that the aspirants are not even aware of the fact that no company worth its salt ever gives job offers by asking for money or taking fees from candidates In fact, none of the well known and reputed companies even charge any amount during the entire recruitment process. (No Hiring fees, No Deposits, No Service Charges, No Medical Fees, No Incidentals whatever)
People need to know this and be aware lest they fall prey to more and more such scams. One way to do this is to share widely on social media. Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Email whatever such medium so that the news reaches as many people as possible.
What to Look For?
1. If you get a unsolicited call from someone saying that they got your resume from someone or a job site and calling you to some town / city for interview, Beware !!!
2. Any time someone asks you to come for an interview and tells you that you need to pay just INR 1000 or so medical check fees, please beware they will slowly ask for more and more to make you pay.
3. If at any stage in the process you are told that the HR managers or some other managers can do the needful to get you a job offer and all it needs is some kickback (bribes) beware. You are on the verge of being taken for a ride.
4. Some may even send you an offer letter (which looks like some original company document) and later ask you to deposit a sum to get it processed. Beware, nobody ever offers you a job by just applying and without any interview and selection process.
