However, since finding a job is an extremely important milestone for any individual, a lot of troublemakers in the market try to take advantage of this. Candidates in their desperation to get a job get carried away and are ready to go to any length to obtain one. This weakness of jobseekers is what getting exploited by fake HR recruiters and bogus placement agencies. Several incidents of fraud have been reported and charged under the Indian law.

Here are few things to consider so you can avoid fake employers,

  • Don't Pay for Interview
  • Do Research
  • No Shortcuts
  • Scams
  • Fake Websites

1. Payment-based recruitment

besafe 3

Agencies seeking payment for job interview or direct job offer is often a trick. Scammers might ask you for payment for below reasons:

  • a. Scheduling interviews
  • b. Investment
  • c. Training
  • d. TDS or tax benefit
  • e. Uniform and Documentation.

Authentic companies with real jobs do not charge any amount for any

2. Research the job and the company

besafe 4

A simple search of the company’s website and the job profile can differentiate fake and real jobs. Know about the company before going for the interview, and ask for an ID proof to be sure.

3. No shortcuts in career

besafe 5

If a company offers jobs without an interview or offers high income for part-time jobs, they might be fraudulent. Work from home jobs are such examples where people think it is easy to work for few hours from home and earn some money. It is fake if the employers ask candidates to deposit certain initial amount to their account and they ask in the name of providing a job kit, etc.,.

4. Career Consulting Scams

besafe 6

These scams are really uncontrolled in the current Indian job scenario. In these frauds, career consultants contact you citing they’re impressed by your resume and want to represent you and help you get a job. In essence, it is a pitch of service that the agency wants to sell without revealing its hidden motive.

5. Recruiting Scams

besafe 7

Under recruiting scams, an agency contacts a candidate promising him or her a good job but only after he/she undertakes a specific training with them. For this training these agencies charge money and fake the candidates without offering them a job.

The Cyber Crime Department has confirmed filing of a lot of such cases of job frauds, however, a huge percentage of such scams go unreported due to guilt or embarrassment on the part of duped candidates.

We QuikrJobs strongly wishes our job-seekers to ‘Be Smart’
QuikrJobs is India’s largest online platform for blue-collared and entry level jobs and has launched a “Be Smart” campaign to make candidates aware about the various job frauds that are prevalent in the “Be Smart” campaign to make candidates aware about the various job frauds that are prevalent in the job market.
We believe it is our responsibility to create job scam awareness so that more and more candidates are spared the mental and financial pain that comes with fake recruitments and misleading job postings. Jobs as an online category is one of the most vulnerable categories owing to the attached sentiment of jobseekers and hence require careful steps both on the part of job seekers as well as employers.
