A genuine employer should be clear about who they are, what the job involves and how the recruitment process works. Treat unexpected offers and pressure as warning signs.

Never pay for a job

Do not pay for an interview, guaranteed role or Certificate of Sponsorship. Be cautious when someone asks for banking details or identity documents before a legitimate recruitment stage.

Check independently

Visit the employer's official website yourself. Compare the email domain, vacancy wording and contact details. If something feels wrong, stop and contact the company through a separately verified channel.
