FAQS FOR JOB SEEKERS
It has been brought to our attention that there have been instances of fraudulent job offers, stating to be from our company. These persons have been offering fraudulent employment opportunities to applicants and often asking for sensitive personal and financial information, including requiring candidates to arrange travel for face-to-face interviews with a certain travel agency.
Be hesitant and look for the following typical signs of a recruitment fraud:
- Please be cautious and try to validate if the person communicating with you is a real company representative.
- Fraudulent job offers often ask for financial or personal information early in the process. We do not ask for any financial commitment or contribution from a candidate at any stage of the recruitment process.
- Another warning sign is if the email that you receive doesn’t contain any contact address – as in a physical mailing address, office, cell, and/or fax number.
- A fraudulent offer may ask you to book travel through a certain travel agency with the promise to reimburse travel costs.
Please also note:
- The job applications for our company are received through our careers site. This ensures that all applications are routed directly to our recruiters and/or hiring managers.
- Our Company will never ask for money as part of our recruitment process and will never make a job offer without a formal interview.
If you believe you have been a victim of a fraudulent job offer concerning our company, please contact us via email (service@emdgroup.com) using the term “fraudulent job offer” in the subject.
