Introduction
Bogus offers of employment are common in any season, but increase considerably in times of economic crisis, after all, the number of layoffs it makes a lot of people search for vacancies desperately. Many “rogues” take advantage in this situation to apply scams with promises misleading replacement professional.
In the end, the person ends up not being able to work and, often, it is the victim of a fraud that makes them lose time and money. How to avoid scams vacancies fake? How to find out if a job offer is true?
Know that it is not difficult. With a little care, is it possible to escape these snares. I, Emerson Alecrim,give the following tips.
1. Be wary of vacancies urgent disclosed in WhatsApp, Facebook and other social networks
Take care with employment offers disseminated via WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and other social networks, especially if they they have a tone of urgency, offer a large number ofvacancies or stand out benefits very advantageous.
Often, these positions are false and try to make the person click on a link that leads to the virus and other malware or try to gather information classified by means of forms in doubtful sites, for example.
Be wary of the offer even if a person of your trust you are spreading. Often, she shares a place in the intended to help friends or relatives who are looking for opportunities, but didn’t realize that the jobdoes not exist. When in doubt, contact the company cited in the disclosure.
2. Do not believe in the promise of a guaranteed place
There are many agencies or consultancies that advertise jobs in newspapers, social networks and sorted online with a guaranteed place. Do not believe. Generally, this type of agency will require that the person pay for a course or training that will enable to the supposed position and then add leaves or contact.
Remember that a serious company will, first of all, interview or test the candidates not to do hiring the bad. There is no guarantee of space.
3. If you have to pay to stay with the job, skip out
You do interviews, delivery documents or even goes through a training. After all of this — or before —, you are informed that you need to pay to take an exam, to go through a psychological test, or simply to have the right to vacancy. Caution! Very probably, it is a scam.
It made no sense. Recruitment services are paid by the companies to target professionals. The worker should not be prevented from taking the job due to lack of payment no fee.
4. Only use sites jobs recognized
There are many job-posting sites with bogus offers out there. If you want to use any of these services, make a search before you register. Sites like Manager, CIEE (for internships), GetNinjas (for freelancers) and trampos.co (for professionals communication and IT) tend to have good acceptance. Note, however, that some are paid.
The social network LinkedIn it is also a good channel to find vacancies.
In the case of public tenders, always enter the website public institution desired to know which entity will take care of the process.
5. Suspected of salary is too high or the benefits too advantageous
If the salary is much higher than the average of the market, the benefits are very beneficial or there is a prominent notice saying that it is not necessary experience, be wary. Probably is a scheme thatwill require you to pay any fee or take a course.
The companies only pay salaries to highly qualified professionals (with proof via rigorous testing) or that have risen from the position gradually.
6. If you compliment too much to the company, may be trying to fool you
When a company calls a candidate for interview, even for phone or video conferencing (Skype, for example), it is concerned in getting to know the person to know if she has the requirements and skills needed.
So, be wary if the interviewer spend a lot of time talking about the the company, of which she will win or even of the position you you’ll be playing. In these circumstances, are great the chances of being trying to impress for, so, you with agree with what they are offering. Sometimes it is not a job, but a scheme the pyramid, for example.
7. You are perfect for the vacancy, but the curriculum needs adjustment? Caution!
By phone, e-mail or even face-to-face, a recruiter says that you have the perfect profile for a particular vacancy and until praise his qualifications. But then he says that the your resume or registration needs to be redone.
A lot of attention! Do not be fooled by the fear of lose the supposed vacancy. It is quite likely that you you have to pay for it or to do a course that will leave the full curriculum.
It is not so. The company that you hire will take care of your training without charging anything for it, if you really need to some skill complementary.
8. You will lose the job if you do not attend the urgent to the company or the agency? Is pierced!
An alleged agency connects or sends a message to you by WhatsApp (or other service) saying that a job with your the profile is available. However, you should attend to the place of interview or hiring within two or three hours, otherwise, the role will be to another person.
Typically, this is a tactic to wake up a sense of urgency in the candidate, who will run out of home so as not to be without employment, and, on account of the rush, will not research the company or even identify the the signs that indicate that an offer might be scam.
9. Search for the agency or company that offers the job
Even if a company or employment agency do not lift suspicious, worth a search about it in Google groups Facebook, on LinkedIn and even on services such as the Claim Here.
By doing this, you will be able to quickly find the reports of people who have received offers of work, dubious of the company or agency.
You can also browse the phone from the department of the human resources (HR) of the company mentioned in a job for know if the agency or a recruitment service that offers was even hired to do a selective process.
10. Do not sign anything before you read and keep copy of everything
It seems that everything is ok with the job? Go with calm on time of signing documents. Do not sign anything before reading it. Read carefully the terms of the employment contract, that should be clear. In doubt, ask or ask for a route to be analyzed by a lawyer of your confidence. Also check if promises made verbally contained in the document.
This care can not only get rid of fake vacancies employment as also of the engagements that not correspond to the functions that were announced.
Keep copies and receipts of everything for the case to be need to make complaint to the authorities or recourse to judicial means. Requires a copy of the contract, because, even that signed, the document can be contested judicially by abusive clauses.
The number of victims of false job vacancies has grown precipitously in Brazil, affecting mainly people in desperate situation — many of them also weakened financially by this, all the care is little.
