Job Scam Alert!

It has come to our attention that numerous positions have been published on the VBKOM LinkedIn Job Page during September and October 2023 that are not legitimate.

Here are some tips to keep you, our followers and job seekers, safe:

1. Research the company
   Do some research on the company that is advertising a vacancy – search their website to see if there are any inconsistencies between what the advert is portraying and what the company is actually about.
2. Verify contact information
   Check the company’s physical address and contact details on their official website.
3. Check if the job listing is authentic
   Verify the availability of the position(s) on the company’s official website – at VBKOM, we will always publish a full job description on our website.
4. Take note of the application process
   VBKOM will always give instructions on how to apply for a position (be it through a valid third-party platform like CareerJunction, or a direct application to a dedicated VBKOM vacancy email address).
5. Be sceptical
   If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Be on the lookout for overly generous salaries and job benefits. VBKOM does not typically disclose salary information on job listings.
   Also, be wary of the type of position that is being advertised. If the position does not align with the company’s service offerings, it may not be legitimate.
6. Look for language usage
   Poor grammar, spelling mistakes, or language that comes across as too casual may be red flags. VBKOM will always publish job listings in business English.
7. Protect your personal information
   Avoid providing sensitive information like your ID number and banking details. Also, be aware of any job posting that requires you to spend money upfront.
8. Contact the company directly
   If you are uncertain about a job posting, reach out to the company using their official contact information, and ask questions about the position to gauge their response.
9. Report suspicious job listings
   If you believe you have come across a job scam, report it on the platform you found the listing on. Scammers impersonate companies and recruit for fake jobs on LinkedIn and other well-known platforms.

These are but a few tips, and we urge every job seeker to prioritise their safety and well-being.
