Recruitment Fraud Awareness

At Misineti, the safety and trust of our candidates and partners are extremely important to us. Unfortunately, recruitment fraud is a growing issue where individuals or organizations impersonate legitimate companies to deceive job seekers.

What is Recruitment Fraud?

Recruitment fraud often involves scammers claiming to represent a reputable company, offering fake job opportunities to unsuspecting individuals. These scams can happen via fake websites, social media, email communications, or even direct phone calls. The goal is typically to collect personal information or extract money from candidates under false pretenses.

How to Recognize Recruitment Fraud

Be cautious if you encounter:

  • Job offers without a formal interview process

  • Requests for sensitive personal information early in the recruitment process (e.g., bank account numbers, social security numbers, copies of ID documents)

  • Communications from unofficial email addresses (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail) instead of a company domain email (name.familyname@misineti.com)

  • Pressure to act quickly or promises of high salaries for minimal work

  • Requests for payment for job applications, training materials, or background checks

Important:

Misineti will never ask for money at any stage of the recruitment process.
We also only communicate through official channels using our company domain email addresses.

How to Protect Yourself

  • Always verify the authenticity of a job offer by contacting us directly

  • Check that communications come from an official Misineti email address

  • Be cautious about providing personal information over email or phone

  • Do not make any payments or purchase materials on behalf of a recruiter
