Urgent Warning: Polish Job Seekers Targeted by Online Recruitment Scams

Beware of Online Job Scams: How to Protect Yourself from Fraudulent Recruiters In Poland, a growing number of job seekers are falling victim to online recruitment scams. A recent TikTok video by woonti highlights the deceptive tactics used by these fraudulent recruiters. Woont, a Polish HR strategist, warns viewers about red flags in job postings. "Many job advertisements direct you to contact them privately," explains woonti in her video. "This is a major warning sign." She emphasizes the importance of checking if the company is registered with KRAZ (Krajowy Rejestr Agencji Zatrudnienia), the national register of employment agencies. The absence of this registration is a clear indication of a potential scam. Woont also points out that legitimate recruiters will generally provide complete company information and contact details, such as a company email address, not a personal one. She warns against offers that only provide personal contact information, such as private messages or phone numbers. Woont's advice is simple yet crucial: Always verify the legitimacy of a recruiter and company before sharing any personal information. By following these steps, job seekers can significantly reduce their risk of becoming victims of online recruitment fraud. The fight against these scams requires vigilance and awareness from both job seekers and authorities.
