Recruitment Safety Tips
-
No Payment: No legitimate employer in Nigeria (especially the FCSC or NGOs) will ask you to pay for a job application or “processing fee.”
-
Verify Links: Always ensure you are on the official company domain (e.g.,
.gov.ngfor government or the official.comfor corporations). -
Check the Date: Since today is April 1st, double-check any “too good to be true” offers (like massive starting bonuses for entry-level roles) on the company’s official LinkedIn page to ensure it isn’t a prank.
