Employer Requesting Money From Applicants For Apt. Test. by Henrybright(m): 8:08am On Oct 06, 2018
I applied for a graduate trainee job at Leadhire, got an interview test invite from them with link to my test page only to discover I have to pay a sum of money to gain access to the test site.
The test is to be written at home.

Below is the message from the site:

I got it too. I was shocked. How will they tell us to pay for a test? It's either that test company is a scam or leadhire wants to make money from us. As for me am not paying nada. They can hold their test

I got the mail too. They wrote between the 11th and 12th of October and gave a specific time. Maybe when the date comes it won't have any fee. But if I does have then I don't think its reliable

I just don't know the motive behind asking for money to do the test.

Everyone is taking advantage of unemployment in the country. Yesterday one Lady(Hr personnel) was telling me to pay her for consultation so she can teach me on how to get a job I just laughed.

The money is small but I advice everyone who received the mail not to pay.

Sorry to say anyone that makes that payment is a fool. Why will they tell you to pay for a test. I'm sure they already have their candidates sef they just want to fulfill all righteousness by inviting us for the test. Rubbish
@Adortem please come and respond to this because I've been seeing your post about leadhire training if you are working for them

I got the mail, I called leadhire and was told that I have to pay for the test. This is my first time to come across something like this, ideally there are supposed to pay the test administrator for their services and not the other way round. This is disheartening, I believe that they are over 20000 applicants multiply that by N1045 and discover that maybe they are using the applicant for making more money(MMM)

I was about to create a thread on this exact same topic before I stumbled on this thread.
It's so shocking that they are tell us to pay an exam fee on the first stay at home exam. It is unheard of and extremely unethical.

I just got this message now

Dear XYZ

We have received several inquiries and complaints about the Online Test for the Graduate Internship Program.

The test is administered by a 3rd party company and unfortunately they require an administrative fee of $2.75 to access their platform. This payment goes to the Testing Company and we have no control over that.

To take the test you are required to make this payment online with your card or purchase a code from them. If you would prefer to purchase a code, you can reach out to us and we would guide you through the process.

However, please note that this program and test is voluntary and you may discontinue without making payment.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best Regards,
LeadHire Recruitment Team

Leadhire are thieves, so candidates will pay the assessment center to write the CBT. This is an organized fraud more subtle than MMM. They are taking advantage of the unemployment situation Ioravaging the country to exploit the jobseekers.

What he is saying doesn't make sense and him trying to justify their actions is just plain dumb.

When they put out the advert why dint they state that candidates are to pay for the recruitment. This is just fraud on all levels and if we accept it all consulting firms will pick up this attitude.

And if you check there is actually no vacancy they just want to fund their company.
