18 SCAM COMPANIES NIGERIAN JOB SEEKERS SHOULD BEWARE OF
HR DESK
with
Moruf Kolawole Nasir
(Experienced HR professional)
No doubt, the exploitation of jobseekers by
fake recruitment outfits is one of the burdens of unemployment in our dear country-Nigeria.
To imagine that any reasonable Nigerian or
government agency will think of exploiting fellow Nigerians who are seeking
employment, is unthinkable. This selfish and wicked attitude of some scammers/ ‘recruiters’ is what prompted one of my articles where I identified ways of identifying job scam(er)s – “How to Identify Job Scam” .
In the introductory part of the article, I mentioned that the professional body governing the practice of Human Resources Management in Nigeria is aware of the activities of this nefarious people and it’s working on arresting the situation. The Lagos branch of the noble profession (CIPM) originated the list below, and I deem it necessary to share it with our readers as a continuation of my previous articles to guide you further.
