Beware of Recruitment Scams and Stay Safe with Brightwork Jobs

Brightwork is committed to enabling good work, and that includes protecting you from fraudulent practices – together we can create a safer recruitment environment.

Recently, we’ve been made aware of fraudulent activity involving rogue websites, such as Bebee, misrepresenting job advertisements for Brightwork. These scams can mislead job seekers with false or misleading information about roles.

We want to ensure that you have the right information to protect yourself and find genuine job opportunities and here’s how:

What's Happening?

Rogue websites are taking job ads from aggregator platforms partnered with trusted job boards and altering them. This includes:

• False company names:Using established brand names without authorisation.
• Inaccurate salaries:Quoting amounts, often below the National Minimum Wage.
• Modified job descriptions:Misrepresenting roles, responsibilities, or benefits.
• Fake job titles:Changing positions to attract more applicants.

These activities can lead to confusion, wasted time, and potential risks for job seekers.

How to Spot a Scam

To ensure you're applying for legitimate roles:

1. Check the platform:Genuine Brightwork job ads are available on trusted job boards like Total Jobs, CV Library or Indeed or directly through our official website.
2. Verify the details:Look out for inconsistencies in job descriptions, salaries, or company names.
3. Avoid unusual requests:Be cautious of ads asking for sensitive personal information upfront or payment for training or equipment.
4. Contact us:If you’re unsure about a job listing, reach out to our team.
