Recruitment fraud

Recruitment fraud is a sophisticated fraud involving the offer of fictitious job opportunities. This kind of fraud is normally done through unsolicited emails, online recruitment services (sometimes even legitimate platforms such as LinkedIn), bogus websites and even text messages claiming to be from Arity. The aim of the fraud is typically to obtain personal information or money. Recruitment scams may involve offering fictitious job opportunities and requesting personal information and payments to process false applications.  

Arity is aware that both individuals and organizations have falsely claimed to recruit on behalf of Arity. We take recruitment fraud very seriously and provide this information to help you learn how to identify and report recruitment fraud.

We recommend that you do not respond to unsolicited offers of employment from people claiming to work for, or be affiliated with, Arity. Arity will not request personal information before you have first applied on our career site. Only applicants that have filled out the official application on our career site can be hired. 

Identifying Recruitment Fraud

Perpetrators often ask recipients to complete fake recruitment documents, such as job applications, bank statements and/or visa/work permit forms.

It is important to look for these key warning signs:

• Requests for personal information, such as passport details, credit card information, and banking information.
• Requests to contact other companies/individuals that you’re connected to (e.g., lawyers, bank officials, travel agencies, credit card information, courier companies, visa/immigration processing agencies).
• Requests for payment of a fee to process or assist with a job application.
• An offer to pay a percentage of a fee requested if the candidate pays the remaining amount.
• An urgent request for the applicant to take action on the correspondence or offer.
