What is recruitment fraud?

Recruitment fraud is a sophisticated scam offering fictitious job opportunities. This type of fraud is normally perpetrated through online services such as bogus websites, or through unsolicited e-mails claiming to be from the company.

How can I identify recruitment fraud?

  • There is an early request for personal information such as address details, date of birth, résumé, passport details and bank details etc.
  • E-mail correspondence appears to be sent from an officer or senior executive of the Company, often the CEO, Board of Directors or Human Resources. If the email doesn’t end in “@iamgold.com”, it’s most likely phony.
  • Frequently, mobile or platform telephone numbers beginning in +44(0)70 are used.
  • There is an insistence of urgency.

What shouldn’t I do if I receive a fraudulent job offer?

  • Do not respond to unsolicited offers of employment from people you are not familiar with, or were introduced to during the interview process.
  • Do not disclose your personal or financial details to anyone you do not know.
  • Do not send any money. IAMGOLD never asks for money transfers or payments from applicants to secure a job or visa to enter Canada or other countries IAMGOLD operates in.
