Job Seeker Faqs

​Avoiding Scams: Essential Information

Do I have to pay a fee to get a job?

No, Manpower does not charge candidates any fees. If you have been asked to do so, please verify the details with us through our contact form. If you suspect you have been part of a job scam (link to job scam article) we strongly recommend reporting it to your local authorities.

In addition, we strongly encourage you to read Job scams: What you need to know and how to spot one so that you can protect yourself during your job search.

I received a job offer from another agency/employer via message/email, could you assist in verifying the authenticity of their offer letter?

Manpower is aware of job scams on Telegram, WhatsApp, and Facebook Messenger where individuals or organizations impersonate as recruiting consultants. ​

However, we are unable to verify the authenticity of the job offer from other agencies and employers. If in doubt, please verify the authenticity of the offer with the recruitment agency or employer. ​

For more information, please see our tips on how to stay cautious while navigating through your job search.
