Have you recently received a WhatsApp message from a recruiter who seems suspicious? We want to ask you to beware of a current scam that targets job seekers. Fraudsters may reach out to you with job offers in order to get your personal information or request payment.

If someone contacts you on WhatsApp claiming to be from Hanson Search or using the name of one of our consultants, please block the number or report the scam by forwarding it to 7726 – a free reporting service provided by phone operators.

Please remember – our team would not reach out to you using WhatsApp. They would only conduct themselves in a professional manner and will never make any suspicious requests. If you would like to report something to us, please reach out to enquiries@hansonsearch.com

Here are a few tips on how to identify a fraudulent message:

  • It’s a message that you weren’t expecting
  • It comes from a number or email address you don’t recognise
  • It contains a link – please avoid clicking it
  • It offers unrealistic salaries or working arrangements
  • They are asking for money or personal details, such as your CV
  • The advert is poorly written and contains spelling errors

We apologise for the inconvenience and are investigating the best ways to deal with this issue that seems to be affecting the whole recruitment industry.

Please contact our team at enquiries@hansonsearch.com for any further assistance.
