Recruitment Disclaimer
Time and time again, we hear of fraudsters impersonating genuine companies, claiming to be selling recruitment forms or recruiting for such companies. This is usually in a bid to extort money from unsuspecting applicants.
A disclaimer is a statement that you are not responsible for something. Putting up a recruitment disclaimer notice on your website is imperative if you find out that your company is being impersonated by fraudsters. This action will help save your corporate image as well as deliver unsuspecting job seekers from the preying hands of scammers.
You can copy and reuse any of the sample templates below to create a recruitment disclaimer for your company website.
