From time to time we have been made aware of scam or fraudulent job offers, or emails regarding potential job opportunities being made to individuals in the name of Rosewood Hotel Group and/or properties managed by Rosewood Hotel Group. Fraudulent job offers are unfortunately a growing global trend that we take very seriously and are monitoring closely.
What is recruitment fraud?
Recruitment fraud is often perpetrated as an online scam where non-existent job opportunities are offered via scam or fraudulent websites, notices, or unsolicited emails that claim to be from Rosewood Hotel Group or other companies. Typically, personal information is requested as well as payment to process these fictitious applications that are not authorized by Rosewood Hotel Group.
How to identify recruitment fraud
The perpetrators often ask recipients to complete fraudulent recruitment documentation, such as application forms, terms and conditions of employment or visa forms. The Rosewood Hotel Group name, logo and signatories are often featured on the documentation without authority.
- There is usually a request for personal information such as address details, date of birth, CV, passport details, bank details etc.
- Candidates are requested to contact other companies/individuals such as lawyers, bank officials, travel agencies, courier companies, visa/immigration processing agencies etc.
- E-mail correspondence is often sent from (or to) free web-based e-mail accounts such as Yahoo.com, Gmail.com, etc.
- The perpetrators may even offer to pay a percentage of the fees requested and ask the candidate to pay the remaining amount.
- There is usually an insistence on urgency for the applicant to act on the correspondence received.
What should you do if you suspect there’s a recruitment fraud case
