How to Avoid Fake Recruitment Agencies and Job Scams

Unfortunately, job scams and unregistered recruitment agents continue to exploit innocent job seekers in Kenya. At DSP Recruitment Agency, we value transparency and candidate safety. Here’s how to protect yourself:

✅ Check for Official Accreditation

Always verify that a recruitment agency is registered and licensed by the National Employment Authority (NEA). Ask to see their license or check on the NEA’s official website.

✅ Avoid Paying Upfront Fees

Genuine agencies don’t ask for large upfront payments before interviews or job confirmations. Be cautious of anyone demanding cash before you’ve signed an employment contract.

✅ Verify Job Offers

Don’t rely on verbal promises. Insist on a written job offer or contract outlining your salary, benefits, working hours, and terms.

✅ Visit Physical Offices

If possible, visit the agency’s official office. Scammers often operate only through social media or phone calls.

✅ Report Suspicious Agencies

Help protect others by reporting fraudsters to the authorities or NEA if you suspect illegal practices.

Choose wisely — your future depends on it.
