We want to alert our candidates to a current scam that preys on job seekers. Some scammers might contact you with enticing job offers to extract your personal information or ask for payment. This scam is currently widespread and affecting thousands of recruiters in the UK.
Our recruiters will never contact you initially via WhatsApp message. Initial contact will be by phone on 01243 782763, via job board if you have applied or have a public CV, or by email from an official Kiwi Recruitment address.
Please remember if you are contacted by our team, they would only conduct themselves in a professional manner and will never make any suspicious requests. We would like to thank those who have forwarded us the evidence of this scam. We would also encourage you to report any suspicious scams to the Action Fraud here.
