- •Ne versez jamais d'argent — pour un dossier, une formation, une tenue ou un entretien. Un vrai employeur ne demande jamais au candidat de payer.
- •N'envoyez jamais de photo de votre pièce d'identité, passeport ou coordonnées bancaires avant d'avoir vérifié physiquement que l'employeur existe.
- •Donnez-vous toujours rendez-vous dans un lieu public, en journée — jamais une adresse isolée, un domicile privé, ou un lieu que vous ne pouvez pas vérifier à l'avance.
- •Dites précisément à un proche où vous allez, avec qui, et à quelle heure — partagez votre position en direct si possible.
- •Recherchez le nom de l'entreprise sur internet avant de vous déplacer : une vraie structure laisse des traces (site, avis, autres employés, adresse officielle).
- •Un salaire très supérieur à la moyenne du poste et de la ville doit vous alerter — redoublez de prudence.
