DOLE to graduates: Avoid scams, know ‘right’ recruiters
With this year’s graduates about to seek jobs, the Department of Labor and Employment advised them against falling for illegal recruiters and placement agencies out to fleece them.
The DOLE urged students and jobseekers to visit or contact the DOLE’s regional and field offices and check the list of licensed private recruitment and placement agencies.
“We encourage new graduates – future workforce members – to be alert and wary against unscrupulous individuals or groups engaged in illegal and predatory employment operations. They themselves should become their own lookout during their job hunting to avoid falling victims,” Baldoz said.
She pointed out Executive Order No. 797 lets the DOLE regulate and supervise private sector participation in the recruitment and placement of workers locally.
Baldoz said the DOLE and Public Employment Service Offices will assist jobseekers in verifying the authenticity and legitimacy of local recruitment agencies so they will not be duped.
An updated directory of PESO offices across the regions can be accessed at the DOLE’s Bureau of Local Employment website at http://ble.dole.gov.ph/pesodir.asp.
On the other hand, Baldoz said graduates should know the schedule of DOLE job fairs, training, and career counseling which could help them get into “skills-fit” employment opportunities.
“At this time of the year when recruitment scams proliferate, jobseekers, particularly new graduates, should be watchful and should guard themselves against too-good-to-be-true offers that might merely lead them to the path of those who have been victimized by scammers,” she said. — LBG, GMA News
