With increasing number of fake jobs and fake consultancies in Bengaluru, many aspirants are being cheated with false promises. YB Post had reported on two consultancies which were busted recently in Bengaluru. There must be few more or many more consultancies across Bengaluru which run their fraud business. We bring you some important key points which can help you decide on genuineness of the consultancy.
1. Job opening details would be specific
When consultancies approach you, they would share job specific details with reference to job opening; including name of the company, job description and they always refer to the source of your profile. If any consultancy which approaches you saying without any specific detail or with a vague information of ‘job fair’, you got to be very careful. There is something fishy if a consultancy approaches random person without even checking the profile in detail.
2. There is nothing called registration fees
Consultancies should not charge you as ‘registration fees’ as their payment or source of income is from clients who pay them for head hunting. Fake consultancies name their income in terms of registration fees and resume processing fees, which can only benefit them financially not you in any way. Thus there is not guarantee on you getting a job after shelling out your money.
3. Offers are not always genuine
Some consultancies may issue the offer letter in exchange of some serious amount of money. Printing an offer letter is a very easy task, as the format of all offer letters can reach public very easily. It’s you who should understand that offer cannot come from backdoor and getting an offer is not a cake walk, even if you want to buy it; in addition you will have your nose cut if you attempt to join with fake offer letter.
4. Beware of road side head hunters
You may come across fake consultancies which hunt aspirant even on street. This is something which YB Post witnessed near RV Dental College of JP Nagar 1st Phase a month ago.
Our team came across 2 boys who were asking every pedestrian youngster whether they need a job. You should understand the fact that such consultancies are purely idiotic, and no genuine consultancies run their business in this manner. We believe that there must be few more consultancies who do head hunting on the roads.
5. Do not buy experience
Almost a month ago CCB had busted a consultancy which was selling relieving letter and experience letters of reputed MNC’s. There should be few more in Bangalore which would sell such documents, but buying them cannot make your career. Fake documents may help you to get a job, but you will get caught in background checks and thrown out of the job; moreover you will become a blacklisted person in company’s record.
Career Guru believes that such fake consultancies must be eradicated from our society. If you get cheated, don’t just cry and keep mum, spread the message and legally report it. You would be helping many aspirants like you if you do report it.
