How to avoid illegal recruiters
Work with a legal, transparent process. Here’s what to look for.
If anyone asks for money before you have a job or a signed contract, be careful — legitimate recruiters do not charge you.
Red flags (avoid)
- Anyone asking for placement fee or “processing fee” before you get a job
- Vague or unclear contract terms
- No written explanation of who does what (recruiter vs. employer vs. support org)
- Pressure to pay or sign quickly
