Please be aware that this is false information.

A text message is being sent to individuals for the position of Sales Executive with the Big Life Kenya in Donhlom and Kayole for form four leavers. It goes on to a number and an email address through which one can send their CVs.

It reads,

We are seeking for youthful team age between 18-35 years to work with us on a full time/Part time basis.

The applicants must have completed form 4 education with good mastery of Kiswahili and English.

Please note that Corporate Staffing Services has not advertised for a Sales Executive position. Also, we do not send out text messages informing individuals about a job opening.

Corporate Staffing Services advises you, as a job seeker, to be vigilant and to do a proper background check before applying for any position.

All jobs advertised by Corporate Staffing Services will be done on our website, and not via text message.

Ways to tell a correspondence is a scam

The Email Address Used 

 Any genuine recruitment firm will have a registered domain name and website and any correspondence via email will always bear the registered domain name. For example Corporate Staffing Services, official emails will always originate from a “@corporatestaffing.co.ke” email address NEVER from a “@gmail.com” address.

If indeed Corporate staffing was recruiting on behalf of the World Food Program, the official email used would bear the Corporate Staffing Domain name as explained above.

A simple Google or LinkedIn search

Whenever you are in doubt as to who you are dealing with, conducting a simple search on the person’s name and the position they claim to hold will reveal the inconsistency.

For example, if your search “Corporate Staffing Services Kenya” on google your most likely results will be our website corporatestaffingservices.co.ke

You can also call or email the mentioned company to check if it is they are recruiting for such a position.

Email tone, grammatical errors, and Ultimatum

Emails from scammers will often feature grammatical errors and will not contain an official tone. Also, anyone offering you a job will not give you an ultimatum. They will provide you with directions and instructions and wait for you to show up. If you do not, then they reach out or hire the next person in line.

It will often sound too good to be true

Most scammers will often use a very attractive pay package that will sometimes be too good to be true to dupe you.

Be Vigilant

As the number of people looking for jobs increase, more job scams are coming up as cons look for ways to make money. Avoid falling prey to such scams by confirming the emails you receive, phone calls and promises for jobs. You can confirm by calling the hiring company or organizations involved. They will let you know if the position exists or not.
