    How to check an employment agency abroad?

    24.12.2024
       1. Check the agency's license

       Agencies must have a license to operate in the field of employment abroad. In Belarus, for example, such licenses are issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Belarus, and in Russia — by Roszdravnadzor. You can check the availability of a license on the relevant government websites.

       2. Study reviews and reputation

       Look for reviews of the agency on specialized forums, social networks, and review sites. Pay attention to whether there are any complaints or mentions of fraud. However, be careful: some reviews may be fake. They are usually uniform, short, and left by users without avatars or a history of reviews.

       3. Visit the agency's office

       Legitimate agencies have a physical office and are ready to invite you for a consultation. Refusal to meet or provide legal addresses is a warning sign.

       4. Check the contract

       The agency must enter into an official contract with you for the provision of services. The contract must include:

       - Full details of the agency.

       - Detailed description of services and costs.

       - Terms of refund.

       - Liability of the parties.

       If the agency offers to sign a contract on unclear terms or in a foreign language without translation, it is a reason to be wary.

       5. Be careful with prepayment

       Most reliable agencies do not require an advance payment before signing an employment contract. If you are asked to make large payments without any guarantees, this is a sign of fraud.

       6. Check the agency's partners

       Find out which employers or organizations the agency works with. Contact the potential employer directly and make sure that they actually work with this agency.

       7. Verify the stated conditions

       Request details about the workplace, working conditions, salary, and accommodation. Compare the information with offers on official employer websites or international job search platforms.

       By following these steps, you will minimize the risk of encountering a fraudulent agency and protect yourself from deception.
