San Miguel Corporation (SMC), one of the Philippines’ largest conglomerates, has issued a public advisory warning job seekers about fraudulent hiring practices.
The company stated that neither SMC nor its subsidiaries require any form of payment from job applicants during the hiring process.
The advisory aims to alert the public about individuals posing as SMC employees or representatives who are running scams that promise guaranteed employment in exchange for money. These scammers reportedly ask for various fees, including processing fees and medical fees.
SMC emphasized that such practices are not part of their legitimate recruitment process.
The company advises those interested in career opportunities within the San Miguel group to visit their official careers website at careers.sanmiguel.com.ph or follow their official Facebook page for accurate information.
The advisory from SMC highlights the ongoing issue of job scams in the Philippines, where unsuspecting job seekers can fall victim to fraudulent schemes.
SMC’s public statement serves as a reminder for job applicants to be vigilant and to verify employment opportunities through official channels.
