Conmen reaping big from desperate job seekers

Kenyan jobseekers have become vulnerable to conmen posing as potential recruiters. Recently, over 400 job seekers from Tigania were left stranded in Taita-Taveta County after spending Sh1300 each to get registered for an alleged Standard Gauge Railway job.

In a similar scenario, a jobseeker, Ken (not his real name), recently revealed that he had sent his CV to a reputable organisation but got a call a day later from a different firm claiming they had gone through his resume and could offer him a job.
