In the peak season of "Golden Three and Silver Four" job hunting, some job seekers accidentally fall into the "pit" of false recruitment.
Some found out that the position, job content, and remuneration were "not the right product" compared with the recruitment information after entering the job, and were transferred after being notified by the company that "other positions are full"; some encountered false recruitment fraud, agency fees, and training There are many items such as fees, management fees, medical examination fees, clothing fees, etc.
Nowadays, the Internet is becoming the main channel for job hunting for more and more people. When applicants are deceived, the responsibility of online recruitment platforms has attracted attention.
"High salary, high benefits, high starting point", "decent work, travel reimbursement"... In the "golden three silver four" job hunting season, recruitment information can be seen everywhere.
What is true and false behind this makes some job seekers confused.
If you are not careful, job seekers may fall into the trap of fraud and pyramid schemes due to false recruitment.
Recently, the topic of "how to defend rights when encountering fake recruitment" on Weibo has aroused heated discussion.
Some netizens "tucao" said that when they were applying for a job, the company's job list involved recruitment information for multiple positions, but it was discovered after joining that all of them were transferred to sales positions.
In this regard, the company explained that "other positions are already full" and "new hires need to be trained at the grassroots level."
How to defend your rights in the face of false recruitment and fancy betrayal?
Job seekers enter the "pit" through the online recruitment platform, can the platform "just take care of themselves"?
First introduce the door and then cheat into the "pit"
Some people in the industry said that some companies actually only need sales and other business personnel, but in order to attract job seekers to apply, they set up positions and use the method of "introducing the door first and then cheating into the pit", and publishing like "operation post" "Or "Sales Director" and other job titles that look "beautiful".
But when the job seeker signed the labor contract with the employer, he discovered that the "director" became "little brother" after being transferred.
In 2019, the recruitment website Yingcaiwanglian launched the "Recruitment Season Job Search Safety Survey".
The survey results show that among various job hunting traps, “false job information” is the one with a higher probability of being encountered by job seekers, accounting for 65%.
The manifestations are: the job description of the job information does not match the actual job content, or the job level is quite different.
In addition to "post inconsistency", failure to fulfill job promises has also become a "big problem" for many job seekers.
The China Youth Daily Social Survey Center's joint questionnaire survey showed that 55.1% of the respondents believed that the failure to fulfill the promise of "five social insurance and one housing fund" in job scams was more common.
Liu Junhai, a professor at the School of Law of Renmin University of China, pointed out that Article 8 of the Labor Contract Law stipulates that when hiring workers, employers should truthfully inform workers of their work content, working conditions, working location, occupational hazards, safety production status, labor remuneration, and Other information required by workers.
“Employers shall bear corresponding legal responsibilities for their own recruitment information, and protect job applicants’ right to know and choose. Job applicants can also check online the business registration, business license and other relevant requirements of the job applicant before the interview. If you find that you have entered "Pit", you can request the termination of the labor contract and the company to compensate for the corresponding losses." Liu Junhai said.
Job seekers and companies suffer both
There are also job seekers who suffer from false recruitment fraud traps and lose money.
Some job seekers said that they were told that they could enter a job by paying a 400 yuan job account fee, but the other party “disappeared” immediately after the transfer; some job seekers were notified that they had been hired for a high-paying job, but they still need to be qualified for this job. Pay a high training fee for training to "make up for shortcomings"...
In 2020, the Public Security Bureau of Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province detected a new type of online recruitment fraud.
The scam gang involved in the case issued a "manual work outsourcing" message to inform job seekers that after paying an agency fee of 600 to 800 yuan, they can make money while doing simple manual work such as beading and cross stitching at home.
The gang initially assigned job seekers to relatively simple tasks. Gradually, job seekers received more and more tasks that were difficult to complete.
When the job seeker asked to resign and refund the agency fee, the fraud gang refused with various reasons.
At the same time, fraud gangs also develop "downline", that is, develop suitable candidates from them to become "third-level agents", allowing these people to defraud new job applicants in the same way.
A total of more than 3,000 victims across the country were defrauded of nearly 5 million yuan.
In addition to agency fees, training fees, management fees, medical examination fees, clothing fees...recruiting "black intermediaries" or criminals will let job seekers fall into traps under various names.
Not only do job seekers suffer property losses, but even their lives are threatened.
For companies, many companies have had the experience of "posting" recruitment information, and their image has been damaged as a result.
Prior to this, false recruitment under the name of "Meituan Recruiting Riders" appeared in Beijing, Shanghai and other places.
Criminals pretend to be recruiters and use high salaries as bait to deceive job seekers, and require that the job seeker must purchase electric vehicles, distribution boxes and other equipment or sign an installment loan contract before entering the job.
These equipment are much higher than the market price. Some job seekers find that the vehicle is defective after buying an electric car at a designated store. When they find out that they have been cheated, the criminals have already gone to empty buildings.
Can the recruitment platform take care of itself?
Currently, the Internet is becoming the main channel for more and more people to apply for jobs.
According to the "2020 Semi-annual Report on China's Online Recruitment Industry Market Development" released by the consulting company iResearch, in the context of the epidemic, the average daily coverage of recruitment websites in 2020 for half a year reached 5.87 million.
"Cloud recruitment" is popular, and forms such as video interviews, live interviews, and AI interviews have emerged.
At the same time, whether the security firewall for online recruitment is built up has raised concerns.
In this year's "March 15" party, the online recruitment website resume leak was exposed.
For a few dollars, you can purchase relevant information such as the name, gender, age, photo, contact information, work experience, and education experience of the job applicant.
After getting the job seeker information, some criminals used false recruitment and other methods to conduct targeted fraud.
Some criminals steal personal resume information under the guise of false recruitment.
Job seekers enter the "pit" of false recruitment through the online recruitment platform, can the platform "help themselves"?
The reporter found through the China Judgment Documents website that in recent years, although there have been many criminal cases of fraud due to the publication of false recruitment information, there are very few cases of individual prosecution platforms in the civil field.
On March 1 this year, the "Regulations on the Management of Online Recruitment Services" promulgated by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security was formally implemented. This is the first departmental regulation in the field of online recruitment services in my country.
The regulations require that human resource service agencies engaged in online recruitment services should establish a complete online recruitment information management system, and review the authenticity and legality of the materials provided by employers in accordance with the law. It also requires a sound information protection system for users of online recruitment services. .
Liu Junhai believes that if job applicants suffer property losses or personal injury due to false recruitment information due to the platform's negligence in review, the platform entity must bear the responsibility according to law.
"Online recruitment platforms should stand up for job seekers, set up guards, and guard them." Liu Junhai said, "The recruitment platform is built by them, the job search and recruitment rules are written by them, and the employers are selected by them. The platform is not only With big data in their hands and making profits, platform companies must assume social responsibilities in accordance with the law."
At the same time, Liu Junhai reminded job-seekers to pay attention to keeping evidence such as transfer records, chat records, bills, etc. when applying for jobs.
Once it is discovered that there is fraud in the application process, it is necessary to safeguard the rights as soon as possible while ensuring personal safety.
