•   Charge you money. No placement fees, visafees, training fees, equipment costs, or deposits. Our clients pay us, never you.

•   Ask for bank details before a genuine, documented offer, and then only to arrange payroll.

•   Offer you a job without an interview with Akkar or our client.

•   Email you from anything other than an@akkar.com address. We do not recruit via Gmail, Outlook.com, or similar.
