Fraudulent job offers using the names of executive search firms circulate in the Gulf and beyond. This is how to recognise a genuine approach from Alides.
Alides is a retained executive search firm: our fees are paid by the organisations that engage us. We therefore never ask a candidate for money — no registration, processing, visa, training, medical or "guarantee" fee, at any stage.
We never ask for bank details, card numbers or copies of identity documents during an initial approach. We do not conduct interviews solely through messaging applications, and we do not make offers of employment: offers are made by our clients directly.
How to Recognise UsOur consultants write from addresses ending in @eci-alides.com. A first approach is personal and confidential, and is followed by a conversation with a partner. If in doubt, you may verify any message by writing to contact@eci-alides.com or by calling +974 5579 0920.
If You Are TargetedDo not send money or personal documents, and do not click on links or download files from an unverified sender. Keep the messages, let us know at contact@eci-alides.com, and report the matter to the relevant authorities in your country.
Alides accepts no responsibility for communications sent by third parties who misuse its name.
