What constitutes fraudulent recruitment?

Fraudulent recruitment occurs when there is a misrepresentation of the job or the organization during the hiring process. This involves providing potential candidates with false or misleading information that may affect their decision to apply for or accept a position. When an organization misrepresents job responsibilities, company culture, compensation, or any other critical aspect, it compromises the integrity of the recruitment process. This not only affects the trust between the employer and candidates but can also lead to a host of issues, including high turnover rates and a negative impact on the employer's reputation. Misrepresentation can manifest in various ways, such as exaggerating job benefits or downplaying challenges associated with the role, which ultimately misleads candidates about what they can expect if they join the organization.
