The National Employment Authority (NEA) has warned Kenyans to be on high alert over fraudulent job advertisements falsely claiming to represent the authority.
In a notice issued on Monday, August 11, NEA clarified that it is not conducting any recruitment and urged the public to ignore such adverts.
The authority stressed that all genuine job opportunities at NEA are posted exclusively on its official website and the NEA Integrated Management System (NEAIMS).
One flagged scam involved a fake advert claiming NEA was seeking to hire a Sales Representative.
“The National Employment Authority cautions the public against fraudsters posing as recruiters. Currently, there are no job openings within the authority. All legitimate job vacancy advertisements are posted exclusively on the official NEA website and the NEA Integrated Management System (NEAIMS),” the notice read.
NEA urged job seekers to verify any job announcement before applying to avoid falling prey to scams.
The warning comes just a week after the government raised concerns over fake platforms targeting young people applying for opportunities under the National Youth Opportunities Towards Advancement (NYOTA) programme.
In a statement on Monday, August 4, NYOTA clarified that only its official media platforms are authorised to share programme updates. The administrators also reminded applicants that the programme is free and no payments are required.
“Next steps on all applications will be communicated to all applicants via their numbers used during the application process, as well as official announcements shared on the project website and the relevant social media channels,” NYOTA stated.
