Warning to candidates about false job offers and fraudulent proposals
VINCI Construction warns applicants against the distribution on the Internet of false job offers for contracts abroad in the name of VINCI Construction companies. The authors of these offers fraudulently use the corporate names, brands and logos of VINCI Construction companies to deceive applicants, to get them to reveal personal information and to pay money to obtain alleged services. Under no circumstances do VINCI Construction companies, in their recruitment process, ask for candidates’ bank details or any payment. It is therefore strongly recommended to check the authenticity of job offers before responding to them.
