For many people living in the UAE, finding a job abroad feels like a dream: a better income, a stable future, and the chance to support family back home. However, with this dream comes a significant fear- being scammed.
Fake recruiters in Dubai have taken advantage of that dream, promising jobs in Europe or Canada, collecting money up front, and then disappearing.
At Quickplus Recruitment Services, we have seen every trick in the book and built our entire process to protect candidates from them.
Here are the top 5 recruitment scams in Dubai and how we avoid every single one.
1. The “Visa Promise” Scam
The Scam: Some agencies promise a “European visa” for a fixed price. They show fake embassy stamps or say they have “connections” to speed things up.
The truth is simple: only embassies issue visas, and no recruiter can guarantee one.
How Quickplus Recruitment Services Avoids It: We never promise visas.
We only work with employer-backed work permits that are issued when an actual company in Europe needs workers.
Once the work permit is approved, the embassy interview follows naturally.
2. The “500 Vacancies” Trap
The Scam: You may see ads that say “Urgent Hiring – 500 Vacancies in Poland or Romania.” These are usually fake.
Scammers collect money from hundreds of applicants and then vanish or keep delaying without any employer in sight.
How Quickplus Recruitment Services Avoids It:
We deal only with real employer demand, usually for 5 to 20 positions at a time.
Each job comes with a genuine demand letter from a European employer. No inflated numbers, no fake bulk hiring.
3. The “Under the Table” or “Wasta” Deals
The Scam: Some middlemen claim they can “get things done faster” if you pay extra or use personal connections. These informal deals are risky and leave you without legal protection.
How Quickplus Recruitment Services Avoids It:
Every step with us is official and documented.
You sign a legally binding Dubai contract under our license. Payments are made through proper channels, and nothing happens under the table.
4. The “No-Refund” Trick
The Scam: Many fake agencies have a hidden rule: if the job doesn’t work out, you lose your money. They will blame the embassy, paperwork, or even you, but never take responsibility.
How Quickplus Recruitment Services Avoids It:
We stand by our 100% refund guarantee.
If an employer cancels their demand or the embassy provides proof that the work permit is not genuine, you get your full payment back within 15 working days after cancellation. No deductions. No excuses.
5. The “Name Misuse” Scam
The Scam: Some fraudsters pretend to be well-known agencies. They copy logos, create fake WhatsApp profiles, and send forged offer letters.
How Quickplus Recruitment Services Avoids It:
We built a Candidate Verification Portal on our website.
Just enter your name and contract number to confirm if your contract is genuine and check how many working days remain under your timeline.
This helps everyone confirm they are dealing directly with Quickplus Recruitment Services, not impostors.
