Safety
Most employers are genuine, but recruitment scams do happen. Here’s how to spot them, how to protect yourself and what to do if something feels wrong.
Fursa is free for job seekers. Under UAE labour rules, employers and recruitment agencies are not allowed to charge workers recruitment fees, and the employer is responsible for the costs of hiring you, including your work permit and visa. If anyone asks you to pay for a job, a visa, training, a medical test or “processing”, stop and report it.
Look for the verified badge and open the company’s profile on Fursa. Every employer here has been reviewed by our team.
You never need to share passport or Emirates ID copies to apply on Fursa. Only share documents once you have a written offer from an employer you trust.
Don’t transfer money, buy vouchers or share bank PINs or one-time passwords with anyone who contacts you about a job.
“Visa offered by the employer” means the employer says it will handle your visa. It is never a guarantee, and you should never pay for it.
Stop contact with the person and don’t send money or documents. Keep any messages, emails or receipts.
Use “Report listing” on the job page or “Report company” on the company profile. Our moderators review every report and remove listings that break our rules.
For labour-related issues, contact the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) through its official channels. If you’ve lost money or been defrauded, report it to the police.
