Never pay to get a job. No interview was conducted, they just sent this BS email. If a company was serious about hiring you, they would invest in their staff. Email below: "Dear Applicant, My name is Celine Mulder, your Recruitment Officer at EC Staffing Solutions Recruitment. Apologies for sending the email at this time. We received your application in regards to the Administrative Assistant Position and with pleasure, I would like to inform you that your application has been approved via our recruitment program.

The position is available to start as soon as possible at a monthly net salary of up to R14K working under EC Staffing Solutions. However, before we finalize the entire process, we require a full & recent (not older than one month) DBS / Background check verification report as this is now compulsory prior to the final job offer. A DBS / background check verification report is an official record stating a person's ******** convictions and more.

Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) 2. ******** Records Check 3. ID / Passport Verifications 4. Qualifications Verifications 5. Anti-***** 6. Pre-employment Polygraph Test (Not Required) 7.

We deeply apologize for such a short notice as we must finalize this application process as soon as possible.

EC Staffing ********** Brown via Gumtree ********** After various requests to be deleted from their e-mail list i still get e-mails for positions I have never applied for. The salary on the 2 attachments in the e-mail ie R9500 & R9850. Obvioulsy there is a "placement fee" charged, which to my knowledge is illegal Desperate people will fall for this and be mislead by the promise of a job, and then be told they did not qualify.
