Don't pay! **** alert

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.

This full time Administrative Assistant Position is available for an Eastern Cape based logistics company (name & exact location withheld at this time due to company policy and this will only be disclosed at a later stage).

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.

This helps us to ensure that we are making the right decisions during the recruitment process.

The DBS / Background Check Verification Report / Certificate should includes:

1. Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) 2. ******** Records Check 3. ID / Passport Verifications 4. Qualifications Verifications 5. Anti-***** 6. Pre-employment Polygraph Test (Not Required) 7. Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) & Sanctions 8. ***** 9. Register of Employees Dishonesty System (REDS)

Kindly note that as an agency, we do not provide these services and we would recommend Quest Red South Africa to assist you with all the above services as they have proven to be loyal, fast, professionals, reliable & affordable.

If you're interested in the opportunity and you want them to assist you with the DBS & Background Check, please send an email to: services@questred.co.za or questredza@gmail.com requesting full information regarding the DBS / background check and profile screening services.

You can also visit www.questred.co.za or call: Tel: 087 152 0117, Cell: 079 352 6674

Kindly note that a service fee for the above mentioned process applies and according to our T&Cs, the service fee has to be covered by you (The applicant) and cannot be deducted from any of your salaries whatsoever.

Once we receive your DBS & background check results / outcomes report, we will then finalize the entire application process and you will be joining the first week of December 2025, before closing for holidays. (Exact date will be announced within your appointment letter).

Alternatively, if you have already obtained one, please email the DBS & Background check verification report / certificate to: admin@ecstaffing.co.za on Friday 27th November 2025.

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

N.B: Only a police clearance is NOT a valid proof of your DBS & background checks for employment purposes as it does not include all the information required and it CANNOT be used.

ANY OTHER INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR NEW ROLE WILL BE PROVIDED AFTER RECEIVING YOUR BACKGROUND CHECKS AND SCREENING VERIFICATION REPORT / CERTIFICATE.

Kindly note that this is a guaranteed placement for December 2025 and you must be available to start with the employment.

Congratulations and we look forward to having you as an employee.

Please also note that due to the nature of our recruitment system, we might not be able to respond to your emails in time. So to avoid any delays, we advise you to do exactly as per this email.

Please ignore this email if you're not interested in the position.

Kind Regards

Celine Mulder Recruitment Officer EC Staffing Solutions"
