Never pay anyone who promises you a job
Fake job adverts and visa scams cost people in the UAE money every week. Here is how to spot them, and what we do about them on this site.
Warning signs of a job scam
- They ask for a registration fee, training fee, uniform fee or any 'refundable deposit'.
- They ask you to hand over your passport, Emirates ID or bank card.
- The pay is far higher than similar jobs, with no interview or experience needed.
- They move you to Telegram or a WhatsApp group instead of meeting you.
- Recruitment by anyone who is not an agency licensed by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE). Licensed agencies may not charge workers fees.
What we do
- Every employer's trade licence is checked by our team before its jobs go live and show the Verified badge.
- Adverts that mention fees, deposits or passports are held for review automatically.
- Adverts may not limit jobs by gender, age, religion, nationality, ethnicity or appearance. A preference for UAE nationals under Emiratisation rules is allowed.
- Any job reported three times is taken offline until our team checks it.
Payments on this site
- We never sell jobs and never promise that you will be hired. Employers decide who they hire.
- Creating and editing your CV cost nothing. Credits pay for applying, with a CV tailored to each job, and for downloading your CV as a PDF.
- We never ask for cash, bank transfers or 'job fees'. The only payments on this site go through Stripe at checkout.
- Employers here may never ask you for money. Never pay an agent or anyone else who promises you a job.
Jobs from other websites
We also show remote jobs listed on other job boards. We have not verified these employers. Each remote job names the job board or careers page it comes from, with a link to its advert. The same rule applies everywhere: never pay anyone who promises you a job.
If something feels wrong
Use the 'Report this job' link on any of our job pages, or email support@topjobs.ae, even about a listing on another site. For fraud, you can also report it to the police through their online services, or call 999 in an emergency.
