Chevron Nigeria Limited (CNL) has cautioned job-seekers to shun any advertisement claiming it is recruiting.

In a statement on Friday, Esimaje Brikinn, general manager, policy and government and public affairs, CNL, said the medium for seeking applicants includes a dedicated page on its website as well as national newspapers.

CNL, therefore, described the advertisement for jobs at the company on online platforms as false.

“Chevron Nigeria Limited, operator of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)/CNL Joint Venture, is aware of the circulation of false recruitment information posted in several media and online channels by unscrupulous persons and organizations in the name of CNL and Chevron Corporation, purportedly advertising job positions in CNL,” the statement reads.

The company also said fraudulent job offers have reportedly been sent through emails, text messages and phone calls by individuals purporting to be representatives of CNL, with an intent to defraud their victims.

“CNL hereby dissociates itself from such false job recruitment information and job offers published in any newspaper, web site, email, poster, handbill or any other medium. CNL did not make or authorize such publications,” the company added.

“Members of the public are hereby notified that CNL does not and will not require applicants to make any payment towards processing any job application. Recruitment advertisements requesting candidates to pay money at any point during the recruitment process are not from CNL.

“CNL does not solicit job applications or initiate recruitment processes through emails, posters, handbills, text messages, social media, or phone calls.

“Job seekers are advised to always check the company’s website at: http:/www.careers.chevron.com, and the national newspapers for job advertisements from CNL.”

CNL added that it would not respond to enquiries about fraudulent advertisements and job offers.
