Stay safe while applying

Simple checks that protect South African job seekers from application scams and identity theft.

JobMoja never asks you to pay for a job application.

Verify the destination

Check the employer name, vacancy reference and final domain. Be cautious when an application immediately moves to private messaging or a free email address.

Protect sensitive information

Never share a bank PIN, password or one-time code. Submit identity and qualification documents only when the real process requires them and the destination is verified.

Watch for payment requests

Do not pay to reserve a vacancy, guarantee an interview, buy required equipment from a named seller or unlock application results.
