Recruitment Scams

Recruitment scams are on the rise with fraudsters impersonating large brands to take advantage of job seekers with tactics such as fake job offers and advance fee scams.

Please remember:

• Barclays never requests payment or gifts (cash or kind) at any stage of recruitment.
• All genuine communication from Barclays is conducted only through official, verified channels.
• We do not communicate via social media platforms (including WhatsApp) for recruitment, onboarding, or client engagement.

Your safety and trust are paramount. Barclays disclaims any liability for communications or engagements initiated through unauthorised methods by unauthorised individuals. If you receive any suspicious messages, emails, calls, letters, or profiles claiming to represent Barclays — or if you are ever in doubt — we urge you to:
