A NOTE ON RECRUITMENT FRAUD:

Please be advised that recruitment fraud has affected a number of Canadian companies. In such schemes, individuals posing as legitimate recruiters may request personal information and payment from those seeking employment. Loblaw Companies Limited, its subsidiaries, and recruiting agencies will never ask for payment at any stage in the recruitment process.

To avoid falling victim to recruitment fraud:

• Do not respond to unsolicited offers from people you are unfamiliar with.
• Do not disclose personal or financial details via text messages.
• Check any documents for poor grammar and spelling as this is often a warning sign of fraud.
• Beware of employers or agents using webmail email addresses such as @Yahoo or @Hotmail.
• Hover over email addresses to check the sender’s details.
• If you are asked for payment of any kind from a recruiter, contact your local police department as this is very likely to be fraud.
