AngloGold Ashanti has cautioned the general public against fake recruitment.

The company said, “it has come to its notice that some parties and/or individuals, unrelated to the Company, have been posting online job vacancies in the name of the Company  and its subsidiary, AngloGold Ashanti (Iduapriem) Limited.

These individuals and/or companies write to unsuspecting job seekers either on a fraudulently designed AngloGold Ashanti letterhead or the letterhead of an alleged South African mining and Construction company known as Belko-SA Mining & Construction Company, which claims to have branches in Tarkwa, Obuasi and South Africa.”

According to a press release by the Head, Legal Services & Company Secretary, Juliet Manteaw-Kutin, “These job vacancies are false and those involved have not been contracted to recruit on behalf of the Company or its subsidiary, AngloGold Ashanti Iduapriem Limited. The general public is strongly advised not to respond to such vacancy advertisements." 

The Company said it has reported this to the appropriate authorities and are working with them to bring the perpetrators to book.
