How to check whether an international job offer is genuine

Five checks that take less time than reading the offer.

29 Jul 2026 · 3 min read

Who is the employer? A genuine offer names the employer and the location. ‘A company in the Gulf’ is not an employer.

Who is asking for money? Reputable recruiters do not charge candidates for a job offer, a shortlisting or an interview. If money is requested before a contract exists, stop.

Where did the communication come from? Official communication from MylesPort comes from an @mylesport.co.ke address or our published telephone numbers. Personal email addresses and social-media accounts are not official channels — for us or for any serious firm.

Can you read the contract? You should see the whole contract — role, salary, hours, leave, accommodation, repatriation — before you sign, in a language you read. If the answer is ‘sign now, details later’, the details will not improve.

Can you verify it independently? Call the recruiter’s office on a number you found yourself, not one in the message. A genuine firm will confirm or deny an offer in minutes and will thank you for checking.
