It has come to our attention that the AtkinsRéalis name is being used in recruitment scams. Recruitment scams are increasingly being carried out online through false job advertisements, job websites, or through unsolicited emails, pretending to be from a legitimate company such as AtkinsRéalis .
Individuals are being sent offer letters via email, supposedly from a AtkinsRéalis employee. We understand that the individuals have been sent application forms which ask for personal details (including passport and bank details). We are also aware that there have been job advertisements placed on recruitment websites advertising fictitious jobs at AtkinsRéalis . The advertisements ask prospective applicants to contact an email address if they wish to apply for the job. Please be advised that these emails/advertisements are not connected with AtkinsRéalis in any way.
If you receive any communication from an email address that does not end in “@snclavalin.com”, "@snclgroup.com", "@atkinsglobal.com", or "fgould.com", you should disregard the email and alert our Integrity group via the Integrity Hotline so appropriate action can be taken.
If possible, please send us the scam email as an attachment to your email, rather than simply forwarding it to us, in order to assist our investigations.
What are signs of recruitment fraud?
