Agnico Eagle Mines Limited has become aware of a series of fraudulent job offers that have been made by individuals, organizations, Internet sites, email accounts or social media accounts that claim that they are representing our company.
In some cases, job seekers have been requested to complete forms which ask them for personal information or to pay a processing or work permit fee in order to begin their job.
All of these offers are fake and do not originate from Agnico Eagle Mines Limited. They are recruitment scams. Agnico Eagle Mines Limited never seeks fees from job applicants under any circumstances.
