Scam Notice
On Enoc’s website, the company posted a few explanatory steps on how the recruitment process is carried out.
“It has come to our notice that unauthorized individuals or organizations are falsely using the Enoc/ Eppco names in an attempt to fraudulently recruit on behalf of Enoc and entities within Enoc Group of Companies,” said Enoc in a statement, posted on its website.
During the recruitment process, the candidate will, in general, meet in person with an Enoc employee or representative for an interview before any formal offer is made.
