The Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker) invites the public to ensure the legality of the company before participating in the interview process as one of the steps to prevent being trapped in job vacancies fraud and to make complaints when finding indications of fraud.

"We remind job seekers to always check whether companies offering the work have been officially registered and have valid operational permits," said Head of the Public Relations Bureau of the Sunardi Ministry of Manpower, quoting Antara.

He said that the increasing number of job vacancies on various digital platforms, either through websites or social media, allows for companies that do not have legality or a valid business license.

For this reason, in order to avoid becoming a victim of job vacancy fraud, his party has provided several preventive tips, such as verifying directly through the company's official website or contacting the authorities. He also asked the public not to provide arbitrary personal information, especially if there is no clarity regarding the company's origins.

The Ministry of Manpower, continued Sunardi, opened a complaint channel for people who feel disadvantaged or find indications of fraud related to job vacancies. Complaints can be submitted through the official website of the Ministry of Manpower and hotline services at 1500630.

"I invite the public not to hesitate to report to the police, because fraud is a criminal act," he said.

In addition, the Ministry of Manpower has also taken steps to deal with the rise of job vacancies hoaxes that are troubling the public. One of them is establishing a Job Vacancies Hoax Prevention Post, which can be accessed through various channels such as call centers, WhatsApp, websites, and official Ministry of Manpower social media.

"We are working with the Manpower Office in the regions to establish a similar post, this is intended so that people can immediately report if there are suspicious job vacancies in their area," he explained.

Following up on job vacancies hoaxes, the Ministry of Manpower formed a Task Force involving agencies such as BSSN, Kominfo, Polri, and the Regional Manpower Office. The task of the Task Force is to ensure that every information on job vacancies that are spread has been strictly verified and will take action against hoax lockers.

In addition, to make it easier for job seekers, the Ministry of Manpower provides information on valid job vacancies through the official portal www.karirhub.kemnaker.go.id. The Ministry of Manpower also cooperates with the National Police to carry out direct inspections of parties who are proven to be spreading false information.
