The Ghana Education Service (GES) has cautioned the public against fraudulent recruitment announcements and links circulating on social media, clarifying that it has not yet opened its recruitment portal.
The Service urged prospective applicants to disregard any information, links or messages currently circulating about recruitment, warning that such communications should not be treated as authentic.
In a notice shared on Facebook, the GES said all legitimate information concerning recruitment into the Service would be communicated exclusively through its official communication platforms.
It therefore encouraged the public, particularly prospective applicants, to follow its verified channels for accurate and timely updates on recruitment and other activities.
The Service also warned that unscrupulous individuals often exploit recruitment periods to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.
According to the GES, such individuals may circulate false recruitment information, demand money from applicants or issue fake appointment letters in an attempt to deceive job seekers.
It urged the public to remain vigilant, avoid making payments to individuals claiming to facilitate recruitment and refrain from relying on unverified sources.
The Service further advised prospective applicants to cross-check all recruitment-related information and confirm the authenticity of any communication through its official platforms before taking action.
The GES reiterated that any genuine recruitment update would be communicated through its recognised channels and urged the public to exercise caution until further notice.
