Recruitment Fraud Alert

Fresenius Kabi is aware that scammers may attempt to impersonate our recruiters. While we have limited ability to stop these illegitimate efforts, there are some things you can do to protect yourself and not waste time communicating with an imposter.

• Check the email address – messages from our recruiters will always come from a company account with the Fresenius-kabi.com domain. We have seen imposters send emails using “Fresenius-kaabi.com” which of course includes an extra “a” in “Kabi.”

• Check our website to see if the position you were contacted about is actually posted.

• Be wary if someone asks you for personal information. We do not need your driver’s license, social security number, or bank account information before we have made you a conditional offer of employment.

• Refuse to pay any upfront fees. Fresenius Kabi never charges you a fee to apply for a job at Fresenius Kabi. We will not send you an invoice for equipment (such as a laptop) that we promise to order and reimburse you for once you start working.
