Please read an important notice on fraudulent recruitment communications.

Take care to avoid fraudulent communications purporting to be on behalf of eHealth.

Recent incidents have occurred involving organizations falsely claiming to recruit on behalf of eHealth. These organizations, purporting to either work for or be affiliated with eHealth, notify individuals that their qualifications were found suitable to work as an employee (local or expatriate) for eHealth and solicit the transfer of significant sums of money to pay for work permits, insurance policies, etc.

Please note that eHealth does not (nor do any of the organizations that recruit on our behalf) ever ask for money or payments from applicants at any point in the recruitment process. All individuals who are successful in gaining an offer of employment from eHealth, whether directly or indirectly, are always required to go through a formal recruitment process.

Please note that these communications are fraudulent. They do not originate from eHealth nor are they associated with eHealth’s recruitment process.

Noticeable points of such communications are that the communications come from non-eHealth e-mail addresses (e.g. from a yahoo.com address); the use of English is poor; and that money is requested at some stage.

We recommend that you do not respond to unsolicited business propositions and/or offers from people with whom you are unfamiliar. Do not disclose your personal or financial details to anyone you do not know. If you receive such proposals, we would advise you to contact your local police station and provide them with all information you may have from the senders (email addresses, phone/fax details, etc.).
