Recruitment scam alert

There have been incidents with organisations or individuals fraudulently claiming to be recruiting on behalf of SPC and requesting payments or financial information from candidates. SPC will never request payment or your financial information during the recruitment process.

All SPC staff, including the Recruitment Team will communicate with you from their official SPC email addresses (ending in @spc.int).

SPC may occasionally use a recruitment agency to promote our vacancies and approach candidates. If you would like to check the legitimacy of these services, please contact [email protected]

SPC takes this issue very seriously and is taking all the measures it can to stop this type of fraud.
