Taiwan – Recruitment sites remove job postings in wake of Cambodia scams (Taiwan News)

22 August 2022

Job boards in Taiwan such as 104 Corp and 1111 Job Bank have removed “suspicious” job postings with locations in Southeast Asia, West Asia, and Africa as authorities continue to investigate and rescue victims from human trafficking operations in Cambodia, reports Taiwan News. 104 Corp said it made a point of contacting employers with companies in Taiwan about job openings in “high-risk countries.” Aside from postings by publicly traded companies that provided proof of investment approval, 179 job postings by 37 businesses were removed. 104 added that it has decided to err on the side of caution and banned companies from high-risk areas including Cambodia, the United Arab Emirates. Meanwhile, 1111 said it had launched a full-on investigation since May, when it discovered issues with certain employers during a self-audit. Since then, it has removed all questionable job listings, which include those in the gambling business, or those with unreasonably high pay or benefits.
