Before you apply

  • Confirm the requirements and closing date on the original listing (jobmail). SPANi lists vacancies from other sites and may not reflect last-minute changes.
  • Legitimate employers do not charge application, registration or training fees.
  • Don't send your ID or bank details before you have confirmed the employer is real.

How to spot a job scam

Applying for permanent roles

  • Mirror the job title and top three requirements in your CV summary and most recent experience.
  • Quantify results where possible: sales targets, cases handled, tickets closed, or team size.
  • Proofread contact details and filenames before submitting — small errors cost interviews.
  • Verify the company and role on the source page before sharing ID copies or banking details.
