Unfortunately, it has come to our attention that fraudulent recruitment messages bearing the name of Lime Petroleum are circulating across various platforms. We are also aware of scammers impersonating a recruitment agency and pretending to recruit on Lime Petroleum's behalf. These scammers may even conduct an interview to try and solicit personal information or money from prospective applicants.
Important facts about our procedures
Please note that Lime Petroleum will NOT request money from applicants either directly to us or to third party (e.g. for ‘visa fees, embassy fees’, security deposits, taxes, a percentage of travel expenses). We will also NOT request personal information such as passport and bank account details at an early stage of the process.
Also, please note that if you were to receive any emails from us, the address would always end with @limepetroleum.com. If this is not the case, please treat the contact as fraudulent and forward the details to us.
LinkedIn is an important global professional network and hence a prioritised channel for future recruitment. We strongly recommend that you only connect with people that you know and trust.
