POEA Warns Nurses vs Illegal Recruiters to US
Nov 14, 2003
The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) warned that Filipino nurses aspiring to work in the United States are likely victims of illegal recruiters posing as “management groups”.
“Applicants should be wary of these management groups. These entities are not allowed to recruit and deploy workers,” said POEA chief Rosalinda Baldoz. "These groups have no license to deploy license to the US or any other country."
Baldoz also said these groups advertise in major newspapers, claiming there are jobs in the United States available for Filipino nurses even without proper authorization from POEA.
“In one of the advertisement, a management group based in New York declared that it was engaged in a direct hiring program for nurses with a chance to become US immigrant,” she said.
Baldoz also warns provincial nurses as these management groups also offer reviews and examinations and conduct screening sessions in Cagayan de Oro City.
