FRAUDULENT RECRUITMENT / EMPLOYMENT OFFERS Shelf Drilling (nor any of the placement firms that recruit on our behalf) does NOT require potential candidates to make any form of advance payment as part of the hiring process. Shelf Drilling has been made aware of “scams” whereby unauthorized individuals have falsely advertised or promised high paying job opportunities and then requested payment of monies by the candidate to supposedly cover processing fees, visas, work permits or other formalities. These “scams” typically support these “offers” with forged documents giving the appearance of an official communication, including the use of the Shelf Drilling logo and links to the Shelf Drilling website. These communications are fraudulent and do not originate from Shelf Drilling, nor are they associated with the Shelf Drilling recruiting process.
