At noon today, Kanzhun Limited, the operator of the BOSS Zhipin recruitment platform, issued a holiday job-seeking safety advisory. With the National Day holiday approaching, many job seekers have begun exploring part-time opportunities in tourism and service sectors. However, recent routine inspections and risk monitoring by the platform's security team uncovered an alarming trend: certain recruiters are using titles like "travel consultant" or "tour guide" to attract applicants, only to alter the actual job scope during subsequent conversations and demand inappropriate services such as "multi-level accompaniment" or "one-on-one companionship."
To address this risk, the security team at Kanzhun Limited has outlined three typical scenarios for job seekers to watch for when evaluating such opportunities. The advisory urges candidates to verify job responsibilities carefully and to preserve evidence and report any suspicious activity to the platform without delay.
First, job seekers should check whether the actual work content matches the job description. Legitimate travel consultant and tour guide positions typically come with well-defined duties, target clientele, and working environments. If an employer changes the job scope mid-conversation or introduces requests clearly unrelated to the role, such as "one-on-one companionship," it is wise to remain cautious.
Second, be wary of unusually high pay offers. When a posting combines generous compensation with no experience requirements and vague job responsibilities, candidates should dig deeper into the specific tasks and expectations before proceeding.
Third, treat any abnormal requests unrelated to the job with suspicion. If a recruiter places excessive emphasis on physical appearance, asks for private lifestyle photos, or suggests interviews at locations like hotels or residential addresses that clearly deviate from standard hiring practices, the platform advises stopping communication immediately and reporting the incident through official channels.
In the event of any suspicious demands, job seekers should halt all interaction at once, retain chat logs, screenshots, and other relevant evidence, and flag the case via the platform's in-app reporting tools. Reports can also be submitted through the customer service hotline at 400-065-5799, the dedicated email address jubao@kanzhun.com, or by navigating to "My" and then "My Customer Service" within the BOSS Zhipin app.
Kanzhun Limited reiterated its commitment to strengthening oversight of such non-compliant recruitment practices. The company also reminded hiring parties to publish position information in full compliance with applicable laws and regulations, in order to jointly foster a secure and orderly job-seeking environment.
