We attempted to verify the authenticity of this offer by contacting SNEL officials and testing the two email addresses provided. In the absence of a response and after consulting SNEL's official website, we found that no job offers or recruitment announcements were mentioned there.
A more thorough analysis revealed that this posting is misleading: SNEL does not use the email addresses infosnelrdc@gmail.com and contactrdcsnel@gmail.com, but rather the official address info@snel.cd.
Our searches via Google Lens also revealed that the online media outlet Elezafact had already debunked this offer. Other elements, such as the use of an illegible old seal for the ONEM (National Employment Office) and Personnel Department stamps, as well as insufficiently detailed descriptions of candidate profiles, confirm the lack of credibility of this offer.
Furthermore, no job posting website in the Democratic Republic of Congo, including ONEM, Emploi, or Apua-Asea, has published such a purported recruitment offer for SNEL.
