Experience:

A candidate reported receiving a call from GulfTalent regarding a job opportunity in Dubai with the "Ministry of Possibility UAE". They subsequently had a video call via Zoom with someone identified as "HR," for whom no specific details were provided by the GulfTalent team. During this call, the candidate was asked for a self-introduction, about their willingness to move to Dubai, why they were interested in the opportunity, and their salary expectations (1,80,000 AED per year). The candidate was informed that they were directly selected for the final round but needed to obtain a "Certified Agile Scrum Master (CASM) Certification." After acquiring a CASM certification from Scrum Alliance, they were told it needed to be "HRDC accredited" and were provided a link to a specific provider (eiric.ae). The candidate noted several "red flags," including the unusual salary notation and the last-minute requirement for a specific, accredited certification with a tight deadline, leading them to suspect it was a scam.
