Please do not upload personal information like your passport, bank details or medical records. These are not required at this stage and should be protected.

To stay safe, review our 5-step guide to spotting job scams below. Help us protect jobseekers by staying informed.

How to spot a fraudulent job posting, email or other recruitment-related communication:

1. Someone asks for money. 

At Glencore we will never ask for money from you – in any circumstances. If someone is asking you to send them money, it’s definitely fraud.

2. You receive an email from a non-Glencore address.

We always use official Glencore email addresses, such as firstname.lastname@Glencore.com, or firstname.lastname@Glencore.com.au.

3. The job application is on a non-Glencore website.

All of our official job postings are hosted on www.glencore.com/careers/jobs. Although our jobs may be advertised on third-party sites such as LinkedIn, the application itself is always on the site above.

4. Someone asks for bank details before we’ve made an official job offer.

We never ask for your bank details until we’ve made an official offer, and we will always ask for your details using an official email address or other official communication channel.

5. You receive a job offer for a role you’ve not applied for. 

Before you can receive a job offer, you will always have applied for the job first, and will have been through our selection process, including a face-to-face interview. If this hasn’t yet happened, then it’s not an official job and you should not take it any further.

 

When you apply, your information is handled securely in line with Glencore’s Privacy Collection Policy. By submitting your application, you agree to us using your data for your current application and future job opportunities.

Yes – it’s part of every Glencore job application. You will need to declare any actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest, as outlined in our Conflict of Interest Policy.

We are a global business, but all applicants must have the legal right to work in the country where the job is located. You will be asked to provide proof (like a visa or work permit) during the hiring process.
