Recruitment Fraud Warning

It has come to our attention that candidates have been contacted through job sites such as Indeed and Career Builder, by people impersonating Smith+Nephew recruiters.

Please note that we will only ever contact you through an email address from the domain @smith-nephew.com and we do not interview via apps such as Trillian or Ring Central.

If you are concerned by any correspondence you receive claiming to be from Smith+Nephew, please contact us on GBS.Preboarding.us@smith-nephew.com
