Be Aware of Recruiting Scams
We have become aware that parties are fraudulently posing as Kyowa Kirin executives or recruiters to engage jobseekers via various online job search sites. These unauthorized individuals are using the Kyowa Kirin name and logo—and even images and titles of certain HR executives—to solicit fees or other information from interested jobseekers.
If you have received an unsolicited communication regarding an employment opportunity at Kyowa Kirin, please do not respond with any personal information, open any attachments, or click any hyperlinks.
Please Know
- We never ask for fees of any kind, which these individuals are characterizing as "placement," “administration,” or "processing" fees.
- We do not require the download of an app to create a candidate profile.
