Frequently Asked Questions.
Please be aware of fraudulent recruitment activity – this is where individuals or organizations pose as McCain Foods representatives to offer false employment and/or visas in return for a fee.
McCain Foods will never make an offer of employment without taking the candidate through an interview process, which will almost certainly involve a face-to-face meeting with a McCain Foods HR representative. McCain Foods and any legitimate third parties working on behalf of McCain Foods will never ask candidates to pay any type of fees.
