Recruiting Agency Verification
Quick answer
To check whether a recruiting agency is legitimate, use BMET's Recruiting Agents' Information System (raims.oep.gov.bd/agencies). It shows licence number, address, phone, licence status and validity.
Documents required
- Agency name or licence number (e.g. RL1857)
- Internet connection
Steps
- Open 'Recruiting Agency List' under the Recruiting Agency menu on bmet.gov.bd, or go directly to raims.oep.gov.bd/agencies.
- Type the agency name or licence number in the search box.
- Check License Status: 'Active' means the licence is in force; be careful with Cancelled, Suspended or Expired.
- Check whether the licence validity date has passed.
- Match the address and phone with what you were given.
Common mistakes
- Trusting an office signboard alone
- Not checking Active/Cancelled status
- Paying an agency with an expired licence
- Confusing agencies with similar names at other addresses
