Visa Scheme Accused of Fake Jobs
15 Oct
Summary
- Man paid £3,600 for guaranteed jobs, received none.
- Company disputes allegations of fictitious services.
- Logos of healthcare firms used without authorization.
A UK-based immigration services company, Synetal Solutions, is under scrutiny following allegations that its advertised sponsored job placements are fictitious. Apurv Patel, a Skilled Worker visa holder, reported paying £3,600 for healthcare training with a verbal promise of guaranteed employment. Despite this, he claims to have received no job offers, interviews, or meaningful support eight months later.
Synetal Solutions has stated it "disputes the broad allegation that its services or candidate outcomes are fictitious" and is reviewing concerns. The company advertised a "three-month recruitment programme" for £5,500, including training and sponsorship. Home Office guidelines permit agencies to charge for services like training but not solely for securing employment.
Further investigation revealed that healthcare organizations whose logos appeared on Synetal Solutions' website denied any association with the firm. Some stated they had not authorized the use of their branding and would not accept certificates from the company's training programs. The training platform iHasco also confirmed Synetal Solutions was a customer but is investigating potential breaches of terms regarding reselling content.
