Important warning: Director recruitment scams

New Zealand directors are being targeted by increasingly sophisticated recruitment scams. If approached about a board opportunity, always verify the recruiter and the legitimacy of the role before sharing personal information. The IoD will never ask you to apply through an undisclosed third party claiming to act on our behalf. If in doubt, please contact us directly.
