The claim that the South Sudan Red Cross is recruiting for several jobs is false
Fact-checker: Angelina Adut Akech
This Facebook post (archived link) of a Red Cross South Sudan job advert claiming to be recruiting new employees in June 2025 is false.
The post shared by a page named Summit Recruitment and Search Limited (archived link) attracted over 330 reactions and 160 comments.
The post reads, “We are looking for passionate, dedicated, and service-driven individuals aged between 18 and 45 to join our dynamic teams across South Sudan with the following positions: supervisors and administrators, first aiders, data collectors, cleaners and security guards, motorbike riders, and many more.”

Depending on the comments, where some followers were already showing suspicion, like ‘Scam’ and ‘This is fake’, although we had some who were already showing interest, this made this publication carry out an investigation.
On opening the advert link of the Summit Recruitment and Search Limited, it takes a user directly to a Google Form which requests people to fill in all information from names to the kind of position you’re interested in. The format of the form, which is designed in a way that it can easily be used, and the number of the jobs listed further still raised a lot of concerns.
Debunking the Claim:
A keyword search of the words ‘South Sudan’, ‘jobs’, and ‘scams’ returns several results refuting the fact that they are recruiting for jobs.
Among the results is a video posted on the legitimate South Sudan Red Cross (archived link) page with a debunk refuting the above.
Some other sites that also debunked the same are seen here, here (archived link), here and here (archived link).
The page ‘Summit Recruitment and Search Africa’ has recently been created, and it claims to be advertising available jobs, which many people are falling for to be true since it is gaining more followers.
The Google Forms trick has been a common practice used by scammers to collect people’s personal information in the name of promising jobs or study opportunities. Unsuspecting opportunity seekers hand in very sensitive information that the scammer will later use at will to either sell it to a third party or use it for hacking or scamming individuals
Our Verdict:
The ClarityDesk investigation has found the claim that Red Cross South Sudan is recruiting for several jobs to be false. The job advertisement is a common trick used by scammers to collect individuals’ personal information of unsuspecting job seekers. We should all avoid clicking and easily handing over our data.
