DISCLAMER : Innnlegal only posts the leads and doesn’t verify them, so it’s on you to check if a company is legit before hitting apply. Innnlegal doesn’t support or endorse any recruiter asking for money at any stage—if someone asks for “fees” or “registration” costs, it’s a scam. Always do your own research, stay sharp, and look out for yourself.
