Is DeskAbroad legit? Yes — and it is free for candidates.
DeskAbroad is a genuine platform that connects India's workforce with remote and international employers. We never charge jobseekers a single rupee. If anyone asks you to pay a fee to get a job through DeskAbroad, they are impersonating us.
Free for candidates, always
Registration, profile assessments, tests, training, and placement are free for every candidate. Our business is funded by employers, not jobseekers. There is no premium tier you must buy to be considered for a role.
What DeskAbroad will never ask you
- A registration, application, or joining fee
- A 'security deposit' refundable after you start
- Payment for an English test, assessment, or certificate
- Payment for training before a job is confirmed
- Your bank password, UPI PIN, or card OTP
If you are asked for any of the above, stop and report it here. It is a scam, not DeskAbroad.
