Recruitment Scam Warning
Protecting candidates is very important to us. All communications regarding your application will come from an email address ending in @diageo.com. In our recruitment process, we'll never ask for money.
Never pay a recruiter for a job offer or a visa promise. Check the original posting and employer identity before sharing documents. Pay any legitimate government visa fees only through official channels.
The posting says the employer sponsors visas for this role. Your eligibility still depends on the visa rules; confirm with the employer. “Ideally, you are an expat (or have been an expat) living in London or willing to relocate (ARQ can sponsor your visa)”
