Job scams in Kenya often borrow the names of real companies. If someone offers you a job at DBM, here is how to check it.
How our hiring works
- Every DBM vacancy is published on dbm.co.ke/careers with a reference number such as DBM-V-2026-0001.
- You apply through that page. We acknowledge your application by email with an application reference.
- Shortlisted candidates are contacted from an @dbm.co.ke email address and interviewed at our office at Pembe Plaza, Industrial Area, or by video call.
- Offers are made in writing, on DBM letterhead, with an offer code you can check on our careers page.
We never ask you to pay
DBM does not charge any fee, at any stage: not to apply, not for interviews, not for training, uniforms, medicals or "processing". Anyone asking for money in our name is not acting for DBM.
Warning signs
- You are "hired" after a short WhatsApp chat, with no interview.
- The recruiter uses a Gmail or Yahoo address, or only messages on WhatsApp or Telegram.
- You are asked to pay to an M-Pesa number, or pressured to pay today.
- The vacancy is not on our careers page, or the reference does not verify.
How we protect your data
We collect only what we need to assess your application: your contact details, your CV and what you tell us about your experience. We do not ask for your ID number, age, religion, tribe or marital status at application stage. Unsuccessful applications are deleted after 12 months unless you ask us to keep you in our talent pool, and you can withdraw at any time using the link in your acknowledgement email.
If you suspect a scam using our name, write to sales@dbm.co.ke or call +254 741 124 814.
