Beware of fraudulent job offerings
We have received an increased number of people contacting us after having been approached by scammers pretending to represent Basilea. Please note that Basilea will never ask or require candidates to send money or gift cards for application fees, interview fees, visas, plane tickets or other costs associated with recruitment. Furthermore Basilea does not approach candidates or conduct interviews through instant messaging applications, nor are we currently recruiting U.S.-based positions. If you have been asked by someone you think may be representing Basilea to send money to cover such costs, you may be the target of an elaborate scam.
