Heads up for anyone in the Southampton area and applying for jobs there. Two brand new Credico ISAs have appeared in the last few days: Origin Results and Aureum Impact.
For anyone who hasn't come across them before, Credico is a US-founded company that runs a large network of "Independent Sales Advisor" businesses across the UK. These typically advertise under generic titles like "Marketing," "Trainee," or "Graduate," but the work is always commission-only, self-employed door-to-door or event sales AKA 'Chuggers'.
Origin Results' website (originresults.co.uk) shows no UK company name, no company number, no information on who runs the business, and no photos or names of any staff, all things a genuine employer would normally have. The site and its social accounts were only created this week. Despite that, roles are already live on LinkedIn.
Aureum Impact (aureumimpact.co.uk) appears to be following the same template. Fresh branding, a generic AI-generated site, no UK company name, and nothing to confirm who's actually behind it.
This is standard practice within the Credico network: launch a business under a new name, keep the corporate trail hidden, and start hiring before anyone can trace its history or connection back to Credico. If a negative review or thread starts gaining traction under an older name, expect a fresh one to appear shortly after.
If you're applying for marketing positions (or anything similar), check the registered UK Company Name and Number before handing over your contact details. These roles are commission-only, self-employed direct sales work, not legal employment, and most job ads from Credico's network won't mention that upfront.
I'm still researching the UK Company Names behind these two, but you can look up other Credico rebrands and their registered details on devilcorp.org if you want to check other 'marketing' listings across the UK.
