Recruiting websites have a duty to check companies are legitimate

LI WENXING, a college graduate from a farmer's family in Dezhou, East China's Shandong province, was found dead in Tianjin on July 14, having moved there to take up his first job after graduating less than a month ago. Beijing News comments:

Li's parents said that after he went to work for a company in Tianjin he seemed like another person. Although the police investigation has yet to reach a conclusion, testimonies suggest that Li's death was directly related to his "employer", which was not a science and technology company registered in Beijing, as stated on the recruiting website zhipin.com, but rather a pyramid scheme.

If that is the case, it will only be matter of time before the police crack the illegal organization. However, the recruiting website must also be held accountable for not verifying the legitimacy of the company.
