Full analysis
Overview
PSL-Recruit is a boutique healthcare recruitment consultancy presenting support-worker, care-home, nursing, training, and staffing services to employers and candidates, with an apparent business model based on recruitment placements and related support services.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site presents as a conventional recruitment business and the reviewed pages contain no login form, payment solicitation, wallet connection, or other obvious phishing mechanism. No brand impersonation or conflicting legal identity was observed. However, the domain is subject to a confirmed external blacklist finding and multiple malicious detections, creating a material contradiction that outweighs the otherwise ordinary page presentation. The appropriate posture is therefore strongly cautionary for credentials, financial information, or other sensitive interactions.
- External reputation checks recorded a confirmed blacklist hit from multiple sources and five malicious detections.
- The homepage identifies healthcare recruitment, support-worker, care-home, and nursing services; the reviewed page analysis found no forms or financial solicitation.
- Domain registration records show registration on 2019-10-05, with an age of 6.88 years.
- Archive records show the domain was first seen on 2020-03-11 and last seen on 2025-07-13, with 6 years tracked.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The footer identifies PSL-Recruit as a trading style of Princade Services Limited, which provides an apparent legal-entity association but does not independently verify the operator. The reviewed material does not present a licensing authority or registration number for the recruitment and training activities, leaving a regulatory-disclosure gap that should be resolved independently. The site's low page-authority signal is a contextual limitation, not a regulatory determination. A valid domain-validated TLS certificate and identifiable hosting provide technical continuity but do not establish licensing or legal standing.
- The homepage footer states “©2020 by PSL-Recruit, a trading style of Princade Services Limited.”
- No licensing authority or registration number is presented in the reviewed business and contact content.
- The site is served from AS46606, Unified Layer, US.
- TLS is issued by YR2 at DV validation level and is valid to 2026-10-28.
What to Verify Next
Before any sensitive engagement, an independent check should confirm that Princade Services Limited is the entity operating the service and that any required recruitment, employment-agency, or training permissions apply to its activities. Contact channels should be confirmed through an independently sourced route, and candidate or employer communications should be validated before documents, identity information, or payment details are exchanged.
- The homepage provides company, training, and contact navigation suitable for cross-checking against independently obtained business information.
- The reviewed site contains no credential-submission form, so sensitive exchanges would occur through subsequent communications rather than through an observed site form.
- The recruitment and training scope described on the site should be matched to the requirements of the relevant jurisdiction before engagement.
Summary Verdict
The website has a conventional recruitment presentation, but the confirmed external blacklist finding creates a critical trust posture for sensitive interaction. Apparent business identity and technically stable operation do not overcome that contradiction, and the operator should not be treated as independently verified.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site resolves to a single hosting address on Unified Layer infrastructure, with no detected CDN or WAF edge layer and no identified origin-candidate set. The hosting arrangement is technically identifiable, but it provides no legitimacy assurance and does not mitigate the external reputation risk.
- Infrastructure resolution reports 1 unique IP, 0 edge IPs, and 0 likely origin candidates.
- No CDN was detected in the reviewed infrastructure facts.
- Infrastructure resolution status is recorded as resolved through ARIN-registered hosting infrastructure.
Closing Assessment
Passive viewing is the only proportionate use until the external reputation finding and business identity have been independently cleared; credentials, identity documents, and financial information should not be submitted.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about psl-recruit.com at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.
TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
