Then stop wasting your time. Any reputable company would at least own a website, a linkedin account, facebook...So it is not worth working for or dealing with.

I agree with Mr. Mouawad el-Hajal.  Definitely ignore this company and don't consider working at it because if it were a proper place to work at or deal with, it would have a website or at least a LinkedIn or Facebook page.  If it doesn't have any of those then most probably it is mediocre or just started without any business yet.

Thanks Mohds !

In most cases that is a very bad sign ! You should preferably change the direction.

Question of possible co-workers or friends to have relationships with companies in the same field

Words can question someone who works in construction have the knowledge of companies that operate contracting

 

So should ask people to have competence.

I agree with Mr. Mouawad el-Hajal, but if it is too important to get information about the company, then I guess we should follow procedure explained by Mr. Divyesh.

It could be that the company is just starting up and needs a leader to appropriately guide them in that direction. Many starter companies need time to get website in order, and other obstacles in the way. I personally would call the company and ask to meet with them on a formal basis. You can then ask all the questions when you find who is in charge. Also you can advise them what to do. But if there is no contact number then I wouldn't waste valuable time on it.

It happens n many cases that the companies not update their websites.  Often it is initially constructed and not properly updated or constructed. But as of now the importance very much recognized and good companies follow the up grading with positive intentions. A little more patience would resolve the issue,I think, a period of5 years more.  Till then I am sure and hope so, a personal inquiry  could also be helpful in addition to the web search.

Incomplete information is dangerous. Today all companies have websites even government departments are also using information technology and update on daily basis. 

So if you can't find it on Internet, leave think about that.

  1. If there is a contact number, you can call that number and get more details on the company
  2. Speak to friends and family about the company
  3. Use social media to get more details on the company. If the company do exist, someone will know about it.
