'Not available in your country'

They keep sending me emails about jobs. When I open the job it tells me it isnt available in my country. I have not set my country, I cant even find where to set my country. I cant apply for the job. So I have emailed their customer support multiple times. Still the same issue, still nada in the way of help. Hopeless, crap company, waste of effort, waste of space. I am putting them on the spam list as of now.

Haven for scam operators

I was sent an email with job positions. I clicked through to the company website, and I ended up in a HR platform. The position when opened looked legitimate, but once I applied I got an automated message which did not look authentic and was after me to click on a link. I called the company that supposedly advertised what looks like a considerable number of positions and they have no knowledge. Don't go near this site as I am now concerned where my resume has ended up.

Bait and Switch website

Bait and click site. Inputted Air Traffic Controller and maintained it for a month. Each time I received a Line Cook or other unrelated job opening with nothing to do with air traffic control. Put in Executive Assistant and got pizza and fast food manager positions. Despite an ad stating they have ATC positions, after having searched through their entire site, they do not. Not worth the time and effort.

Beware

You're probably frustrated with Indeed. Not getting enough candidates? Why not try Talent.com. Sure it looks great. Millions of "visitors", email and other outreach. But it wasn't worth it. Accounts team were helpful.

This will be my second time trying.com

This will be my second time trying talent.com. I tried it a couple years ago got rid of it. Try it again this month and I'm going to get rid of it for the same reason. A lot of clickbait even when you sign up and they do point you toward the fields you signed up for and are interested in it's literally mainly clickbait you click on one thing then there's a couple of ads and then that ad leads you to 300 more random different sites for employment help. All it does is have you put in your information the only help that this talent.com site gives is to make sure your phone number text or email works by blowing it up with a thousand notifications a day of nonsense

Don’t waste your time using this job search site. Unless you want your inbox to be bombarded with jobs that have no relevance to you or no where near your search area.
Contacted their customer support who did nothing to help. Best thing you can do is unsubscribe from them, but you will probably end up blocking them cause that won’t work either

Shady Salesman

Salesmen by the name of Johnny Swidergal called our company stating our CEO called him 2 hours ago, I know this is a fabrication as our CEO has been busy planning his fathers funeral all week. Extremely shady business practice just to try and get him on the phone.

Useless

There is no visible option for providing feedback, so instead, you get another 1 star review.

I am a C++ programmer, which is very different from a C# programmer, not to be confused with a C/C++ programmer, and also there exists a C/C++/C# programmer.

but you don't allow symbols in your screen filters, so I cannot remove C# positions.
Also, I am entry level, so senior development offers are a waste of everyones time, and when I saw you spamming me with kitchen cook offers, its time to block you.

Garbage site

Garbage site, totally useless. Everyday I get numerous spam emails for an "IT Position" - I am interested in IT work but after about 5 "clickbait" emails I don't even check them anymore. Sample "IT Positions" they are notifying me of include jobs like dishwashing, driving, retail work, cashier, etc. Garbage Site!

Here is how to do it:
1. Sign in to your account.
2. Click on "Settings" on the collapse menu under your name.
3. Choose "My notifications" on the left menu.
4. Go to "Job recommendations" and select "Yes" on the statement "Send me Talent․com's job recommendations based on my profile, job search activity, saved jobs and applied jobs".
For better recommendations, we suggest you use specific job titles that you want, not general keywords.

Feel free to contact us if you have any other questions regarding email alerts. If you are not comfortable with these steps, you can also opt out of the emails.
We hope this improves your job search.

This company is sick and irresponsible

This company is sick and irresponsible. When their data is out of date they keep it visible and just fail to update it. Employers use this misinformation to screw over employees and push people into poverty. If your employer refers to this website, walk out. Do not let them ruin your life and happiness by turning you into a debt machine.

Hello, we are sorry to hear that you've found expired offers on our site. Our content team works hard to keep all the information updated and facilitate the job search for users, however, on some occasions, the machines can take a few hours to reflect the changes of the source on our site, and that's why you can see these offers in the results. We'll take this opportunity to clarify that our service is completely free for job seekers and that there are many options to find more vacancies adjusted to your profile.

If I had a dime for all the messages and emails.

After entering my information the already tedious amount of spam and spam calls increased. Also, various other job websites started emailing me. When I did see a job I was interested in it became an unending loop of sites with redirects. Still ignoring spam calls, emails, and messages. Ongoing and going.

Hi Stuart, we regret to hear that you had a negative experience on our website. It's unusual for us to hear of this behaviour on our site, since we try to redirect users directly to the company site to apply for a job. If possible, could you send us the job listing that is behaving like this so we can check it carefully? It would be very valuable for us. You can contact us at hello@talent.com.

Posting on behalf of my company! Frauds!

I’ve never used this site but came to find they are recruiting with my company details which I know nothing about. They have a job advertisement on behalf of SECURITY CENTRAL LTD. This is false as I’ve never posted with this company. Please ignore this post and Talent.com at all costs. Fraud!

Hello Dave, we are sorry for your departure. We'd like to let you know that the function of creating your profile or CV within Talent.com as an employee is currently under development. However, it is something we are working on so that it can help users in their job search. On the employer's side, our most successful feature is redirection, where we connect you directly to ads on the company's career site.

Misleading Salary Listings

uk.talent.com overstates the salaries of many UK jobs.
When I looked up the average wage of my own job with my employer on their site, the average salary listed was approximately double the salary my colleagues and I receive. This appears to be a recruitment scam and has the secondary effect of misleading the public to think that we are overpaid.

Hi Nicola, thank you for your comment. This will helps us to gather as much relevant information as we can to enhance this product for future updates.
The suggested salary shown on our website is the result of taking the average of all salaries on published job offers within a country or region related to the keywords. For example, if you are looking for the average salary of a designer job, we take the average of all designer jobs published with a salary and display it on our site.

Likewise, we would appreciate it if you shared with us the job and salary you mentioned, so we can analyze the situation and be able to provide a solution to this.

You can always reach out to us at hello@talent.com.

Much the same as other experiences, wouldn’t bother

Much the same as other experiences - jobs just don’t exist (must have a team beavering away in the background copy/pasting job adverts from other recruiters) - tired of emails, so unsubscribed - it’s funny when they post as job as “urgent” when weeks before have advertised the position “be the first to apply” “job closing soon” it’s all a scam to keep you hooked in - my opinion is go through reputable recruiters!
