This organization is a scam. If you click on a posting that looks interesting, it immediately takes you to a different job posting, asking you for your email address and never returning you to the posting of interest. Bad organization. Why isn't there a legal intervention?

This site is a scam, looking to fill your inbox with advertisements not jobs. And once you ask to unsunscribe, they claim it takes 10 days to process (which we all know can and should be automatic) just so they can keep getting their commission from their "partners."

One example of a "job" I keep getting emailed about is for me to apply to go to a criminal justice certification program - think ITT tech - as in pay and go as a student, despite that I am a licensed attorney that was originally seeking jobs for my qualifications (in other words, I am 2 degrees past this type of program and more importantly- it isn't a job!

I thought I was applying for a job directly but found myself added to this very sketchy site. Immediately started receiving emails and text messages. There is no way to remove yourself from the website, so I disabled viewing my profile and took out my real email and phone number. The emails from their so-called hiring specialists look fake. I've contacted their support email and demanded they remove my profile immediately. We'll see how that goes.

every "job posting" leads to an unrelated data mining site.

I started looking for a job recently and made the unwise decision to register for this site at some point. Why this site didn't raise any red flags for me, I don't know. Regardless, I've gotten no use out of it whatsoever. The "job alerts" come from bots using stock images in a lame attempt to make them seem like real people. If you try to contact them with questions, you won't get a response.

Their alerts do contain legitimate job openings... sometimes. But if I tried to open a listing from an alert, sometimes I'd just get flung over to a general job listings page. In multiple instances, I ended up having better luck Googling the company name and position to actually find it. And even if you do find a legitimate listing, trying to apply from there often results in getting sent to LinkedIn or Indeed. I used a temporary, disposable e-mail alias and phone number so at least they don't have my real contact info. This lousy site has no way to delete an account that I can find, either. I just removed all my information, marked my profile private, and disabled all job alerts.

Total scam they basically mine employer job boards and repost or something nothing but a phishing scam

This platform is a scam. The emails I received have a picture of the “hiring specialist” of which I did a reverse search on and I found out that it was literally a shutterstock image. I began getting multiple emails for jobs that had nothing to do with my experience. I also began getting emails and calls from people from FAKE companies, who even had a fake name to contact me about an “in person” interview. I received a call from a person whose caller ID was totally different than what was listed in the emails I got from the same company (DFW Brands was the company that they were associated with. Most likely a scam). The fact that these fake companies and stuff had access to my email, phone number, and other personal information sketched me out. You’re better off and safer on indeed or zip recruiter especially if you want to actually get job offers that are relative to your experience and not be blasted with spam emails.

Constant e-mails. Different names. Companies that are a really, really bad match. It is basically a phish.

I don't know anything about this being a scam company, but I will say their interface is the worst I have ever seen. It doesn't surprise me at all to find out that others have reported it as a scam. Don't waste your time here, and try ziprecruiter or indeed.

Every day I get emails from "Ella Dawson" whom I suspect is using fake pictures of herself.

She is advertising a plethora of jobs, for which I am rarely qualified. I don't really trust these opportunities but I can't say they are a complete scam because I've never been foolish enough to work with them.

This is a scam company. They trick you into creating a profile on their system. When you see their window pop up disregard the job and move on. If they do trick you into giving them your info, go in and edit the record, make it private. Unfortunately they do not give you the option of deleting your info from the system, so you need to change it, unless you are comfortable letting these bait and switch scammers having your information and using it to market their services.

phishing at its finest..... asking to use first/last name as sign in and social as password.. UMMMM NOOOO

I'm not sure what this site is aiming for. Mining for personal information? It looks legit, but several job "applications" that I made on this site clearly were not real applications. After contacting the company I supposedly applied for, they had no record of this. There is no way this is legal. They must skim through legitimate websites with real job posts and copies data.

This is of course on top of a rather ridiculous spamming of text messages and emails. They did however make it easy to stop that, but it seems very crappy to by default send you several emails AND text messages every day.

Edit: This company has tried contacting me to make me change this review. I WILL NOT. I am still furious that multiple job applications I made were not actually sent to the companies I applied for. THIS IS ILLEGAL.

We enjoyed the event :)

Although, I realized after the boat dinner that we didn’t get the Champagne Bottle that was included in the pricing during our dinner.

I am grateful for the DOR department, my work specialist and my Counselor have been great, but with the new changes Sacramento is doing its going to put more pressure on the Counselors, and will not meet the consumer's demand, as a consumer I have been blessed with my Counselor, however, I heard some consumers are not so luck , and their counselors are not meeting the consumers request. at a timelly matter.
