I'm not sure my application went through

I'm not sure my application went through. Too many steps and I'm not sure there aren't bots just collecting info.

Hey John,

I've dropped you an email to see if I can help with this.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

No jobs for me

It sounds like a good concept but realistically I just get sent around 1 job a month, and it’s always completely inappropriate for me - over 2 hours commute and low pay. Quite a bit of effort to set up the profile and no opportunities from it after 5 months. If you don’t immediately log on to decline one of the jobs you’ve been sent, then they text, call and email you non stop until you do.

Hi Toby,

I can't find an account in your name in order to investigate the specifics, but I'm sorry to hear we haven't lived up to expectations.

With regards to the salary element, this shouldn't be possible, you're matched based on the salary expectation you set on platform, it's not possible to be matched to roles paying less than the level you set.

With the 2 hour commute this is definitely feedback we're working on, we calculate things based on distance currently and we recognise particularly within a big city this can lead to some fairly sizeable commute times, it's something we're looking into improving at present.

With regard to notifications, you can manage these within your account settings.

Save time and frustration with hackajob!

hackajob uses AI effectively to analyze available positions and sends me notifications for the ones I am a great fit for. This saves me so much time and frustration from doom-scrolling through endless job descriptions. I highly recommend using this service!

Very little actual direct contact from the hiring company

I have 5 applications or interviews waiting on a company response for as much as 7 months. Hackajob should make it mandatory for the hiring firm to provide feedback to an interview or application within a certain time frame.

Hey Tim,

I'm sorry to hear we haven't lived up to expectations here, we work with companies using the platform to try and ensure they provide the best level of candidate experience possible.

I've reached out for more details as I'd love to schedule a feedback call to better understand your experience to see how we can improve for the future.

Thanks,

Not good

When I was asked to apply for a job, it was repeatedly asking me to sign up. I had already signed up like then, what is the purpose if I am clicking on a job? Why is it sending me to a signup page and even when I sign in manually like there is sign and missing on the page, so

Hey Shashank,

Thanks for your feedback, I've taken a look and can see the issue immediately.

On hackajob, companies reach out to you vs you reaching out to them, they can only reach out if you're a match, to avoid wasted time for either yourself or the company.

Your only desired job title is Product Manager - 0-1 years, meaning you'd only match to Product Manager roles for candidates with 0-1 years of experience, given the majority of your experience is as a Software Engineer and your salary expectations are higher than would be expected for an entry level Product Manager role, this combo isn't going to produce any matches.

I've reached out with some suggestions to resolve this.

Thanks,
Phil
