I am extremely disappointed with my experience with Shine.com. I strongly advise others to be cautious before purchasing any of their paid services.
I initially purchased their premium package for ₹3,300 with the expectation of receiving genuine job assistance. However, after making the payment, I started receiving continuous calls and emails urging me to purchase additional services. I was further asked to pay ₹5,100, then ₹8,100, and later ₹12,000. This pattern of repeated payment requests felt highly unprofessional and misleading.
Despite investing my hard-earned money, I did not receive satisfactory services or the promised results. What is even more frustrating is that when I requested a refund, my request was denied. The persistent pressure to make additional payments and the refusal to process a refund have left me feeling cheated and harassed.
This experience appears deceptive and raises serious concerns about the company's practices. I urge job seekers to exercise caution and thoroughly verify all claims before making any payments.
I request Shine.com to:
* Stop the continuous calls and emails demanding additional payments.
* Process my refund at the earliest.
* Improve transparency and customer support.
Until my issue is resolved, I cannot recommend Shine.com to anyone. My experience has been extremely disappointing and distressing.

I had a really bad experience from this portal. They charges high money even they don't provide any service. I have paid the resignation amount after that they asked me for additional charges I asked them it includes everything which you are offering they said Yes no additional charges will be taking I have paid that amount just below that Bill they have attached one more additional charges which was not told by the service provider. When I questioned them it was not informed they started behaving like they have informed me. This is complete fraud site. Having a worst experience.
Need a justice.

I had a very bad experience through Shine.com. I was contacted by individuals claiming to offer a job opportunity and was asked to pay money as part of the recruitment process. Trusting the platform, I proceeded, but later realized it was a scam.
I have already filed complaints with the Police and Cyber Crime Department regarding this issue.
I strongly request Shine.com to:
Verify recruiters more strictly
Take action against fraudulent accounts
Protect job seekers from scams
I had a very disappointing experience…
I had a very disappointing experience with Shine.com’s paid services. I was initially contacted for a small package, but during the calls, multiple additional services were pushed one by one without clearly disclosing the total cost upfront. Under pressure, I ended up paying a significant amount. Within a few hours, I realized I had been misled and immediately requested cancellation, but my refund was denied despite not using any services. The entire process felt highly misleading and non-transparent. I would strongly advise others to be cautious before opting for their premium services.

This is a fraud site
This is a fraud site and don't pay a single rupee to them.
There are only running the business by duping jobseekers of their hard earned money.
Leave aside job guarantee they don't even have a service of job search, user profile, resume writer, etc.
Don't fall into their trap and loose your money.

Consultants are Unprofessional
Their consultants are very unprofessional. They called me to sell their package, even though I never requested it. Secondly, their consultant kept calling me repeatedly. When I finally picked up the call and tried to explain that I already have a subscription with another company, he responded with an attitude and said, “Then why are you not getting a job?”
Is this your level of professionalism? Is this how you respond to potential customers? This is very disappointing. That so-called consultant should learn basic manners and how to speak respectfully with people.

Pathetic service
Pathetic service, extremely manipulative, forces you to pay for their apparently “premium” services . They scam you into giving them their money by luring you for high paying jobs. How is this even legal , still remains a mystery .
Shine.com paid service is a SCAM
Shine.com looks like job portal but it's more into scams who steal amount from job seekers. When you register with them, you get job recommendations
that are no way relevant to you, they are that great. And they keep sending emails to go for premium services promising things will change in just 10 days
after the enrollment but nothing happens.
They have a good sales team who show you stars during the call. They don't take your consent on whether you're interested for a particular service / course,
they only decide what you need and they'll never discuss on fees related stuff until you go through all this. Then the drama starts on amount, # of services.
They start with 3k mentioning it's valid for 1 year. The fees is hidden, # of payments to make are not disclosed up front, How much amount to pay is also not
disclosed. when you start with 3k, you end up paying lakhs of money. When you say you're not ready or don't need a particular service or don't have funds,
their team is like whatever we invest will come back in just 10 days promising all wonders. You'll only regret after paying that much money because they don't
fulfill anything. Their promises are fake. They just focus on taking amount from you, nothing else.
I strongly recommend people don't even thing of going for Shine.com paid services. They are the WORST who promise stars and deliver nothing.
