Used to be a really really really good site. All jobs were legitimate and verified until indeed bought it and run it to the ground. Now cant find anything. Employers never respond and half the roles... See more

This is a scam

This is a scam. They reached out through WhatsApp which was already a red flag for me. They knew my field and appealed to it for a position that can be done anytime from anywhere. Make sure to block and report them immediately and don’t fall for it.

JOB SCAMS

So many job scams on here posing as legitimate jobs. I applied for around 15 jobs and had about 10 emails trying to get me on Signal Messenger so they can scam me. I didn't fall for it, but wanted to let others know as well.

Fake job listing for my company

Only leaving one star because I can’t leave 0. Just like other reviews listed here, Simply Hired (whoever they are) have poached information from my website and are using it to advertise a fake job listing.

Today I was just searching my company…

Today I was just searching my company name on Google (wisewelt) and I found this site using my details as job post.😳 i was shoked. I never heard site name, never visited, never registered then how can they use my all data without my knowledge. Then I tried to find any contact details on site but there is no any contact mail details nor any contact number. I don't know what kind of scam are they running. And where can I complaint about them?

SPAM company

Don't engage with them they are clearly a SPAM set up with a cover company to extract intel on you. They whatsapp me from a 'foreign' phone number considering they say they are a UK recruitment company. Blocked immediately without engaging with them.

Do not trust this site SCAM…

All the positions posted here are SCAMS. They want to do the interviews via a chatting platform and one of the first things they ask you is what type of banking you use. I have been interviewed many times and the type of bank I have has never been asked for or been an issue. I would not trust this site at all.

Agree with the previous post

Agree with the previous post. I was contacted yesterday. I have been retired for over 10 years apart from working as a vaccinator during the pandemic. Not sure how they found my details.

Uk data protec breach

These people have been sending my messages on WhatsApp without my permission. I've never interacted with them and cannot fathom where they got my details from. This is a breach of UK data protection law.

I just think the system is very…

I just think the system is very difficult to use. As I'm trying to review applicants, I'm just given initials of each applicant so I can't really remember which was good or not when I finish going through all the applications. I can put a star but that's really not enough. You can't even contact applicants without paying to reveal them even to thank them for applying or give some sort of update. Then the cost of 'revealing' an applicant is just random. It also randomly pauses your jobs every day due to inactivity - i don't even know what that means. There were applicants and I reviewed the applications. It's much better to get a spreadsheet on your computer with all the applicants or a printout. It's just annoying going through on the website.

Site no longer working

It used to be a decent site, (although a huge number of jobs listed as local were actually in Alaska) and many seemed like they might be scams. I had to soft through some sketchy offerings - and nothing was done when I alerted SH to this problem. Well now, every time I search it shows an error "Something went wrong" and it literally just shows a blank page.

The customer service team was great

The customer service team was great. I had difficulty with the website. I suggest that the system was too quick to deactivate my account due to a credit card issue. I should have been able to enter a new card even though the account was deactivated.

Employers beware

Employers beware! You will pay to reveal each application if so desired. SimplyHired has no way whatsoever to protect your company from the unemployment scammers out there still trying to milk the system since the epidemic days. Entry level applicants are filling out applications, simply hired is having you pay for the reveal and then applicants are ghosting. Huge drain on resources. Big waste of money and time. Applicants are requesting absurd amounts for entry level employment. Find an alternate, more reliable route. Simply Hired is a waste.

Garbage company

Garbage company. As a staffing company in healthcare...to be told "we have found your jobs to be unsuitable for SimplyHired" is outrageous and laughable. They make you jump through all of these hoops to verify your company is real and once you do, they send you a message like that. I never received any applicants that were even close to being a qualified candidate for the jobs I posted anyway so my advice is to look elsewhere.
