I just had a inquiry call with the person in charge of the site and it all seems to good to be true. 1,000$ and they handle the workload to get you a job offer you like. They apply to 30-50 jobs a day on your behalf until you have a job. They also mentor your through the entire process. I can’t find any reviews of comments about the site other than from their own site. Thoughts?

Edit: thank you everyone for your insights and advice, I appreciate it.

      Anyone asking for that kinda cash to get a job is a scam. But never even knew that was a thing how sad. Giving part of your salary to a requirement office.

      I used temp agencies and other employment type companies None cost me a dime. The employer paid them.

      I’m not sure it’s ever legit for the job-hunter to be paying the recruiters. It would normally be the employer.

      A % commission doesn’t give that much incentive to find you the very best job as opposed to the first one that will do. You’re paying them a percentage but they’re looking at the return per hour of work they put in. You’ll come under a lot of pressure to accept the first job on offer simply because that job gives them the best return even if it is a smaller cash amount than the best job they could possibly find (if they put the time in).

      Their incentives do not align well with your incentives. So best avoided, IMO.
