Pay to Apply Trap: Uploads Your Info First, Then Demands Money

I was extremely disappointed to discover that IvyExec.com charges applicants a fee to apply for job opportunities—only after they've already submitted all their personal information. This practice feels deceptive and unethical on multiple levels, as it lures candidates in under the guise of legitimate openings advertised primarily on platforms like Monster.com. Additionally, the company engages in market research, raising serious questions: Are applicants truly being considered as candidates, or are they just another data source to be exploited for profit? I reported this to Monster, but received no meaningful response or action. Potential job seekers, beware—avoid this site to protect your time, privacy, and wallet.

Professionalism

I was invited to participate in a market research study by Ivy Exec. From the initial contact to the payment, including scheduling, the quality of the facilitator combined with the study's methodology, and finally, the payment process, everything flowed quickly, securely, and professionally. Therefore, I highly recommend Ivy Exec's work.

The process was well organized

The process was well organized, questions were thoughtful and relevant, and the conversation felt professional and respectful. I also appreciated the clear communication and the timely $200 compensation for my time and expertise. Overall it was a very positive and smooth experience, and I would be happy to participate again in the future.

Kudos to Ivy Exec for tackling some of the most important concerns facing philanthropy and the nonprofit sector. We are not running a business. The value proposition is vastly different and having Ivy Exec researchers and their clients ask the best questions and allow for thoughtful broad responses from focus group participants is the start. I recommend keeping advisors or enabling more connection to get the most bang from your buck.

Good but not fully accessible

Very efficient in setting up and renumeration but the online focus group wasn’t fully accessible. There were no closed captions or posting of questions in chat so you could read if you lip read or struggle in group discussions.
