Friends please be aware of Shine (HT Media) paid services. I paid huge money to get premium job support but there is absolutely no support. They will sell you useless stupid courses on management which you dont need & ask to complete education & employment verifications, again useless paid services. So when you are jobless or activley looking for a change save your hard earned money.

There is no help complaining about their services, you wont get any additional interview calls. So you pay the fees in lakhs & they forget you. Now if you have time & energy to chase them good luck but to me finding job is more important than chasing some frauds. shine paid services are scam. You will get no benefit out of it.
STAY AWAY FROM SHINE !!!

I regret to say that I was one of the unfortunate people who trusted this platform and paid over ₹1.75 lakhs for their so-called premium services — only to receive zero job calls, zero interviews, and 100% scripted excuses.

After taking the money, their customer service transformed into absolute silence — like zombies trained to repeat one line: “You need to upgrade your package” — which is just a clever way to extract more money from desperate job seekers.

Each time I raised concerns, I was gaslighted with fake promises, irrelevant “courses,” and the same manipulative tactics. It’s clear now: their business model is not to get you a job — it’s to keep upselling empty services to squeeze every rupee possible.

And let’s not forget the CEO and leadership team — if building a scam that looks professional on the outside and empty on the inside was a skill, this company deserves a PhD in deception. They’ve mastered the art of looking legitimate while looting job seekers who trust them in good faith.

⚠️ Warning to others:
Do NOT fall for their polished website, fake guarantees, or endless follow-up calls promising high-salary jobs. Once they take your money, you’re just another number on their victim list.

💬 Final Thought:
Shine.com doesn’t just fail at helping people — it actively preys on those in need. This isn’t just bad service. It’s a well-executed fraud disguised as a job portal.

Fraud company making you pay for every step

IF there was a ZERO that suits rather Negative, one of his manager says to me when i questioned how do i believe the resume is posted/boosted to 3000 firms or companies and is my profile so poor that not a single company sends me a mail for screening or any other purpose, he says you build a portal then make it the second largest in India and get associated with Hindustan times and then ask this question. This is a Biggest scam and government should work on this to find and HINDUSTAN TIMES is also linked that makes more concern. if you people do not have money please Beg but do not scam the money we put is with faith not to get fooled. SHINE . COM is a SCAM

Not only its of no use - but they'll take your data forever and keep on spamming until you change your number . If you are looking for jobs - its better to use other portals like naukri , linkedin etc

I paid Rs.9500/- for services in March month of March 2025 but till date not a Singal call received for any opportunity also not received any mail on the same and this is pure cheating with me, before I received may call till for transferring payment, when I transferred money to Shine after that I never get any call. I think this is fraud company.

Scamming candidates showcasing a Big media name Hindustan Times.
Obnoxious behaviour, first they come up as good service provider with 3700rs then later on another guy will call u and start phishing by keep sending invoices for all the service. They won’t disclose their procedure, zero transparency, literally I lost 92k with this scammers, govt of India has to take appropriate actions against these scammers,

People are not transparent especially when it comes to payment. Everytime they send different link to make payment for different types of services. It's completely bogus. No diplomacy and politeness while talking to customer. However i made payment today and if i don't receive the services that they promised, will post the real picture of this company

I had an extremely disappointing experience with Shine.com. They initially offered services at a low cost, promising job assistance, resume shortlisting, and guaranteed interviews. After payment, I was immediately contacted again for more money under the guise of new services.

When I declined, the representative became rude and dismissive. The entire experience felt like a carefully structured sales trap, with zero genuine service delivery.

It’s shocking that such behavior is associated with the Hindustan Times group.

Verdict: Avoid Shine.com at all costs. Their tactics are misleading, their service is subpar, and their support is unprofessional.

Its a scam guys.....pls be aware......ur hard earned money will be wasted.....do not put ur money on such pathetic services..... I wasted almost a lakh

Very poor
Don’t invest any amount with this platform

The executives calling for purchasing their premium subscription are absolutely bogus and rude. They force to purchase their paid services and when denied they verbally abuse the customer.

DONT EVER TAKE THEIR PAID SERVICE

Cant give less than 1 star or else I would like to give -infinity.

worst ever service from any job portal I ever got. You guys took huge amount from me and did even got a single recruiter view ever since I took this service, not even one call.

Not even given issues were fixed. This shows there is nothing wrong with my profile its just your crap platform and money making business.

Such shameful work and platform you guys run with thieves sitting all over the place.

What a worst way to make money and not doing your work.

If I would take this much money from anyone I will ensure that even profile gets some views or connects with recruiters. I feel it's all a made up platform and you guys fool people around.

Shine.com totally fraud company they are highly trend professional to trap the people and cheat him hard earned money, first they demand 3600 INR then 5500 INR then 9300 INR. Never give transparency in first conversation. I request you all professionals & freshers not become foolish with Shine.com.
This is a revelation for all job seeker who want to register in shine.com for job search.
Indian Government should take action against such type platform to save unemployed or employed persons, who are facing these types of situations.
Always be cautious when dealing with such types of online platforms, especially regarding personal and financial information.

I am highly disappointed with the experience I had using Shine.com for job postings, especially considering the urgency of our hiring needs for positions in Cyprus and Bahrain.

Despite clearly informing the Shine team that our interviews were scheduled for 11th July, there was a complete lack of professionalism and urgency. I had to personally follow up around 1:30 PM just to confirm if the job post was even live. Shockingly, no one from the team cared to inform or update me via message or email. This is completely unacceptable behavior for a professional job platform.

To make matters worse, the results were abysmal — we received only one irrelevant application. The visibility, applicant quality, and overall engagement on the post were extremely poor. It clearly shows that there was no monitoring or performance check done from their end after the post went live.

This isn't the first time we've faced such issues with Shine.com. In fact, this seems to be a recurring pattern — lack of accountability, delayed actions, and copy-paste apology emails. It’s evident that there is no seriousness about client expectations, urgency, or service value.

Our time and money have been completely wasted. Shine.com needs to do much better if they expect long-standing clients like us to continue using their services. Right now, it feels like we’re paying for nothing.

Not recommended if you value your hiring timelines, brand image, or basic service quality.

Shine .com is No :1 Fraudsters and they are there only to loot Money & Cheating,
If I have option to rate in Negative, I will rate them as they have Wasted lot of Time & No Results.

This is an eye opener for all job seeker who want to register in shine.com for job search.
By god sake also don't Endorse with these Fraudsters

Mr.Mohanbabu

First time they taken payment of Rs. 3380 for getting premium service.
Second time they have taken payment of Rs. 4673 for educational verification.
Again they are demanding payment of Rs. 9556 for employment verification.
For the first time they only demanded payment of Rs.3380 for getting premium service.
Total I paid Rs.8053 in that they will only highlight my resume to the recruiters whom i will choose also one of their attached agency will verify my highest education which has no use.

This is an eye opener for all job seeker who want to register in shine.com for job search.

Indian Govt. must take some step to save unemployed persons, who are struggling and facing these type of situations.

After getting single payment they are also talking rudely because they know that now you are trapped and not in a situation to leave.
