While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Waste of time

I registered with them, did the basic tests, applied for a role, not heard back from them until a week later when I called to chase up, was told I wasn’t accepted. Not heard from them at all until a month after where they emailed me saying they have “a large volume of fantastic apprenticeships and permanent opportunities available” and whether I’m still available… seems like a bunch of time wasters to be honest, I’d avoid dealing with them and try many other services out there like this one
