Hello all,
There's good guidance in the career tools casts about using recruiters carefully. I am mindful of that when I keep running into ads for a recruiter service called jobleads.com on LinkedIn.
Does anyone have any experience with this company?
There could be great upside as they promote:
- More oppornities since they claim to have a network of oppornities that are not published on job boards.
My concerns would be:
- Being precluded from applying to places because a recruiter has already been involved and it may not work out to my benefit.
- Being treated like a product and loosing control of some aspects of my job search in ways I can't forsee
Looking forward to read any experiences others can share.
Best regards!
Awfully quiet.
I'm guessing fom the lack of response that this newer recruitment company that I am seeing advertised on LinkedIn has not been used by other MT forum members yet.
Here's to hoping someone reports on an experience with them in the future.
jobleads.com- Terrible Service – Avoid at All Costs!
I deeply regret signing up for this service. They offer a trial period, but if you forget to cancel, they automatically charge €69.90 without any prior approval. The moment I saw the charge, I tried to cancel, but their customer service is a joke—it feels like talking to a chatbot, and speaking to a real person is impossible.
The service itself is completely useless. It provides no valuable career insights and instead floods you with generic, AI-generated texts that are redundant, obvious, and a complete waste of time and money.
Now, they claim my payment is "not eligible for a refund," which is a clear violation of consumer rights. I don't want to use this useless platform ever again, yet I can’t even delete my account!
Save yourself the frustration—stay away from this scam.

Absolute scam
Experience exactly the same as Rayana's I'm afraid.
£59.00 out of pocket.
Terrible
The CV review was helpful, but nothing that I couldn't get elsewhere for a lot cheaper. However, the jobs database was useless, every job I bookmarked to apply to had expired, one at least 6 months ago! The "headhunter" recommendations are also useless, the ones I was sent were based miles away and didn't do business anywhere near my location, and they were supposed to be 97% matches (although I have no idea how this was calculated or against what criteria given the location failure). I forgot to cancel before the trial period was up so got stung with the £59 charge for a further 28 days. The cost is a disgusting amount for what you get, but I didn't even bother trying to get it refunded because I knew it would lead to more frustration!
