SPAM!!!! 10 unwanted emails at least daily, most totally unrelated to my experience and the best part is? You cannot turn them off, no option for it!
A garbage experience, the worst of the job boards and the app reflects their minimal efforts in its abysmal user experience.
horrendous app - impossible to log in or change your password etc. endless cycles of logins and emails with links. do yourself a favour and just use the website. unfortunately, there are the odd odd jobs on here which aren't on Indeed etc, so you kind of need to go through all the pain 🙄
I have applied for countless opportunities, and never had even a rejection email from company and later on I found out that all those job posting were only available on this app and I'm pretty much sure all those were fake posting now I'm afraid that I've shared my all data on tonnes of posting i have no accounts of
IT DOESN'T KNOW WHERE OXFORD IS,I ASK FOR KITCHEN PORTER JOB IN OXFORD IT TELLS ME THE NEAREST ONE IS HENLEY ON THAMES.THATS 30 TO 40 MILES AWAY I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THERE ARE NO KITCHEN PORTERS JOBS IN OXFORD.
asked for a reset link that doesn't even work - useless
don't force me through setup when I've already done it on the website...
Links are constantly broken, apply for the same role 6 times and the app fails to send it. Log in & find the recruiter, it's less hassle
AI feature is terrible, appatently I'm no fit for job I did for 15 years. This is nice to hear. Is there a way to turn this rubbish off?
very bad
useless
Not reliable and doesnt follow your personal settings.
what is this poor fit good fit all about is this job site Into discrimination now is it as I can do the job realistically
always giving unuseful jobs notifications
Garbage app that recycles unavailable job postings. 90% of the ones on my feed say they're "unavailable" and I can't apply to them. So then why does it show up on my feed then? Why is it so hard for developers to get the absolute basics right?
I can't login because both the app and website have removed the "Sign in with Google" feature. Please bring it back
Functionally broken, persistent email spam
Wants me to create a profile to continue, despite already having one so deleted as pointless duplication - the website & app should be linked
Doesn't delete expired jobs. Doesn't have any understanding of geography. As an example Dorset is a lot more than five miles from Glasgow city centre. It's beyond frustrating. Doesn't allow refusal of unwanted cookies.
Very poor quality on the search results, constantly have to wade through irrelevant job postings to try pick out the ones that are applicable. Recieved an email saying a potential employer liked the look of my CV and invited me to apply for the position, clicked the link and rather than take me to the app it took me to the website and then wouldn't let me log in. Absolute joke, stick to indeed and CV library as there apps weren't developed by the local day care centre.
really disappointed. they have lots of jobs on there, asked for my location I said jobs no further than 5 miles away, I live in the South east they sent me jobs for Norfolk,manchester and Scotland?!?!? wouldn't let me do any basic searches
Can't find how to change the job search radius.
Don't bother to install this, It's rubbish. It's just a data mining app. Job searches show zero relivance to what you are looking for. The search results are outrageous, living in Devon and show jobs in Scotland and Wales, it is ridiculous.
Sends irrelevant emails all the time, despite having strict alerts. It will gladly show me a job the other side of the country or better yet, a job that I've never suggested I want to look at. Oh, and dont worry there's no relevant skills to transfer to this alien role. Poor app, poor filters.
always getting error when I click any job link
co start emails may as well be spam, terrible avoid
I am retired I do not need an idiotic jobs app!!!
has to be one of the worst apps ever designed the search and order/filter function doesn't work , shows jobs from months ago and a few weeks all mixed randomly...
upload CV not Working. this app is only waste of time
tard box.app. can't create search due to not allowing notifications!?. you can't host like most job search apps it's ridiculous these days, fort nox style clutter!! sort it out. nothing change. the job search is shat. can't generally job search?
rubbish app,
asks you to log in after I've logged in and doesn't recognise the login details. pointless app
you set your filters for jobs and they dont apply. I'm getting jobs at the top of the list that are miles away. set it as direct employer and agency jobs flood the page, set it to show jobs within the last 3 days and jobs from over a month ago come up. absolutely pathetic
All the jobs are always showing as Unavailable. Some time it shows Available but most of the time it is in disabled state. It looks like the service remains bugged. Worst app
Totaljobs is a poor site in my opinion
doesn't work
experience very bad no jobs waste time
Jobs show up on alerts and then won't open!
won't you replace cv for some reason
"we have 550 new jobs" clicks notification "there's nothing available" fix your stupid push notifications they're broke.
unable to apply for the posted jobs keeps saying unavailable
profile details is glitched
app is not allowed to apply job roles always a message "something went wrong, try later".
your app crashed on me and now it won't let me log in
not a easy app to use i cannot upload a simple CV the job search itself is confusing to say the least does not allow you to change search criteria on the whole not happy with this app will be sticking with indeed
has just stopped working, was taking an age to open up and no jobs visible, I have uninstalled and reinstalled and now cannot log in at all
not many jobs in my location I can apply for
This app is now completely broken over the last couple of weeks, with constant crashes and met with numerous errors..
Glitchy, won't load, one time link broken, not accepting password. Who are your developers? sort it out... this is people's lives you're messing with. People depend on these apps for their careers and hope!
you'll get notified daily that there's 200+ roles for job role xyz in your specified area.... click the notification and it says 0 :) fab thanks
