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
This just shows jobs all over it ignoring location and what you are looking for. apparently a store colleague is an apprenticeship and Gateshead is Inverness. pointless just use Indeed
app and website both crashing continuously "well that wasn't supposed to happen" well guess what it happens non stop
Impossible to use. It asks me to log in, I enter my email, it sends an email with link. The link doesn't work. I enter my password instead. My password doesn't work. I reset my password. I log in with password. Great! I upload a profile pic, then go to edit more profile details & I'm logged out again. Try to log in AGAIN. It sends email with link. Link doesn't work. I enter my password instead & my NEW PASSWORD no longer works. I just keep getting "oops something went wrong". Uninstalled.
Daily emails keep repeating old jobs rather than just the new ones which is pointless. Also, the 'delete CV' function has gone and I cannot update my CV. Looking for a Contact option to report and resolve the problem, well none exists and FAQ's don't cover these flaws.
site is not as good as previously
very limited in regards to filtering and sorting, of I search for jobs in a certain area I don't want to see jobs 30+ miles away and there is no visible option to change this.
Probably the most frustrating job board app about. Filters and searches are limited so much in comparison to others.
filters dont work so its a nightmare trying to sort through
sends way too many notifications.. way too many. and also shows a lot of irrelevant jobs. you can find suitable jobs but indeed is way more user and click freindly.
