Upward Reviews

Claim

Scam website with no way to unsubscribe

There s no way unsubscribe despite them including a link to do so it just takes you to a broken page Same thing on their actual website

No idea what they are trying to do

I m not sure what this site is aiming for Mining for personal information It looks legit but several job applications that I made on this site clearly were not real applications After contacting the company I supposedly applied for they had no record of this There is no way this is legal They must skim through legitimate websites with real job posts and copies data This is of course on top of a rather ridiculous spamming of text messages and emails They did however make it easy to stop that but it seems very crappy to by default send you several emails AND text messages every day Edit This company has tried contacting me to make me change this review I WILL NOT I am still furious that multiple job applications I made were not actually sent to the companies I applied for THIS IS ILLEGAL

Horrible

I don t know anything about this being a scam company but I will say their interface is the worst I have ever seen It doesn t surprise me at all to find out that others have reported it as a scam Don t waste your time here and try ziprecruiter or indeed

Possibly Fake Job Alerts

I deleted my ZipRecruiter account out of suspicion that Upward net blends in and re-publishes ZipRecruiter jobs Since cancelling I have received a few more ZipRecruiter job alerts which might have been a mimic to lead me to a fake application and steal the sensitive information which goes on a real job application That may or may not have been the case As a precaution I did not click anything whatsoever in those job alerts

Cybercoders Upward net and Jobcase all untrustworthy

Same experience as others I didn t suspect it as the initial link was on LinkedIn but they need to do a better job of protecting the public from such fraudulent sites Not sure how to stop the spam messages that are clickbait

Total scam

Total scam Every job they email me about or they have listed is just clickbait forwarded to a paid survey site called Remotejobsnearme com run by Galaxy Line LLC The infamous app company who has numerous complaints to the BBB by people reporting they were scammed in one way or another

Waste of time

I somehow inadvertently signed up with Upward in my job search and then received daily emails from random unnamed job agents Most of the postings I was sent were only marginally within the criteria I was looking for The really frustrating thing is they would say something like There s a new posting for Senior Designer with Such-And-Such company in San Francisco click the link to see the job and then the link would bring me to the application rather than the job description I m not going to just blind-apply to a job without knowing what I m getting into It s just silly that they haven t thought this out Avoid Upward however possible

I Received Email Which Aroused My Suspicion

I just received an email and the email address listed was broken I did a Reverse Lookup after adding com I also added net There was no name address or ownership information available I think what they really wanted was for me to click the broken email address I think doing so would have directed me to a scammer who would start with my resume and use it as a springboard to proceed with Phishing for the sensitive information which has to be included on a real job application BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL ALWAYS

This is a scam company

This is a scam company They trick you into creating a profile on their system When you see their window pop up disregard the job and move on If they do trick you into giving them your info go in and edit the record make it private Unfortunately they do not give you the option of deleting your info from the system so you need to change it unless you are comfortable letting these bait and switch scammers having your information and using it to market their services

Ligit or not I would not support them

Ligit or not I would not support them I got a pop-up as if it related to a job I was interested in from another site I put in my email and name before I realized it was unrelated Over the next few days I got job suggestions not even remotely related to me Even when I went to their website to check them out I felt I was wasting my time I won t spend any more time on this legitimate or not
