Encountered "oops" and "something's wrong, that's all we know" Left me in the dark. What happened? "Promo code" what's that? Haven't I given enough money already?

Nice and straightforward. Appreciate all the features.
I wish I could view applicants without having to pay for a subscription. The free period would be helpful until you hire someone one time. It's really frustrating having to subscribe especially if you aren't 100% sure if this is what you want.
Hi Dorothy, We are a paid subscription service and not a free service. I'm sorry if you thought otherwise and therefore felt mislead. That was never our intention. Many sites like ours charge a fee in order to be able to offer you the features our site offers. Otherwise we'd just be like any other free classified site with very little to offer.
I have only started, but the website is clear and easy to use.
Hi Jon, We appreciate the great review, thanks! I will be sure to share your valued feedback with our product team.
I think it is pretty lousy that the first two screens AFTER i paid for a so-called 'premium' membership were to hit me up for MORE money and added options... what is the point of Premium membership if it doesn't include all the options... this is some kind of budget airline style tactic - sell you a plane ticket then tac on fees for options.

Very disappointed in all the upselling, instead of a better explanation of "premium membership before Hand. Other than that, easy navigation and what appears to be appropriate services in your data base.
Hi James, We appreciate your review. We'll be sure to share your feedback with our management team.
The web page doesn't give enough information about your services before you ask for money. I wasn't sure what I would be paying for and for how long.

All the up charges do not sit well with me, Especially since non of that is mentioned until after I subscribed. But I'll deal with it as it is. Well see how the rest of the platform works out.

Ease of access to the site and affordable options.
