Hiring Dental Experience
September 20, 2019

I was able to locate a great candidate for healthcare administration, but did not get any interest from dental experienced candidates.

Hi, Laura. Thank you for your feedback. One suggestion that may help is to ensure you've encluded dental experience as a required qualification for a given role. For example, an applicant with experience and skills relating to Patient Coordinator positions may still apply for a position posted on iHireDental even if they have no direct dental experience unless the job ad itself mentions that as a requirement. I hope that's helpful! Thanks again for your review and for being an iHire customer!

My resume was according to the view properly formatted and used a proper font selection. The stand out is your site advised a summary of experience type of opening. This summary of skills has been marked obsolete, and according to the other site is not preferred even in the cover letter.

Such inconsistency in resume building advise leaves me conflicted as to whether the profession of Resume Writer and the advise provided by sites is to be trusted. This made all the worse when I have been searching for work for quite some time.

Thank you for your feedback, Stephan. IHire’s Resume Review tool provides a high-level analysis of your resume to ensure you are following best practices for modern resume writing. Although we cannot speak to the advice that you received from other resources, including a brief paragraph summarizing your key skills and qualifications at the top of the resume is very important, and we recommend labeling that section of the resume as “summary” or “career profile.”

Applicants completely unqualified
June 15, 2019

The ad we placed was clearly for a doctor of veterinary medicine, the resumes we got from iHire were from people with literally zero relevant experience or training. Not even any veterinary experience, much less a doctorate. One, who had an "iScore" of 51, was a hairstylist with a high school degree. Another with an iScore of 68 is a dog groomer. Obviously neither of these are qualified to work as a veterinarian so I don't understand how they would get scores above 10. It got to the point that I wasn't even checking the applicants as it was such a waste of time, and then, of course, I got a few resumes from actual doctors that I missed. One had an iScore of 52, so according to iHire the dog groomer was more qualified for this position than the licensed veterinarian. Very disappointing; will not use again.

Run away. Don't walk.
January 1, 2019

SCAM. Do not waste time or money on this "job service" website. Employers and potential employees both get charged. The whole premise does not work. No food service employee will pay to find an employer. So there are no candidates using the site! Also under NO circumstances give them credit card information. They retain it and auto renew your "subscription plan" without telling you. Then when you catch it and call them on it they say "our system" won't let us refund your money. Just wire cash to Nigeria if you want to get robbed!

Hi Craig. We would love to provide some clarification here. IHire offers job seekers two different levels of membership. We offer a free Basic membership with a lot of great features and benefits, including access to in-network jobs, our Resume Review tool, expert career advice, the option to make your resume searchable by employers, customizable job alert emails, and much more. We also offer a subscription-based Premium membership, which includes additional features and benefits to help you get hired faster including access to our patented time-saving resume tool we call iScore.

We have over 8.5 million candidates in our network and over 2 million visitors every month. Employers who post with us also get extra exposure automatically on our partner sites including many major general job boards.

We would love the opportunity to correct any issue you'ver had with iHire. I just sent you a private message through Sitejabber requesting some additional information so I can look into your experience further. If you'd prefer, you can also give us a call at (866) 238‑0161, Monday – Friday 8:30am‑5:30pm EST so we can look into this together. Thank you.

They SUCK BIG TIME
December 12, 2018

I consistently had problems logging in... the site included outdated jobs (WAY outdate)... never saw a listing that I had not already seen elsewhere. Then they billed me $75 to renew (don't know where they got that number because membership is only supposed to be 25-35). As soon as I saw the charge, I requested that the account (which I had not used since I found no value) was cancelled and the charge refunded. What did I get - a big NO. They said I paid and could enjoy the rest of the USELESS membership - they refused to refund. DO NOT USE - YOU WILL BE CHARGED HIGH UNAGREED TO AMOUNTS FOR AN EXTREMELY BAD SERVICE.

**UPDATE - While I did not find their service useful in my career search, they finally did reach out and agreed to refund the $75 "renewal" fee that they had charged and I had requested refunded. They made that right.

WACK
November 3, 2018

This site makes not sense what so ever. Why would I pay $1-$25 just review the job? The fact there are quite a few free sites made me cancel my membership. As soon as they said pay a dollar, I cancelled. There is no way. I have been using free sites since they were created and I am not about to start paying for them or any other site. In order for me to pay for a site like this, the job posting has to be up to date, a lot of jobs to choose from, and strong possibilities of employment. Ihire has none of this.

Hi Geri. We apologize about your negative experience with our site. IHire is a unique job search platform that offers tools to optimize your job search. We also offer an industry-specific focus that will save you time when sifting through job listings. Our Premium members are paying for much more than the ability to apply for jobs.

IScore, our patented technology will compare keywords in your resume directly to the required skills in a specific job posting and gives you valuable insight about which skills you might be missing in your resume. It’s a simple idea, but an amazing tool that will save you time and give you the best chances of getting the interview.

There are a lot of things you can do with a basic iHire membership. Give our Resume Review tool a try, and check out the tips and templates available in our Career Advice section. You can also apply to any of our in-network jobs as a Basic member. We appreciate all customer feedback and hope you’ll give us another chance in the future!
