So I applied to be a writer and after taking the test I was denied for not getting enough points. After noticing several mistakes during the test, such as omitted words and poor grammar, I went to look up reviews and came across this site. It surprises me that I failed the English test to become a writer, but the HR of the writer's department that you currently have responding to these reviews would clearly fail the test herself. How on Earth did she get her position when others who have a better grasp of the English language were denied?
This is a writing site, an essay mill in other words that provides papers of various academic disciplines for those too lazy or unable to produce their own university work. That model is not the problem however, it is the morons that administer the site, they are uneducated, non-English literate morons, and this is an offense to your run of the mill moron. They have no idea what constitutes quality work and think that cover page and references go towards overall word count in APA 7 format. I cannot express my disdain and dissatisfaction with this site which, seems to align with the overarching sentiment as they hover above 2 stars in their cumulative review tally. A poor business model run by nitwits with zero academic acumen or even the ability to communicate beyond the canned messages provided for them in a scripted format. AVOID...
The best reviews on Sitejabber are typically detailed and informative, describing a personal experience with a website or business. You can talk about pros and cons, what you liked or disliked, and why you'd recommend it (or not). A good rule of thumb might be to ask yourself, "Would I find this review useful?" or "What do I wish I knew when I first found this business?"
Reviews can cover the services or products offered by a particular website, but can also contain feedback about the content of their site (if it's a news site or a site hosting funny videos, for example). Basically, you can review anything that has a website.
So, it has been a month on this platform and I have mixed feelings. Everything except the payment method(waiting 14 days for the payment to be released into your "Available Balance" and almost the same time to get it in your Payoneer)works fine when you are a "Beginner" or "Intermediate" writer. I have noticed that for some reason, as soon as I reached the "Advanced" rank after completing fifty orders, the number of orders I can bid on and the ratio of bids being accepted has drastically dropped. I was expecting the situation to be the opposite of this but I do not know how things work here since there is a lack of transparency on the inner workings. I emailed the support staff but I just got a generic copy-paste reply which would have made sense if I was not getting enough orders at the "Beginner" and "Intermediate" ranks. I do not want to follow the herd on this platform and jump to the conclusion that this is a worthless company, so far I've had a good overall experience but if this situation of not getting orders continues then I will have to write another honest review.
All my answers were correct and I am confident about that but they rejected my application. I asked for the test result but they cannot disclose it! I have experience of nearly 3 years in this field and this looks sketchy.
How we are work online? As a students how earn at online work thats why we leran that online work in
This is the most useless website with a reasonable number of cons including the so called writers' managers and billing department. They stole my money and they never paid me. May you continue fail with that foolish website of yours. None sense!
Hi, my name is syed imran haider. I had applied for writing job few days back and passed the online test and submitted an easy as per requirement. Which is part of test, today i received an email from recruitment team that your application is declined and we cant disclosed the reason the response was shocking for me you are getting the test from an applicant an telling him that we had declined your application but cant tell you the reason. Totaly non professional and biased attitude of the company. What I understand is that they are getting work from peoples and giving that work to new applicant as a test an then declining there application with no reason but with there test writing an essay article or any other work they are earning money. I strongly recommend the people who are applying on writing creek to please don't waste there time an energy. They are fraud people just getting work from there regular clients and giving that work to new applicant.
They are just earning money from new applicant work.
Result of application took a month to get a result. Then, another 1-2 weeks for verification. The hiring manager is very slow in replying. It would take a week or two unless you bombard them with emails. They will ask you for documents then selfies holding those documents, plus a verification call. If you were not able to answer it once, they will decline your application without giving another chance to answer the call. Efforts of passing the tests and sending them the required documents will become useless because of not being able to answer the "once in a lifetime call".
I hope you improve in responding to emails. Don't just collect documents from us then you will decline the application.
Dear Jennie K.
We thank you for your detailed explaining the situation. We are deeply sorry you had that unpleasant experience with our platform. Commentaries like yours help us to get better.
As for your problem, have you double-checked your calling list? Our HR manager always makes two calls to the candidate. After the first attempt, candidates receive a warning email. After the second time ignoring the call, a candidate would be declined.
If you are sure you have not received a warning email, please, specify your writer's ID number so that we can double-check the situation.
I applied to this platform on 5th July and cleared the tests in one go. The waiting period was extending beyond the initially expected line. At every stage, I chatted with their customer service. Unfortunately, received an email that I did not make it. I do hope to join them in the future for the simple reason that they have always been courteous and professional. Makes me wonder, if they are so good before joining them, how good the experience will be once a person joins them.
Dear Arthashastra!
We appreciate your time and efforts made to give us feedback, as it helps us to become a better platform for writers.
We have considered your complaint and will do our best to shorten the time of reviewing an application.
If you are seeking to have a long-term writing career, this isn't a suitable platform. They terminated my account, without any valid reason whatsoever. What was the essence of approving my account to work with them and then terminating it for invalid reasons? They are dream shutters and do not deserve writers.
Dear Teddy!
We are disturbed about this as much as you are.
Please specify your user ID so we could proceed with the investigation of your case at the shortest notice.

I worked for this company for 2 years. As other employees have written in the comments, this company is really opaque. First, the company doesn't have a phone number, and you can't call them as an employee. Secondly, I confirm that the photos and names of their colleagues are not real. Thirdly, I was also interviewed in Zoom, and the manager did not turn on the camera. Fourth, emails from them come from German IP addresses and are often flagged as spam in the mail due to the software they use to hide their location. They may be doing this to avoid paying taxes. Fourthly, I have worked in many companies and followed my colleagues in LinkedIn. Based on the feedback below, out of curiosity, I asked if any employees had a social network. But none of the employees are on social media. This proves that employee data has been spoofed because, in all global companies, you can easily find information about their employees on the website. For 20 years of work in different countries and companies, I have not met a single company that would hide social networks and the names of its employees—I have no doubt that the company is running a shadow business. Having learned these facts, I will quit this job. I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone even though they provide some work. You can easily become a victim of scammers.
We appreciate your feedback and your cooperation with the platform. Being an international company and running business worldwide we make sure we stay connected with our freelancers online. One can always reach us via chat or email. We keep professional communication on the platform and make sure each freelancer received fair payment on a regular basis. We are sorry you made a decision to leave the platform after trying to get connected with support representatives on social media.
Thank you for your cooperation. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
Online chat operators constantly change face photos using them from the Internet, letters to my mail come from IPs from different countries, the company is clearly engaged in fraudulent activities.
Dear Markus P.
Thank you for your feedback. The statement sounds disturbing. However, we did not manage to locate your account on our platform. We would appreciate more details on this matter to look into the problem immediately. We certainly track any fraudulent activity on the platform and try to prevent cases that might impact our reputation.
Don't ever rely on this website. I am using other website like writerbay and sweetstudy but this website is worst. Have done 46 orders with 5 stars with no fines. They restrict my account on 13 march and reply me on 12th april stating that i have done any suspicious activity. They said that my account is used from different Ip from different countries but the account is sorely used by me. Totally disappointed. Waste my effort of 1 month and lose my account without doing anything wrong. Don't rely on them if you looking for a long term work. They will restrict your account with no valid proof.
Dear Dr G.
We are sorry that you find the platform and its actions disappointing. Unfortunately, the activity of your account contradicted the terms of use the applicant agrees with when applying for a freelance job. Nevertheless, we appreciate cooperating with freelancers whom we can trust, and your review reveals the apparent reason why we had no choice but to terminate our cooperation.
On our side, we have cleared the hard-earned balance and wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
Non-native writers stay away from this site. It is a big scam. These people will never let you grow because they're a group of racist people who will terminate your account without any reason. First, they will restrict you to orders without any reason then they will terminate it. They try their best to give you policies, which they don't follow. They did it with me. I will share some proofs here so you can publically see it. I know, they will delete it but I will continue doing it. I support all the writers who have shared their experiences here.
PS: They have written on their site that as per their policy an account for suspicious activity will be blocked for two months, which is a big lie. Check the SS for both emails and you will know that they're a big scam.
A group of professionals who provide the customers with tailored solutions to their needs. Friendly support available throughout the process. I love it.
Dear Laban K.!
We are thrilled that you have had such a great experience with WritingCreek and shared it with us. We really appreciate it.

Dear ayesha g.
We appreciate that you are taking the time to leave your opinion about our service!
THIS WEBSITE IS A 100% GENUINE PLATFORM FOR WRITERS. THE SUPPORT TEAM IS EXTRA HELPFUL AND SUPPORTIVE. ORDERS ARE ALSO EASY TO GET. JOINING THIS WEBSITE WAS THE BEST DECISION I MADE IN MY LIFE!
Dear Aysha!
We cannot tell you how happy we are to read such words. We appreciate you have found time to leave your review about us.
Embarking on the journey as a freelancer can be quite hectic. I have experienced the confusion and the distrust first-hand while registering at random places on the Internet. Writingcreek came as a godsend. I have been here for three months now, and the organizational culture is just sublime. A transparent system of bidding, the mentoring program, a remarkable support team, and timely payouts have been highlights of my time here. The company recognizes competence and there is an immense scope for growth. The only negative for me was the vague flow of orders. However, I believe it has something to do with the writer's level in the company. All in all, if you are a talented individual willing to freelance, Writingcreek is where you should be.
For me writing on writingcreek has been great. There are a lot of customers for whom you can write and earn.
Answer: They are scammers. This company owns some illegal websites: Edusson and Writingcreek. They have cheated hundred of people already

We have double-checked your test results. Unfortunately, you have never reached the minimum score.
