Project Participant Feedback

I have participated in a number of projects that utilize my knowledge and expertise. Ivy Exec is well versed in the survey and selection process and rarely do I receive an invitation to participate in projects that are not pertinent to both the needs of their clients and in alignment with my skill sets.

Charging candidates for job applications

I think that charging candidates to apply for jobs is outrageous. No thanks.

I was extremely pleasantly surprised with my call with Anastazija.

She had reviewed and thought through how my resume should be improved, and gave a number of suggestions on how to proceed going forward.

Very pleased.

Platform OK, CV-Advice Bad

I'm sure there are plenty of good things about this platform, but take the 1-1 resume advice with a pinch of salt.

I was shocked by their blanket approach of giving everyone the advice of "black & white, old fashioned" (genuine repeated words throughout my session) - it is simply not good advice, and will mean that everyone who goes through this channel would wind up with the same undifferentiated CV - your first impression. That was a total put off.

Might be ok for legal paths etc, but there's more instances than not where a bit of a personal stamp on a CV is a very good idea.

Even when I challenged the advice saying I worked in design and marketing, that didn't seem to matter... crazy.

My sister doubled her salary landing a six-figure job the next week using my CV format and design that was apparently 'a bit too different'.

Dear MK, we apologize if your experience with our resume critique service wasn't satisfactory. There are some best practices out there that we advise all of our clients. However every resume critique call is customized to a specific person in a specific industry. Our most important advice goes on content, and even though we understand that the format for professionals working in design and marketing can be a bit more colorful and unique, we still believe that the content of your resume is more important. We take user feedback to heart and are disappointed that it was easier for you to write this review on Trustpilot than to contact us directly. It must mean that we were not as accessible to you as we'd like to be. We are continually looking to improve our services, so if there is any other feedback you'd like to share, please let me know. I can be reached directly at customer.support@ivyexec.com

Interesting mix of services, recruiting, and consulting

Interesting mix of services. I serve as an expert advisor. About 30% of the survey requests are relevant (very good, compared to similar services). Not as many consultative opportunities.

Very rude customer service.

Very rude customer service.

If you look carefully at review sites, they have a lot of decoy sites, even with the word "Scam" to trick Google, etc. into having them at the top.

The owner, Elena Bajic, has a reputation among the New York crowd as someone who never had Wall Street experience, yet is trying to make money from other's experience. From speaking to people who worked at her company, she is seen as a bully.

Dear Robert, many thanks for your feedback! It is much appreciated! Ivy Exec, as any other online platform that is available to a global audience, is a subject of review and everyone is free to leave a comment. There will always be customers that are not 100% satisfied with the service, especially when we talk about the platform that is as big and as comprehensive as ours, but it is on us to make it better with every day that goes by! Should you have any specific concern please reach out to us at customer.support@ivyexec.com and our team will be happy to address the issue. Look forward to speaking with you!
