I just wrapped up the Graphic Design

Dear Alan,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
At Kreativstorm, we strive to provide opportunities that empower individuals to enhance their skills and further their careers. Given the large number of applications we receive for job positions, not everyone can be offered a direct role. As an alternative, some applicants are given the opportunity to participate in our professional training programs. These courses are designed by industry experts and are aimed at enhancing the skillset of the participants, which can greatly improve their chances in the job market.
The fee associated with the course is used to maintain the high-quality educational content, resources, and tools that participants access throughout their learning journey. It's important to note that the invitation to enroll in a course does not signify a rejection from all job opportunities.
We understand that there may be skepticism surrounding this process, and we are committed to maintaining open lines of communication to address any concerns. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly.
Warm regards,
Kreativstorm
I had the same bad experience as the rest
I had the same experience as the rest, and came here to see if they were legit. This is pretty much a classic bait and switch scam, though 149€ is not an insane price, in fact it is almost too good. The one thing I noticed reading the reviews, is that all of the positive comments came from people who have only left 1 review on trustpilot = red flag of fake reviews

Dear Frank,
We appreciate you taking the time to voice your concerns, and we sincerely regret that you have felt disappointed by your experience with us. We want to reassure you and all our clients that we are committed to operating with the utmost transparency and integrity.
Your assertion that we are a 'bait and switch' operation is disheartening. We aim to offer value to our customers and job applicants, and any perception to the contrary is a cause for concern and warrants clarification. We may suggest our training programs to applicants who we feel might benefit from them; however, they are entirely optional and are not a prerequisite for securing a job with us.
We can understand that the cost of our training programs might appear 'too good to be true', given the quality and breadth of the content we deliver. However, our pricing is carefully calculated to ensure that we are providing excellent value while keeping the programs accessible.
In regards to the Trustpilot reviews, we truly value all feedback that comes our way, be it positive or negative. It helps us to continually improve and serve our customers better. Trustpilot implements rigorous measures to validate reviews and ensure their authenticity, and we support these measures. We encourage all our customers, both satisfied and dissatisfied, to share their experiences so we can learn and grow from them.
Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us, and we appreciate your vigilance. If you have any further concerns or need additional clarifications, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our team is always available to assist you.
Once again, thank you for your feedback, and we wish you all the best in your career journey.
Warm regards,
Kreativstorm
Offer paid training instead of a job.
I applied to an internship posting on LinkedIn from TalentKompass. Application was rejected and I was then offered a paid course from Kreativstorm.
I was tempted as I'm a little desperate to get my first software dev job. The material they emailed to me didn't seem that professional and the course content seemed very basic.
Having looked at their website, it also strikes me as pretty vague and lacking polish. The whole thing feels 'off' to me.
If you apply for a job and get offered a paid course with a vague promise of a potential job placement at the end, I think alarm bells should be ringing and you need to research the company.

Dear Gavan,
We appreciate your candid feedback and the time you took to share your concerns. We understand your reservations, and we want to address them accordingly.
First, we want to assure you that the intent behind recommending our training programs is to help candidates develop the skills they might need to enhance their career prospects. The recommendation is independent of the application outcome and is not a requirement for job consideration. We believe that these programs can be beneficial for some candidates, but we understand they may not be suitable for everyone.
Second, our apologies if our course material did not meet your expectations. We're always working on improving the content and delivery of our programs to ensure they provide the highest value possible to participants. Your feedback will be valuable in guiding our ongoing improvements.
Regarding our website, we acknowledge your concerns about its clarity and professionalism. We are in the process of making necessary enhancements to ensure that it accurately reflects our mission, values, and offerings in a clear and comprehensive manner.
Lastly, we want to reiterate that our training program does not guarantee a job placement. It is designed to enhance participants' skills and boost their job marketability. While we do facilitate connections and opportunities with various companies we cooperate with, including our own, the final hiring decisions rest with the respective employers.
We are committed to transparency and maintaining the highest ethical standards in our operations. We appreciate your feedback and assure you that we will take it into account as we continue to improve our services and practices.
Please feel free to contact us directly if you have any more questions or concerns.
Warm regards,
Kreativstorm

Trying to sell their courses in an inappropriate way
Rejecting people, than trying to sell their courses. I am more afraid because they have all my data from my CV.
The mentor does not have an online presence at all, not even LinkedIn and they provided only his first name.

Dear Irina,
Thank you for voicing your concerns. We appreciate the opportunity to understand your perspective better and clarify any misunderstandings that may have occurred.
Our aim in offering training programs is purely to provide additional learning and professional development opportunities for those who might be interested. They are by no means a requirement or a prerequisite for employment. If this was not conveyed clearly or if it appeared that we were insistent, we deeply regret the misunderstanding.
Regarding the privacy of your data, we understand your concerns and assure you that we treat all personal information with the strictest confidentiality. As per our privacy policy, your information is only used for the purpose of processing your application and is not shared with any third party.
On the topic of our mentors' online presence, we understand your concerns. However, we usually don't share our mentors' full names in our brochures because they have experienced an overwhelming number of queries from individuals who aren't enrolled in the program, which can be disruptive. This decision is made out of respect for their privacy and time. It does not, in any way, reflect on their professional capabilities or legitimacy.
Please be assured that we take your feedback seriously and will continue working to enhance our transparency and communication. If you have further questions or need additional clarification, don't hesitate to reach out. We are here to assist. Thank you once again for your valuable input.
Warm regards,
Kreativstorm

I had the same experience where they…
Disclaimer: I have edited my review to avoid lawsuits. This is my personal experience and I am in no way claiming to know how trustworthy or honest the company is.
I had the same experience as many of the other people where they rejected my application for a job and then a few days later sent the flyer promoting the 1-month training program. Since I was looking for my first job I was considering it but after a bit of research I realised that the company is really new and one of the products they sell is 'training programs'. I will definitely be more careful on doing a background check on companies I apply for. I am not claiming that they are 'targeting' people like me. I am just giving my honest review of what happened.
However, I do want to add some facts that did happen. After I posted the initial review, I was notified by trustpilot that the company needed my details to 'better understand my experience' and if I don't share it my review would be taken offline.
After sharing my details, I got an email from Kreativstorm giving me a Cease and Desist notice regarding the 'defamatory' review they say I had posted. I hope I have explained accurately and in detail my experience with them.

Dear Customer,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We deeply regret any miscommunication or misunderstanding that may have transpired, and we greatly appreciate this opportunity to provide clarity.
We assure you that our primary intent with job postings is to attract the most suitable candidates for our open positions, not to promote our training programs. Every application we receive is assessed on its individual merits, and decisions are made based on an applicant's fit for the role and the current needs of our organization.
As a company experiencing rapid growth, we receive a significant number of applications. This high volume might inadvertently create an impression that we are rejecting many candidates. We understand this could seem discouraging, but we want to emphasize that each application is valued and given due consideration.
If an applicant is not successful, we might occasionally suggest our training programs as an opportunity to develop certain skills or acquire new ones. This is a completely optional recommendation, separate from the initial job application process. Its intention is to offer a pathway for potential growth and professional development, not as a prerequisite or requirement for employment.
We deeply regret if any of our communications have given a different impression. We are earnestly committed to enhancing our communication clarity and transparency moving forward. Your feedback plays a crucial role in our continuous efforts to improve our processes for the benefit of all our applicants.
If you have any other concerns or need further clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out. We value your input and are always here to assist.

Be wary of job offers from Kreativstorm
Edit: I received a request for more information from Kreativstorm through Trustpilot to verify my experience with them, which is fair. However for fear of retaliation, I have sent verification proof directly to Trustpilot instead. This review is a reflection of my personal experience with Kreativstorm. I have viewed the response from Kreativstorm to my review, and while I understand their perspective, I still urge others to do research and make sure they understand exactly who they’re sending personal information (such as CVS) and money to. *end Edit.*
This company puts job postings on LinkedIn and Indeed, immediately rejects applicants then tries to get them to pay for a training program in the field they applied for (159€). They're receiving CVs with very personal details because people think they're applying for legitimate jobs. It's dishonest and unethical if this is actually only a way to get students for their training programs.
I did deeper search on the company. There isn't a lot of information. It's only on social media and forums where I've found many others with the exact same experience as me. I'm not saying to avoid this company, but do your research before sending even a CV, let alone cash.

Dear Lily,
Thank you so much for your valuable feedback. At Kreativstorm, we hold ourselves to a high standard of transparency, professionalism, and ethics in all our business interactions, and it's concerning to hear that your experience did not align with these principles.
We genuinely regret any miscommunication or misunderstanding that may have occurred during your application process. Our job postings are entirely authentic, designed to attract the most suitable candidates for our available positions. Every application we receive is evaluated individually, with selections made based on both the suitability of the candidate for the role and the needs of our organization at the time.
As a growing organization, we receive a high volume of applications, which, due to sheer scale, may create an impression that we are rejecting numerous candidates. We understand how this can be discouraging and want to assure you that every application is given due consideration.
We offer our training programs as an optional resource to unsuccessful candidates who wish to strengthen their skills or broaden their horizons. It's important to clarify that these are entirely optional and are not connected to the initial job application in any way. We deeply regret if this was not sufficiently communicated, and we are committed to enhancing our clarity of communication moving forward.
We also understand your concerns regarding privacy and data security. Rest assured, we hold these matters in the highest regard and take all necessary precautions to ensure personal data shared with us is kept confidential and secure, in compliance with GDPR regulations and our internal privacy policies.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and it allows us to reflect on our practices and identify areas of improvement. If you have any further queries, suggestions, or require clarification on anything, please don't hesitate to contact us at contact@kreativstorm.de.
Once again, thank you for your valuable insights. They significantly contribute to our ongoing efforts to improve and deliver better service to our clients and applicants.
