The service is so so. And the application flow isn't as simple.

This is clearly a scam. Waste of time. Don't even bother to apply for jobs with duckf@ck

I applied as a friend referred me. I did the online application, submitted all the documents and a few days later received an email that they wish not to continue. I was not given a reason, which I found to be unprofessional. If I knew what the issue was, I could know if it's negotiable or what. I am in my 50's with lots of experience. Now I am not sure if it is my experience, my age or my rate that is the reason for the decline. I found the whole process very impersonal as I never spoke to anyone. Other agencies do interviews, speak to you, explain where they can and cannot help and what is available. Speak to Exclusively Remote, they are AMAZING!!!

I worked from November 2021 to April 2022. A very short period and I gotta say that the process to get accepted and paid took VERY long. I was desperate since it took me one year to find a job after a pandemic and about two weeks since signing my VERY suspicious contract with Job Duck to actually start working. So yeah, they send you a lot of tests, and then they place you with an American company. For me, the salary was great; you get paid so much less in Mexico for this kind of position (about 500 us dollars monthly, in Job Duck, it was 500 biweekly). Anyway, they constantly evaluate you and talk with your boss (or client, that's what they call them at Job Duck). I passed my three month trial period, and I was getting great feedback from the clients, which is why, by the fourth month, when they fired me, it surprised me a lot. I learned that the contract only protects them, not you. I learned that they don't protect you from their mean clients; they protect themselves and their "reputation." They can fire you whenever they want to and for any reason they can find. It feels humiliating how they do it. Basically, one Monday, I had a call with Job Duck, and they told me my performance was great, and the clients were delighted with me. Later that Friday, Job Duck called me and said that I shouldn't bother to go to work, the clients didn't want to work with me anymore (the clients basically ghosted me, never even bothered to tell me why I was fired or give me a heads up). Oh! Not to mention during my period with the clients, I saw 3 assistants from Job Duck come and go (very sus and a giant red flag from the client and Job Duck). Also, I've had exchanges with people who worked at Job Duck and were fired the same way. So yeah... if you're from Latin America, you have great perks: 10 vacation days, a high salary, and you get to improve your English skills. But for the humiliating way they fired me and how my mental health and work confidence was affected, I would NEVER reapply. As a virtual assistant, I can tell you it's better to do it independently than to work for these types of companies.

Great company. I learn a lot and they found me a perfect job!

demeaning company, makes you almost literally beg for the job

It's not a scam but no worth it to apply If you are searching jobs at Linkedin or other platform, don't waste time in this company. There's another review that explains it better but in my personal experience... The application process takes way too much time, from the time you send your first application to actually start making money it could be up to 2 months or more. The interviews, questions, questionnaries take unnecessary amount of time. Asking no relevant questions and most of them really personal. Also they won't tell you almost nothing about the position or your work team. And all of the positve reviews here are bots, don't trust them haha

It's a good place to work. Excellent work environment, great people, and competitive salary.
