Job DuckReviews of jobduck.com

Job duck is a scam especially in South Africa. I went through the whole process but I have been stuck on the matching stage where they keep promising new clients but nothing. It went from them communicating with me once a week to nothing at all I have sent several emails asking for an update but nothing.

Very Disappointing Experience I had! I recently had a disappointing experience with Job Duck's hiring process. Despite completing all requirements, including an interview and follow-ups, my application was halted due to WiFi issues. Initially, I informed Fernanda about my plans to upgrade my WiFi package upon starting work. She acknowledged this. However, when I ran the WiFi test, it failed (as expected, since I hadn't upgraded yet). Job Duck then gave me a 5-day ultimatum to upgrade, without considering the additional expense or the uncertainty of the job offer. I took proactive steps, contacting my service provider and selecting a suitable package based on Job Duck's specifications. On Monday midnight, I received an email stating that my application was declined, despite upgrading my WiFi package as requested. I had invested in the upgrade, relying on the assumption that meeting the WiFi requirements would progress my application. The rejection email came as a shock, especially after being instructed to re-run the test (and because I passed everything else that was required of me). I'm disheartened by the lack of empathy and understanding shown by Job Duck. The upgrade has left me with additional debt, which is a significant financial burden. Fernanda’s response simply citing policy doesn't address my concerns. I feel Job Duck has been inconsiderate, leading me through a costly and time-consuming process. Rather than requiring costly upgrades upfront, consider allowing new hires to begin training and working while earning a salary. Include a contractual stipulation granting a reasonable timeframe (e.g., 30-60 days) for employees to upgrade their WiFi. To reiterate, I requested clarification on the reason for my application decline: was it solely due to WiFi issues or other factors? The vagueness of their emails and WhatsApp messages has left me uncertain. Furthermore, I enquired about: 1. Eligibility to apply for other Job Duck positions. 2. Whether my resume and information will be kept on file for future considerations. (If you go back to my Interview with Victor- if I remember correctly he stated that even if I don’t get the job I applied for at least Job Duck has the interview and my resume to send to other clients for employment for me- I just needed Fernanda or your recruitment team to confirm this). Despite reaching out to both Fernanda and the recruitment team, I've been met with silence.

I applied for a job with Jobduck. I waited an entire month to get a match only for them to come back to me and inform me that they are not able to employ me. Their process is long and after the training they then inform you that you can sometimes wait up to 3 months in order to get matched with an employer. This is not mentioned during the training or the hiring stages. Very disappointing!!

El proceso de aplicación es muy largo y te hace perder demasiado el tiempo para que luego te digan que no quieren continuar, un gran proceso de aplicación tan engorroso merece un feedback mas y detallado, pero al parecer les da pereza proporcionarlo y para colmo PAGAN POCO. no vale la pena aplica aquí, se creen la última coca cola del desierto.

They treat latinos like trash. After I quit, the GSU scheduled a call and let me know that I was not going to get paid for the last 2 weeks I worked basically SLAVERY. Work and don´t get paid. Their contract is designed to screw you over. Would not recommend job duck for anyone, only if desperate for work. Their hiring process is slow, the wage is low.

I was hired and let me tell you not only did they hire me for a role I didn’t apply to or was qualified for, but they then fired me for not learning the job fast enough (2 weeks) they are not organised, they don’t seem to have direction and it’s frustrating for an A personality type like me. There are also cliques in the company so if you are not part of one then it’s going to be hard for you

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!!!
