When they reached out to me on LinkedIn, I was genuinely interested in the opportunity and was happy to proceed with the recruitment process. I have no issue completing reasonable requirements; however, I found the overall process to be overly demanding, repetitive, and not respectful of candidates' time. My feedback is as follows: 1. I was asked to complete several requirements, including creating a WhatsApp account, answering a very extensive questionnaire, and submitting a video, all within short timeframes despite informing you that I am currently employed and work every day. 2. Many of the questions required information that had already been provided in my resume/CV, while others were more appropriate for a live interview. As a result, the process felt repetitive and unnecessarily time-consuming. 3. I responded to their email with a question, but it was never acknowledged or answered, while additional requests continued to come with short deadlines. 4. Several communications were sent late at night while still expecting responses within 24 hours. I understand there may be time zone differences, but I hope the same consideration can be extended to candidates as well. 5. I was also instructed NOT to use a virtual background for my video submission. As this is a remote role, I use a virtual background simply to protect my privacy because I work from home and do not have a dedicated office. I don't believe that should have any bearing on my suitability for a remote role. After this experience, I looked into your company further and was surprised to see that similar concerns have been raised by other candidates in reviews here on Trustpilot and Google. Seeing experiences so similar to my own gave me the impression that these concerns may not yet have been fully addressed. I hope this feedback is taken constructively. Since this opportunity began with their outreach to me on LinkedIn, I also hope future candidates are given greater consideration for their time and existing work commitments. Candidates who are actively recruited are often already employed, and I believe a more streamlined, less repetitive, and more considerate recruitment process would create a much better candidate experience. I wish them and their team all the best.

The interview process was well organized and professional from beginning to end. Communication was clear throughout each stage, and I always knew what to expect regarding the next steps. The recruiters were responsive, supportive, and kept me informed during the entire process. I appreciated the timely updates and the transparency throughout the hiring journey, which made the experience smooth and stress-free. The interview itself was a positive experience. The questions were relevant to the role, and I felt that I had a fair opportunity to discuss my skills and professional background. Overall, I had a great experience and would recommend applying to this company. The process was efficient, respectful, and candidate-focused.

I was recently recruited b Somewhere.com to work for an Australian Electricians firm. Unfortunately during the early months, I lost my mother due to cancer and I became diagnosed with diabetes. As such, the Australian firm decided to let me go because they needed ongoing support. I now find myself unemployed, still trying to find another role with Somewhere.com but it seems as they don't want to work with me. And there is no way of reaching them directly via email or call.

The person they placed us with had two jobs and performed poorly for 3-4 months and they refused even a partial refund. We paid a premium for a junior Philippino and they provided us with positive contacts. I would hire yourself instead.

I was contacted by Somewhere LLC's HR few weeks ago. I received a mail where they sent me a typing assessment for SU-IT-Support position which i took and submitted it accordingly, next week i received another mail where they told me i passed that test now i have to record an introduction which i also did and submitted it as well. Later they sent me another email where they asked me for my updated CV which i immediately submitted to them as well. After couple of days they sent to me an email where it was mentioned that my application is saved and someone from their team will contact me if i align with any role. I am deeply saddened as they left me hopeless as i initially did all those tasks for the SU-IT-Support position for which i never received any positive or negative feedback.

This company underpays their recruits. The owner openly brags about exploiting people from non-US countries. Outsourcing isn't an issue, but paying skilled employees 70% less than you would a US employee is evil. This alone says a lot about what this company stands for.

Working with Albert and Zak was such a pleasure. They are professional and responsive. They made everything so easy. It was nice working with them!

Somewhere.com is a mess. We engaged them to find us a social media manager, a data analyst, and some BDR's. We had a good relationship with our main contact there Rameez who helped place these rolls and there were some issues but nothing that we couldn't work through. When replacing some of the rolls they promised to replace didn't go nearly as well as they had offered, they made us some additional promises. Then one day our main contact, Rameez, and this is where things went extremely sideways fast. With no heads up a new person took his place with no proper introduction of themselves or what was happening. The new person had no clue what was going on with out account. Before we even had a chance to get that person up to speed, another new person did the same thing and then another named Emily Tocknell. Emily promised she'd be different and make it right. It started good but then when came time to honor the final part of the deal we had made with Rameez, she tried to charge us an extra $3000 which was not part of the original deal. She asked us to prove we even had this with Rameez, which we did, and she doubled down on not honoring the deal. It's bad enough that we had a deal, in writing that they didn't honor, but you'd think if a recruiting company is trying to get back in your good graces, and already had the position filled, they'd try to make it right even if there wasn't already a deal in place. Somewhere doesn't care about ethics. All they care about is filling your positions as fast a possible so they can collect their commission and move on to the next placement. Update: Emily a resolution call but I can see now that she's actually been knee capped on a reasonable solution by her manager Klara Lee who gave robotic, "company line" answers in our follow up zoom call. I'm clearly just a simple transaction to management and not a partner. Klara only highlighted that...
