“Climber.com got me interviews.”

Once I took the first step to set-up my Career Profile information, I started to see great results for the higher paying jobs in my job search. The service was no risk with their 30 day trial period w/ a 30 money back guarantee. Their Customer Service Department was very knowledgeable, courteous and honest. $39 Membership is a great value. If your looking for Interviews, Climber.com is for you. Sincerely, Michael Riches

Can't give negative points for the waste of my time and money. Don't trust their 1-month free period! You can try to cancel - it just doesn't go through. So waste your money for the next year with their automatic, uncancelled, charges! The bank helped me to get already some refunds. Still working on more of them! Their website and phone recordings have false and misleading information & their phone numbers don't work (input >/dev/null) - what else do you need to know?

Please look at there reviews and comments from other clients. I mentioned to the agent IAN that I wanted to research there company, he was so defensive and rude. WOW! I knew something was fishy. I'm so lucky I saw there reviews and hung up.
I tried calling the company back to share my horrible experience, but nobody is there. What a scam, run or hang up immediately. I cant believe anybody would be so stupide to hire this company!

I called them... left message and got a call back in 1 hourl. Nice lady named Erika. She spent 30 minutes with me and I signed up for 3 months, gave me last month for free becasue I was NICE it seems... them spoke of resume. She had my critique done for free which was very helpful... Ton Heller was my team captain after that and did a good but slooow job... not her fault, just took a few times to tweak. This is not a scam... resume was great and professional and they went out of their way to help me. Sorry everyone else had a bad experience it seems.

This is a scam they got my 99 bucks and when I asked for a refund they won't talk to me anymore. Buyer beware I recommend saving your money and using a reputable resume service... I just had a resume done by a reputable writer and they told me how bad it was lol. Theses people are worse than child molesters and used car salesmen

Wow... what started as a great call, ended so unprofessionally and abruptly. Mike, the CEO, became increasingly defensive and aggressive when I said I wouldn't commit to anything that had a cost until I looked more into Climber. He proceeded to end the call by calling me a "piece of sh*t." Run... run far away from this company. I don't care if they even did place countless people in positions - I'd never want to be associated with someone who conducts their business like that.

I spent hundreds of dollars on this website trying to find a job. Ultimately sending resumes to recruiters never got me a call back. Also I never got a call back from any of the jobs I applied for. The service does not seem to simplify the application process, most of the time you still have to log into the prospective employer's website and create a profile. Also they have an app that is completely worthless and they know it but don't fix it. Overall I would say don't spend your money here---too many free sites like indeed and linkedin that are just as good if not better.

I received a call from one of the reps and I promised a call back. So, I called back there was a hard push to get to me on the books and a trial. And when I said, "Let me weigh in my options" The guy got pushy and kept asking questions in a very rude manner and said to me: "You are no potential client, stop wasting my time" and click. Head up, DO NOT DEAL WITH THEM! This guy was very desperate for money. Mark@ Climber, be careful with your co workers or employees over there.

Eon from Climber *******319) called me. After listening to his pitch and going through it in some detail, I advised him that I would think about it and call him back. I really wanted to do some investigation of this company before giving them any of my money. He refused to accept my request for his callback number. Instead, he hung up on me saying, "Stop wasting my time." Unfortunately, this sales rep is a reflection of the company. I was sincerely interested in joining, but after this exchange, I am no longer interested. Too bad.

I have no record of asking for any services from this company. Their website indicates I have no account registered with this company. I do not know how they obtained my banking information where they charged me 39.99 for unknown services. I have twice emailed them and twice called them on the phone, leaving messages without any response. It has all of the makings of an Internet fraud. Luckily my bank reversed the charge. BEWARE!

Ian called me to tell me about Climber.com's services. It all sounded decent, but I didn't want to sign up right then. He was determined to get me signed up. When I refused, he said, "quit wasting my time!" And he hung up on me.

I think for people who make more than $50,000 a year this site connects them with a lot of recruiters. If you do not make more than that, this site is not for you.

This is a scam. Impossible to access once they have oversold their services.
Buyer beware!
After a week of constant emails and deflection to numbers for cancellation, you best call your payment choice CC company and enter into a dispute to recover funds. % 500 dollar purchase for the rewrite was told now required $ 649 rewrite to truly acquire the desired effect to SPEAK to a specialist. Do your self a favor use proven resume professional perhaps pay morel. Do look at Climber reviews I wish I had

Do NOT interact with climber.com in any way!
They will spam the hell out of you with tons of emails until you sign up...

Then you will NEVER hear from them again.

After trying to cancel the "free" membership they had charged me $80 for, I ended up needing to cancel my card to prevent them from doing more damage.

Do NOT even exchange an email with them = VERY DANGEROUS

Climber.com is a fraud. It's difficult to log in to their site. They don't answer or return calls. They kept charging me even though they don't help me. I wrote an email to *******@climber.com but he would not reply me.
They purposely make it difficult to cancel. It's a dubious agency.

I politely listened to Ian with Climber pitch. I also politely declined his aggressive closing,
He said "Ok well, Stop wasting my time" and hung up.

Got sold on the sales pitch. Site is a scam and wont refund my payment. Had to get a new bank card. If any one at climber.com reads this they can rectify the situation by giving Craig Ginsberg a refund.

I am in the job market. I was getting emails from Climber, which were not specific for my field. I received a phone call from "Ian" at climber. The call seemed like a sales pitch but that was to be expected. However, I wanted to think about it and not commit to $39 a month or $99 for 3 months until I did a little more research on the company. That's when the sales pitch got more aggressive. I simply stated that I wasn't going to commit now and that I would do my homework and decide. After having to say this 3 or 4 times, "Ian" said something about wasting his time and hung up on me.

I do not have much experience with the website. However, the call I received was from Francesca and she was very rude. Why would I want to use their service when the person representing them is not acting professional?

ITS A FRAUD! Climber.com meet all of the essentials elements to prove they are fraudulent. Misrepresentation, Impracticability, supervening illegality, impossibility, promise induced by detrimental reliance, possess legal incapacity deceived during the transaction and inability to perform. They bate recent graduates from colleges by indicating they are employment service. Yet they do nothing but bate you to buy there resume service on a NOTHING claim.

I've used Climber for over a year now as a way to fill job positions that I am working on. I place candidates with companies of all types from small startups to companies like ATT. I've always been happy with their service, responsiveness to my concerns and their professionalism. Have you ever tried to get someone on the phone at the other job sites? Its als worth noting the people I have placed in jobs because of it were happy with Climber as well.

I received a call from Ean today. He tried to pressure me into subscribing to Climber's service. I explained to him that I was waiting for feedback from two companies I recently interviewed with, and that I would not subscribe to Climber's service until I received responses from both companies I had already interviewed with. He ignored my response and pressed harder and harder. After I told him no for the third time, he said "Well F___ you then!" and hung up the phone. He was very unprofessional and appeared to be no more than a fast-talking scammer. Stay away from this company!

I signed up for a resume rewrite by a Climber expert writer in February. Since then it has been impossible to speak with an actual human being. I have left voice messages that were never returned. Their website is also very confusing. There is a resume that looks like it was very lightly edited, but not a powerhouse resume re-write. Stay away and use you money elsewhere.

After 6 months of use I decided that Climber.com wasn't getting me any attention and, frankly, I don't think I thought well of it enough to use it every day.

I have no way to see whether the recruiter information was current or valid. I received no follow ups from anyone I contacted.

The final straw was the resume critique - uninformed and terrible. I had my resume reviewed by paid professionals and climber's folks started by saying it lacked sizzle and needed a total re-write. Probably standard language. Not appealing and not reliable

There are other sites that I gravitate to.

Climber has a long way to go. It's not only about the ease of use; it's about the success. I had none.
