Billed me $50 a month without notifying me in any way, shape, or form, ever. Just noticed it after a year and a half. Didn't even remember signing up for it. Called them up (because you can't cancel online!) and got some rude kid at a call center (in India, judging by the kid's accent). The kid refused to refund my money. A total scam. Beware!

Stay away..
February 26, 2010

Stay away. Even if you are desperately seeking a job. None of the jobs they post are real and they simply want your monthly fee. Almost impossible to cancel as well. Stick with the well known boards like Monster.com and Careerbuilder.com and even better, use LinkeIN to network.

An utter scam
February 26, 2010

An utter scam. The jobs listed can be found on indeed.com with less effort. Their main source of income is that they 1) automatically re-bill you $75/month, 2) do not notify you that you are about to be billed or have been billed, 3) don't cancel subscriptions via the website but instead insist you call during business hours, and 4) never issue refunds. Avoid, and use your head instead of Hound.

Ripoff!
February 19, 2010

Ripoff! No jobs ever came up within basic search criteria. Would not refund money even though I called to complain within 30 days of signup. No such thing as their 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Jobs are never available, customer service is terrible. You have to call to cancel the service (can't cancel online), service reps don't pick up the calls and do not respond to email requests to cancel service. After 3 billing cycles I was finally able to get someone on the phone and they refused to refund the previous billing.

Beware of this job search site - Desparate, need a job. Hound.com promises these exclusive employment opportunities that other search engines do not have for a small fee of $29.95 not posted anywhere... yeah because they do not exists.
They have this nice message that you can click on to report a closed job posting, however they never removed any of them. Almost every job I clicked on was "no longer available" but yet they claim just came out a day ago.
After reporting to them that the jobs (and I mean several) were not even open, they still never removed it. The few that were open I contacted the hospital directly & they new of NO such posting.
They refuse to take cancel orders via e mail & make you call & speak to someone... who when answered the phone said hello like I called my buddy not a business. This is a big time scam! Everyone needs to know what a rip off they are!
