Ivy Exec

This is one of those unethical businesses that is around. I was charged $166 for 6-months membership without my consent. I tried to get the membership cancelled by writing to them a number of times, and called them few times. I have not received a single reply nor acknowledgement from the company. These kinds of businesses should not exist. I have never seen a business that starts with $0.99 and then switches you to 6 month membership costing $166. Somebody should put these people out of business. The CEO went to Columbia university, and has history of legal shenanigans. I cannot fathom how a reputed school can admit somebody like this. Accountability starts from the top. An organization is the reflection of its founders/management.

Update: I got my refund, but still is NOT right.

I've been pleased with the interactions and communications with Ivy Exec company. They are honest and over deliver on follow-up and making sure things happen. I'm very much searching forward to working with them in future.

This company offers so many things to offer. The website has online learning of various business topics to educate yourself and your staff. I have referenced them to build a educational class for my staff. The surveys do pay if you actually answer the questions with expertise. I have nothing but positive experience with this company. I have been in Healthcare for 25 years, and not all companies are legit, but this one has been nothing but exactly what they say they are.

Great interaction with Ivy Exec - sharp folks, very client and delivery focused. We were hoping to source a bit more expert interviews overall, and there was a mix-up with the payment process with one of the Experts, which led to the Expert not providing part within the deadline of the agreed insights, but I hope the payment was sorted out in the end. Thanks to Hanna and the team for supporting us!

I had a very large project and the Ivy Exec team and RJ went above and beyond my expectations recruiting hard-to-reach respondents for my Market Research study. I needed 15 high-caliber business professionals in the insurance industry and they were the only vendors who were able to assist me. RJ went above and beyond making sure I had no concerns when the deadline was approaching and sure enough, they delivered. His Project Management team (I believe her name was Aleksandra) sent me daily reports of qualified respondents and always made sure all my needs were met. The project was a huge success and we have worked on several projects together since. I highly recommend RJ and his team for all of your recruitment needs. Especially hard to reach, c-suite executives.

IvyExec gives off a bad vibe.

Recently, they have done some webinars, etc. that get high rankings.

Several times a year, they get complaints about charges that were not authorized on people's credit cards.

Also, a deep web search owner Elena Bajic has a bad reputation as a self-serving person and a workplace bully, despite her open professions towards having family, pets and general philanthropy.

On the Better Business Bureau, they have a current rating of "F" and are not allowed to register because they have too many infractions.

Something just does not seem right about them.

Sometimes I get a feeling that the "job search" process changes on a daily base. Everything from writing your resume to interviews just keeps changing and I, and I'm sure that there are many people just like me, think that I can't keep up with it. Over the course of time, I have found an online service with "up to date" information and that's Ivyexec.com. Even though I was sceptic at first, thinking that they're not different from any other site of the kind, I found that their advice is really helpful. All being said, I recommend it to everyone looking for work or just trying to adapt to these constant changes.

Why anyone would pay for this service is beyond me... After signing up for the free month it became fairly obvious to me that 99% of the opportunities can be found on free sites or on the original Company Website, you just need to do some quick related searches to find them.
Of the jobs that were recommended to me, a large percentage were not in my related field, so they were just throwing more darts at the board, rather than focusing on good matches. Relevant jobs sent my way quickly ceased to exist, the allocated account manager was often OOO when I reached out to them, and failed to follow up upon their return, and even the All Access service failed to get me access to certain opportunities.

DO NOT sign up for this service... no matter how desperate you are to get a job...

I would like to recommend ivyexec.com to anyone who's looking for a job. You can use it for free or you can become a pro member of their community. I'm very happy with what they have to offer. Their blog is great because they talk about how to properly write a resume, how to make a cover letter and also how to dress up for an interview. There are some things we all know but there are also questions that your colleagues or friends and family can't answer. In my opinion, this is one of few sites which has most of dilemmas covered when it comes to looking for a job. Way to go!

Hello,
I am a Corporate Recruiter and realized quickly that the jobs I posted on indeed were being copied onto Ivy Exec's site. I have never talked to these people nor does anyone here have a 'relationship' with them. They will not get any candidate's in front of me faster. In fact, they won't get you in front me at all. You can apply for free through indeed.com. Ridiculous, unprofessional and a downright scam. They need to stop.

Really good service. It's incredibly scary trying to find a job by yourself, even if you have good contacts. There's a level of fear that creeps into your daily life when you're attempting to get things back on track in that insidious vacuum. Ivy Exec was a great resource to me when I was out of work last year. The best thing they did was set me up with a mentor.
The only complaint? The price. It seems like a service that is most effective when you have a good job but are looking for a GREAT job.

This review pertains to customer service.

I had trouble signing in so I found their phone number and just called them. A male customer service rep who I think was named Greg answered only after a few rings and walked me through the login process. He took the extra time to tell me about some features I didn't know about.

I am continuing to use the site as I progress with my job search, and will update this review as necessary.
