I called EvyExec for details on one of the posts that was mailed to me. Response I received on phone was very positive at trying to understand my problem and providing a solution...
I called to cancel my membership and left a message. Kevin called me back within hour, and it was handled promptly and professionally. So much easier than I thought it would be
They lure you in with a very slick website. However, once you apply and are accepted, then they string you along and you never get close to finding a job.
Waste of time - completely.
I really enjoyed Ivy Exec. I didn't sign up for their paid service, but I've used their webinars extensively! They are free and awesome. I couldn't recommend checking them out more
Pretty solid! Got a job from them. A bit exclusive, they only accept certain people. (thus the name) But, they got me a job, which is what really matters in the end.
Called an reached Kevin to follow-up on an email and resolve an issue. Promptly found my account and remedied the situation very professionally and promptly. Excellent customer service skills...
I had apparently not cancel my membership within 7 days of the auto renewal. It was 9 days. So, I received a partial refund.
I understand the rationale for a partial refund and was satisfy.
It is very pleasure to talk to the Kevin. The flexibility of the service makes me decide to try for one month with a little payment. The service response is quick too.
I was really impressed with the customer support team follow up. The team afforded me the opportunity to continue my membership and enjoy the service and professional support during my job search.
The survey was fun and easy to complete. The entire process was pain free and I was able to do it while at work. Overall, I recommend Ivy Exec to others.
They are ok and can be relied on, and are managed by professionals who know what they are doing. You can trust them
Ivy Exec is a scam that offers consulting fees for time and knowledge shared from industry subject matter experts but does not provide payment.
It boggles my mind that Ivy Exec is forcing their employees to post fake positive reviews. This should tell you all what type of scammers you are dealing with.
All the negative reviews you are reading are true. This company works on a bait n switch method where their recruiters massively spam users on LinkedIn with promises of Elite jobs. Do not be fooled by their employees who are logging in and posting positive reviews. Go on LinkedIn and search for Suisse Romande Network (or go to https://www.linkedin.com/groups/attention-ivyexec-scam-target-SRN-*******.S.*******), they have a post over how IvyExec is targeting their network with spam and charging people without telling them.
If that isn't enough, check out complaint board or yelp or maybe just click on them below:

Shame on IvyExec. Sooner or later people will file a lawsuit against you and put you out of business.
Some of these fake positive reviews are down right hilarious. They are calling people dumb. Well, these are the people that IvyExec 'recruiter' so if these users are dumb, what does it say about IvyEec recruiters?
Ivy Exec have no idea how many people they have scammed. These people are preparing an arsenal of multimedia content which will be sent to every networking page possible. Slideshare, LinkedIn, etc. IvyExec is going down and these employees of theirs will have some explaining to do. Criminals stick with criminals.
All the negative feedback on Ivy Exec is true.
They spam MBAs with "exclusive" invitations to join... they get this emails by accessing the school's internal directories and stealing the addresses from there.
The jobs they post are copied and pasted from the career pages of top companies, they tell you, you have to pay to apply and then redirect you to the original company site... when you ask what their added value is they say that HR knows those are Ivy Exec Candidates and they get extra attention. This is bs. Your resume goes into the same black hole as every other online applicant.
Then they charge you and refuse to give you a refund their excuse is that you had a free trial and you never cancelled... tricky cause they never email alerting you that your free trial is about to be over and you will be charged, if your school negotiated 6 months free after that period whether you like it or not if you don't remember to cancel your credit card is charged for 6 months of service.
If you see the logos of fortune 500 companies on their homepage, you would think those employers use Ivy Exec... not true... several of these corporations have tried the service for free and were disappointed, Ivy Exec uses those logos without authorization.
There are countless complaints about their service and fraudulent practices I am gonna take the time to take this to the BBB
I came across a job position on Ivy Exec that I was very interested in applying to on line and was unable a access the site as I kept receiving an error message thinking initially that I had entered the incorrect password. When I did not receive "password reset" to my E-Mail account I contacted Kevin M Ko at Ivy Exec by scrolling to the bottom of the screen on Ivey exec to "contact us" and saw that they had a direct telephone number to call. After being placed on a very brief hold, Kevin answered quickly and explained that they needed and updated copy of my resume as I was not yet approved and that I had to send him a copy of my resume so that their administrators could review it again. This was because the administrators of this site reviews each person's resume very carefully prior to approving membership to be certain that the services they provide (in this case job postings) so that they match the credentials, educational backgrounds and work experience of the members they are servicing. While I was a bit discouraged that I had not been previously approved, I was impressed that this group is so diligent and screens their clients as carefully as they do. The call was timely and Kevin answered all of the questioned I had thoroughly. I was told that I will receive an E-Mail within 24-48 hours and hopefully I will be approved so that more job postings will be open to my profession which I will have access to. I would also note that some of the positions posted on this site have not been posted on other web sites I have searched making for potential applications.
Not as good as the site advertises. I spent 40$ and most jobs were a bad copy past of monster.com. Would recommend MBAs to search at other sites.
Amazing site. My favorite subscription based business. Unlike the other job boards I used, I actually got help guidance and a mentor with Ivy Exec.
They will charge you absurd amounts without any prior notification. Never give them your credit card information for any reason!
Answer: They want you to pay them and they do not know anything about what people have accomplished in their background. They know NOTHING about BANKING, FINANCE, REGULATORY COMPLIANCE, FEDERAL OR STATE LAWS AND RULES. THIS COMPANY IS COMPLETELY CLUELESS AND YET THEY WANT YOU TO PAY THEM TO FIND YOU A JOB AND THEN THEY WANT THE "Client" to pay them for finding you, what a bunch of bologna! To answer your question, you are spot on.
Answer: It's a scam to take your money. Run from them screaming!
