Unfortunately, this is my second negative experience with OnlineJobs.ph, and I now realize it's a pattern, not bad luck. I paid for their services to find Filipino virtual assistants, but after payment my account was suddenly locked without warning or a clear reason. Support was unhelpful—first I was told it was a "recruiter" issue, then I was completely ignored. They refused to refund my fees, even after I was unable to use the service I paid for.

After researching I discovered I'm not alone—many others report accounts being suspended or blocked right after payment, with OnlineJobs.ph keeping all the money and never honoring their so-called "guarantee." This is completely unethical and seems like a deliberate approach to profit from unsuspecting customers.

OnlineJobs.ph is actually a US-based company in Lehi, Utah, so these business practices violate basic US consumer protection laws. If you've had a similar issue, I encourage you to report them to the FTC and BBB, and to share your story so others can avoid being scammed.

I'm writing this review because I'm frustrated and worried by OnlineJobs.ph's seeming unethical, if not unlawful, approach to profiles. They sell your information to paying, registered employers without your knowledge or implicit consent. The login information, activity, integrity, and confidentiality of your profile are therefore at risk with all other employers when you create a profile on OnlineJobs.ph. They even display your applications to them.

This is blatantly unethical and a breach. In exchange for the company using potentially exploitative user information for ethical business operations, users provide this information to the website as long as they believe it will only be used for this purpose, similar to how OnlineJobs.ph uses information. Furthermore, it's disheartening to see everything related to ethics and privacy operate in this manner.

OnlineJobs.ph seems to be using this operation only to sell your information and doesn't seem to care about you (or me!) as a loyal user in return, so I DO NOT suggest it for any future ventures. Hopefully, OnlineJobs.ph will either 1. Receives the punishment they deserve for engaging in such inappropriate behavior or 2. Gives us peace of mind that our information will be safe.

I've been sending them emails for verification purposes but none of them are replying to my messages, it was so frustrating.

I got scammed 2 years ago by a dude who employed me from US. Submitted a case but they won't help me and just turned a blind eye.

Do not care about workers on this site. Lots of scammers! Even if you report it they won't take any actions! Beware you can receive reviews but you can't review the scammer employer!
Normal Customer Service: says how to solve the problem of scammers.
Onlinejobs Ph: Threatens to ban you on their platform.

To increase your ID proof please review the following:
Incorrect name/address in the billing section.
The name on the bill should be the same name as the worker.
No tampering of name or address in the Utility bill. -- IF you are not the one who register for a Bill you cant be verified|? How stupid is that!

I can't withdraw my money almost 100k. I'm going crazy. I can send u some screenshots of my convos..

Completely stole hundreds of dollars from me. It's mostly Filipino scammers working for a complete scam of a company.

Onlinejobs.ph solves many business problems like an easy way to find numerous number of jobs on only one platform. You just need to put a right resume, your contact details and you are good to search for jobs you like.

Users/job seekers cannot see any reviews posted by their employers. If you're a VA, there's no way to know if you have a review up on your profile (positive or negative). This is quite unfair (and absurd not to have any visibility of your own ratings!) in case you get one from a dishonest and disgruntled employer, you'd be surprised you're not getting any job opportunities. Onlinejobs.ph Support Team is quite arrogant. Reaching out to them to seek clarification about why you can't see your own reviews is futile because they think they simply don't owe you any explanation. Moreover, the companies/employers are generally the thrifty ones who offer VAs as little as $400 a month for full-time work, though there are a few who are good and fair enough to offer $1000 starting. I would blame it on OJ's salary guide. AS IF they're experts in determining the worth of a VA's skills. Maybe Jonas based it on how much he's willing to pay his Fil workers. LinkedIn jobs are still way better.

Onlinejobs.ph is my go to website for hiring new people. Onlinejobs.ph not only has great affordable plans but they truly cast the widest net when it comes to applicants. Thanks

I was an active user of their platform before until I met an employer who accused me of harassing their HR when it was me who was actually discriminated against to the point that they lied to them putting me at odds. I thought they are fair however I was ignored repeatedly when I sought help.

Two years ago, in frustration, I asked them to delete my account which they acknowledged however they stated over email that by doing so I won't ever rejoin the platform anymore. Fast forward to 2022 I wrote back again seeking help to reverse but again they only responded with the last email exchange we had. Me being fair, I reviewed their terms and conditions and they had not once stated there that there is a rule preventing for a job seeker to rejoin. I wrote back to express my argument and I will voluntarily comply had they published such writing. Again, I was ignored.

Honestly, there are better platforms there that are far more equal in terms of protecting the welfare of their job seekers. I suggest avoiding OnlineJobs.PH not only for their horrible customer service, bogus employers, they just don't care about job seekers are they only gain fraction from our hard-earned money whilst banking cash on employer subscriptions instead.

To OnlineJobs.PH, I never regretted joining before and am thankful that I treated this way as it made me realize through the other reviews here that what I experienced is aligned with what others had in the past.

Hands down the best way to look for qualified hires as well as looking for an easy match-up service for those career searching

Sometimes, we are really met with clients that do not value our worth; those who don't understand the time it takes to do our tasks, abuse our rates, lowering them even further. They demand us to work for them full time at a meager salary, and yet it turns out that their pay can't even suffice our needs. Unfortunately, when we disagree with these clients, they leave us negative reviews which we, freelancers can't see. And thing is, we really can't defend ourselves as to why we've performed poorly for them especially when they themselves didn't follow through with their contracts. The site is officially client-oriented and disables employees who want to seek a better chance in life and better earning opportunity.

This really leads us to lose our chance of finding a good client that actually values our expertise and skills.

I'm writing this review in comparison to the way Upwork does things differently and I can say that Upwork is far more better than Onlinejobs.PH. In OLJ, there's no option for freelancers to see how they're rated by clients and the hiring people can leave a review even during the hiring process. There's no probe or investigation that happens whether these are legitimate clients or not. Transparency and visibility should be established. Plus, OLJ doesn't filter out scammers posing as clients, there's no way for Freelancers to rate these clients as well. So the chances of getting scammed at OLJ are really high.

I found an awesome team member who is still with me after almost 9 months. She has been an incredible blessing to me. Looking to grow again. Thanks!

Submit tons of application but none of a single respond (not even a message to tell you out)
I read other reviewers shared the same feeling too, it's no surprised platform fetching sys gen profiles to make it looks really active everyday or maybe hope to get sold one day like the Twitter? But wait, the owner of space-x won't be fooled that easy, is the same tricks gonna work out for u too onlinejobs.ph?
