SnagAJob.com Reviews – Legit or Scam?
SnagAJob.com is a job search website that helps connect people with jobs in their area. Once you’ve reviewed the jobs available and identified ones that interest you, you can create a profile on Snag A Job and apply directly to the job from the website.
You can also post your profile to be viewed, so employers can contact you if they feel you are qualified to fill a position. In this way, SnagAJob.com claims to be similar to other job finding websites such as CareerBuilder.com or Monster.com.
Snag a Job provides a range of job types, from warehouse inventory jobs to higher level jobs that require further education or experience. SnagAJob.com also provides information on degree programs for people looking to improve their job finding chances.
So is SnagAJob.com Legit or a Scam?
First and foremost, many of the jobs available on SnagAJob.com are legitimate, and they may have helped connect members with them. But you’ll also notice that on their list of available jobs, there are many jobs offered from online opportunities like paid survey companies.
Most people that are signing up at an online job database are looking for more traditional jobs that come with a steady paycheck, as opposed to online business or supplemental income opportunities. If you receive one of these offers after signing up with SnagAJob.com, make sure to investigate the company before investing any money.
In addition, according to their Full Privacy Policy, they provide your contact information to partner companies and third party companies in order to contact you with advertisements or special offers they think you might be interested in based on your site activity.
If you do not want to be contacted by these companies, you can try to change your Snag a Job profile to more accurately reflect the types of emails you would like to receive, but you may also choose to set up a separate email account to deal with the communication you receive from them.

My review isn’t about the numbers of scam artists and work from home scams on the website. In my experience, every job board has these. What I noticed about this website is that their jobs do not have a posting date (so the job seeker doesn’t know how old the job posting is) and the jobs from legitimate companies are not current. In a number of cases, I followed the instructions and went on the company site, only to learn the job wasn’t posted there. In another case, I contacted the contact person for that location and learned the job was already filled. As a job seeker, I want to be confident that the jobs I apply to are current and with this site, I really can’t tell.

A complete scam, none of the jobs exist, anyone who gives this 4 stars or more is part of the SAJ damage control team

I have used snagajob. Like many people never got any thing from it but phone calls and unwanted emails. At the time I was working for a company listed on the site so I know for a fact that they were not hiring anyone. the company was cutting employees hours NOT hiring. I will never use their web site to look for a job. A side note never go a responses from the jobs I applied for.
April 25th, 2012 at 7:28 am
I give them a fair rating on sending applicants my way (very few qualified), but not on being on top of business ethics. Once you sign up and pay with a credit card you will be paying until you cancel. They do warn you in the fine print, somewhere in the thousands of tiny words when you click the agree button. They are up front about it, but I feel it is an unethical way to get an extra month out of Companies or struggling Small Businesses, but this seems mild compared to all the bad reviews I have read about snagajob. The good and the bad are always sorted out by Karma!

The emails are ridiculously bombarding BTW!
April 23rd, 2012 at 1:36 pm
I used a disposable email address last June in my Snag a Job profile. I still get 10 spam messages a day from all kinds of companies, (some legitimate), that they sold the address to. I have never used that address anywhere else on the Internet. I told them initially not to send me email, and I have confirmed it on the website. “They” don’t send me mail, everyone that bought their list is. It’s not productive to sit and click unsubscribe on every message. As I never gave these companies permission to email me, I block it at the server and report them to my ISP. If everyone did this, the ISPs will stop accepting mail from these companies. When they can no longer contact their real customers, they will re-think their decision to buy a mailing list from a bunch of scam artist.

I have also been receiving spam and tons of annoying phone calls from online schools,even though I specifically indicated’ no thanks’ on the check box that asked if I wanted to be contacted by recruiters. I have not heard any responses from the employers that I applied to on snagajob. I tried to give them a chance for four months but still no luck yet,smh. I wish all of you best of luck in your job hunting.

I just applied to a part time job 2 nights ago and have already been called to set up an interview. I think its pretty okay.

April 17th, 2012 at 6:35 pm
just changed my profile and gave them my local police stations’ phone number. Let’s see how far they get in spamming that number. Enjoy :)
April 17th, 2012 at 6:10 pm
I’m laughing my ass off at the Snag-A-Job reps coming on here and posting how “great” it was/is. Majority says it’s a scam, and I’m getting the same exact problems as everybody else. Nothing but non-stop spam from both the email variety and phone calls. I have hit “unsubscribe” on the email countless times, and every time the damn phone rings, I answer and politely ask to leave me the hell alone. All to no avail. Majority rules.
April 17th, 2012 at 5:56 pm
Really tired of them blowing up my phone. I’m in college, I put that on my profile, so why is their college calling me? I want nothing to do with a “for-profit” college.
April 16th, 2012 at 8:35 am
The site is a scam. Some, not all, of the jobs are legit though. I have a separate email address for job hunting and I now receive 50 to 60 spam a day since signing up for this site. I have also received numerous calls about going to one of their sponsored schools even after making sure I was not subscribed. I have to search through all their ads and junk just to be able to search for a job. I have not received a single call back after applying to numerous jobs. All the jobs want you to go their site and the info you had to spend time on entering on snag a job does not transfer to the employer’s site. Indeed.com and monster.com are much better job sites than snag a job
April 13th, 2012 at 11:49 pm
I posted a want ad to hire a secretary and had 15 responses within a few days. I am planning on interviewing them. No it is not a scam.
April 11th, 2012 at 3:56 pm
I thinks it’s a scam. I filled out more than 20 jobs and not even one phone call . It’s a waste.
April 9th, 2012 at 8:05 pm
Im not sure that snagajob is real or not!! I do know that I have been a member for four years and filled out numerous apps. Not one has called!! And yes I am qualified and my resume is up to date!!

Pure scam i filled out numerous applications and not one call except from schools. They now have my personal information. Beware!
April 4th, 2012 at 2:27 pm
I signed up with snagajob.com so I could apply online to my local Chili’s Restaurant since I am a line cook by trade. All the emails they sent me were for jobs that I am not qualified for. Then they started calling my personal cell phone. I unsubscribed from their emails and asked them numerous times to stop calling me. Well they apparently don’t know the meaning of the word “stop” because they call me every single day. Oh and by the way Chili’s never contacted me about my application!
April 1st, 2012 at 7:30 pm
useless and no matter how many times i unsubscribe i still get emails numerous times throughout the days – 7 days a week. UGHHHH
March 29th, 2012 at 5:28 pm
it is a big scam, I’ve used it 3 times now and after I applied online I followed-up each application by going down to the business personally (they were all giant chains but I won’t get into names), anyway, all of the places were a) not hiring or b) had never heard of or didn’t use Snag-a-Spam, one manager told me that far from hiring people he was actually cutting hours for some of his staff!
March 26th, 2012 at 12:50 pm
They sell your info and cant delete it when you try to. I just submitted my phone number and now i have calls from all these companies that dont even involve the jobs or anything. Go to craigslist or masslive or somewhere that has a credible name.
March 25th, 2012 at 9:03 pm
Don’t waste your time/efforts applying to jobs listed through this website. Scam/fraud are strong words – so I will just say that there is a lot of untruths linked to this website and the companies that employ their services – and yet they made enough funds to move into a $27M new building in Richmond, VA and are apparently hiring all their young little friends. I’d say the average, re their posted photos, look like they might be old enough to have had a baby sitting job at one time and yet now find themselves employed giving adults out trying to find jobs to support their families with food/housing are are applying for jobs that they are way over qualified for, while their employees are boasting about spending time with their dogs and riding motorcycles. PLEASE! Use your Facebook expertise elsewhere! You’re simply giving out all of your personal information to someone who will more than likely use if for ID theft or SPAM. I have been getting SPAM mail and I have no idea who these people are so I treat them as SPAM and delete. Do NOT give out your SSN’s on any application. If a company, such as Home Depot, requires it on their application, go to their location nearest you, and confront them on this issue. Also – employers are not allowed to ask about your age nor try to disguise their attempts with such lame questions as “What year did you graduate” or “What is your exact birthdate”. You’re asking for a lot of heartache down the road. These companies do not even checkk their incoming applications from on-line: I know – I’ve been to several companies and followed up. NONE OF THEM EVEN CHECKED! AND ALL BUT ONE HAD EVEN HAD SO MUCH AS A PART-TIME JOB. If you’re serious about finding a job that indeed exists – invest your energies in yourself by going out and getting applications in person or handing our resumes with references, etc. Let companies see there is a real person looking for a real job and you took the time to seek their attention. And please, above all else, stop taking advice from these “kids” working at Snag a Job – ask them how long they’ve been working. Ask any of them how much real world experience they have. Ask them what their background is and in what area their expertise lies. Bottom line: do you really want to trust your future and that of your family members to some unknown idiot that looks like there sole experience lies in their Facebook entries?

In the middle of my snagajob application I had to stop but it was right after I had already put in my email and phone number. So I tried to go back to finish it but it kept saying a person with my name and email already had an account. But then I tried to apply to some of the places in the emails but it said my account didn’t exist! I believe it is a scam just to get peoples info.
March 15th, 2012 at 2:35 pm
I filled out an application on there and the next day i was called for a interview this is definitely not a scam maybe you guys just don’t qualify for the jobs your applying for or they are not interested in you but don’t take it out on the site because it really does work.
dac says:
March 26th, 2012 at 4:02 pm
So – did you get the job? Or do you really work for Snag A Job and just trying to “boost” their ratings. At this point I trust absolutely no individual who says they have had a so-called positive experience using this “method” of job hunting. Go ahead – be brave – tell us where you work and where you got this so-called job you’re boasting about. I double dare you!

March 19th, 2012 at 1:59 pm
u fill out the ssn?!?!? im afraid to do it!
March 10th, 2012 at 9:39 pm
It is not a scam. My son got a job at Chic Fil A after I filled out a app for him on snag a job.
Ian Campbell says:
April 29th, 2012 at 4:31 pm
You filled out your sons app? What a loser, I deserve his job.
March 9th, 2012 at 2:12 pm
I have no faith or trust in SnagAJob. I can’t say for sure that it is a scam, yet I feel it is. All I have received is a ton of scam mail and advertisements. There were offers to jobs, and when I applied for a couple, the response is “this job is no longer available”. I suggest going directly to the company website vs going thru this website.
Again, after visiting this website, I have received so many advertisements and junk mail. Many of the positions listed are no longer available and then they have all your information and apparently send it off to many other vendors.
March 9th, 2012 at 9:18 am
went on to apply for a job said all info was wrong will think i know when i started a job and when i left i do not think i will use you again to look for a job
March 6th, 2012 at 6:26 pm
It’s a total scam. They sell your personal information to other sites who then will call you wanting to sell you an online education degree. They will call you over, and over. It is best to delete your information and approach the business for employment on your own. Scam, Scam Scam!!!!!
March 5th, 2012 at 2:18 am
OMG!!! don’t go on this site! It’s horrible it’s all spam… Now there is someone out there with our info…Who is willing to go to court and make this site (the owner) guilty? Throw him/her in prison for life… It’s no joke we are going to have so much problems in the future cuz there’s so much identity theft in the world… I keep receiving emails from places I never applied to…
March 2nd, 2012 at 3:33 pm
All A got to say is that snag a job is a scam. I don’t care how much they deny it by putting up truth myth articles about their website online, they never helped me find a job. Ive been on it since sophomore year and I’m a senior now. Not once have I gotten a call back ever. the postings that are on there do not exist. every time I call the company I applied to they say the same thing “we’re not hiring” I wasted so many hours applying for jobs that don’t exit. the only thing snag a job really REALLY does is waste your time.
February 29th, 2012 at 1:07 am
Snagajob.com is a joke,they will send you all type of emails saying this job is hiring and that job is hiring,when really they’re not hiring.
February 25th, 2012 at 7:34 pm
I applied at Golden Corral through Snagajob.com and they called me 2 days later and I got hired. It is legit, it is not a fake. The only thing I dislike about Snagajob is they keep the same job postings even if its 2 months old.
February 25th, 2012 at 4:11 pm
I will call my law and let them know they put your PRIACY INFO out for all to see and calls all day and night.
February 19th, 2012 at 5:10 pm
this is crap kind of looking at it now with the reviews of how they have the same openings over and over again its stupid and annoying and also how phoenix called me once and then even that art institute college crap, although This site was recommend to me during my 10th grade year and I have been trying to find a job for 3 years since here and Craigslist now I guess I’m going to unsubscribe and looking around in person, call in or from another site.
February 5th, 2012 at 3:10 pm
I’m telling you to take me out of your false, un-hopeful site, I see that you have more a very very bad ratings and would no longer like to be part of such a loser ,waste-ful site. So take me out of your program its a hat for of no jobs call back. A Big Waste Of Time. Kathy Aaglan.
February 5th, 2012 at 2:48 pm
I think snag a job.com is a joke. I’ve been on their web site for a year a haven’t a git a job. And the ones they have sent me weren’t even hiring ,Boston Market, Micheles Arts And Crafts,this site is a joke and would like not to be a member any longer. Thank you Kathy Aaglan.
February 3rd, 2012 at 4:29 pm
filled out apps got to the end they wanted money for me to join care.com which was through snagajob ??????
February 2nd, 2012 at 4:14 pm
I don’t know what you are talking about with the spam emails and such, maybe every one needs to be more careful when it comes to reading things put in front of you. I used snag-a-job and was called for an interview within a few days. I eventually got that job and stayed there for over a year. I’m sure some of the job listings aren’t current, but when you’re looking for work you should be prepared to fill out as many applications as possible.

Your right Jordan , Key word people “Read” Its not a giant scam people just dont read everything thats put on their screen and may unintentionally agree and accept to things and offers they dont want , but only because they did not read the information thoroughly. I haven’t tried Snagajob a yet , i just made a profile a few minutes ago but i believe if you pay attention to what your doing and read the information everything should be ok and you won’t have your email inbox drowned with emails from other companies and schools , as everyone says “spam” ect .
Annie says:

Thanks for the positive comment. I was starting to get a little afraid.
January 31st, 2012 at 4:53 pm
I was at a career center looking online for local jobs. I found one that was near my location, and it was offered through Snagajob. I thought nothing of it, so I began to apply.
At first it was the usual application questions: name, address, ZIP code, etc. But then it began asking questions such as “are you under 25?” and “have you been a full-time student within the past 6 months?”
I thought nothing of it, even though the questions were odd.
After completing the application, I hit submit. But instead of giving me a verification page or email, it sent me to a page on Phoenix Online trying to get me to take classes through a program. I was extremely frustrated that all I had done was sold my information to a bunch of third parties, and now for the past 4 weeks we’ve been harassed by telemarketers and Phoenix University reps.
Do not go to Snagajob. There are no jobs to be had, only people taking your information and selling it.
Jennifer says:
February 27th, 2012 at 10:15 pm
I did this too by accident…there’s actually a “skip” option below that you and I apparently missed when filling out the form and hitting submit. I have been asking Phoenix school to stop calling for months now and they keep calling!
January 22nd, 2012 at 9:41 am
Fellow Wage Slaves, Don’t waste your time with SnagAjob. The site partners with scummy retailers who pull this “Rolling Admissions” BS.
Know what it means? It means some HR guy is collecting piles of resumes, only to be “looked” at when the company is good and ready to hire…
DON’T WASTE YOUR PRECIOUS TIME FOLKS!!!!
January 19th, 2012 at 5:50 pm
The site tries to match people with the BEST job both for the employer and employee. I’ve had a lot of success on it, gotta say I’m a fan.
Sometimes it stinks to not get a position cause you either didn’t meet a requirement or the employer decides you aren’t a fit, but better to find out before you start working then late.
The site is meant to connect you and possible jobs plus its free. I get a lot more SPAM from other sites
Ian Campbell says:
April 28th, 2012 at 7:20 pm
So how much is Snag A Job paying you?
January 19th, 2012 at 11:26 am
SnagAJob is nothing but crap. I have had a part time job for over a year now and have been searching on snagajob + craigslist to find something better. SnagAJob has had the same dozen or so postings for over a year now in my area. I think they just grab a handful of business names and post fake openings for them. And like everyone else said you just get spam everyday and no interviews or call backs. They suck don’t even waste your time. Your better off checking Craigslist even though that sucks too
January 19th, 2012 at 8:17 am
.
You have to be fervent on SnagAJob. I’ve gotten two jobs off of SnagAJob and I’ve spoken to two others that have gotten them too at Sears. My first job was for Marshalls ($8.25 an hr) in Illinois and one for Crossmark ($10.50 an hr) – and no, not pushing food samples.
I was unemployed from June 2 – Nov 1, 2010 when I got my Marshalls job so that took me 5 months to get, but I got one.
At the time, I was living at my uncles home, which went into foreclosure so I had to move to a relative’s home in Indiana on June 19, 2011.
I went back on SnagAJob on June 20, 2011 and got my Crossmark job on August 23, 2011 so that only took two months, but I got one.
I actually have a little under $2,000.00 in my checking account right now (after bills) where as on June 2, 2010, I had less than $10.00.
So like I said, you have to be fervent.
As far as the jobs not being available that are posted to SnagAJob – they can only do what it is they do. The reason the jobs are posted but not available is usually due to the fact that (say Kohls for instance) filled the job, which they do immediately (1 to 2 days) and did not update their jobs with SnagAJob and instead SnagAJob still has them on their site as available.
SnagAJob is very legit, there’s really no question there, it just takes time. You’ll always be contending with hundreds of others who are applying for the same jobs.
I sat at three different Kohls with more than two others there for the same job. How many others came in that same day before and after I was there, I don’t know. With jobs what they are, I imagine the interviews were numerous. Like I said, it’s hit and miss.
If you really want to find yourself wasting your time, go to Career Builders. You’ll spend a lot of time typing and most likely never see a job come your way. I applied for hundreds of jobs and never got a single response between June 2, 2010 and November 1, 2010 when I finally got my job at Marshalls.
The spam you’re getting is from outsiders (not SnagAJob). The spammers access your resumes on SnagAJob so that they can send you that email – be it trying to set you up in your own insurance office – ugh, or real spam where they’re trying to rip you off. It’s not SnagAJob doing that.
If you want a job immediately and you cannot wait, simply go to all of the Walmarts in your area and sit at their computer in customer service and fill out their forms.
Of course they only pay minimum wage but it’s something in the interim. Since they only pay minimum wage, they’re turnover is high so openings are not usually slim pickins.
A job is a job, is a job when you need funds. Being around a lot of people (Walmart employees and customers) throughout the day, is the best opportunity you’ll ever have in discovering where you can get a better job that pays more in your area.

March 22nd, 2012 at 5:57 pm
Good for you, but didn’t work for me.
Also disturbed by your “It’s not SnagAJob’s fault that you’re getting spam”, but it is indeed. I only want employers that I applied access to my information, not the University of Phoenix or other ‘trade’ schools. The fact that SnagAJob allows this to happen makes them just a culpable as the host of scammers, fake employers and other ‘bots infesting this site.

January 18th, 2012 at 1:16 pm
Attention Job Seekers….ONLY…look at the Snagajob Site for possible job openings. Then, go to the phone book and call the actual business itself and ask if they are hiring. If they are, take the time to go in person to Human Resources of the actual company. Do not be a fool and trust these online scams!!

Hey Ashley, how much is Snag a Job paying
Ashley says:
January 19th, 2012 at 9:08 am
I got a job from there…they were legit for me! A couple of my friends did as well…I think if you took the time to do it right, you wouldn’t have this problem. Hope this helps!
January 16th, 2012 at 12:18 pm
Since signing up on SnagaJob my email has become nothing but spam – to the point I may just delete it and create a new email address. Also – as others have mentioned – these jobs are OLD and mostly non-existant. One can presume they are left out there for “bait”.
January 16th, 2012 at 9:40 am
I spent days filling out close to a dozen job applications for local jobs posted as firing in my area. Most took between 45 min. to 2 hours!!! A few days later I spent two whole days driving around from job application site to job application site doing a follow up visit. NONE of the companies Snagajob listed as having these opening had ANY of these job openings!!!
Now I am still on their email alert for jobs in my area. I get multiple job listings from them and everyday they send me companies names with a job title of HOLIDAY HELP 2011…it is JANUARY 16th 2012 no company is looking for HOLIDAY HELP now! I will be pulling my email from their contact list.
I have sent Snagajob two emails to date about the false job listings. They have not responded in any.
If you are a company or someone looking for a job don’t waist your time with Snagajob. Maybe they do have current job listings but I would be lost in all of the outdated job listings. I may be job less at this time but I still value my time. Companies thinking of using Snagajob should look for someplace with better quality control before handing over their advertising money to Snagajob.
Oh yes I to must have missed one of the education via internet ads. They look like you are filling out a job application and you can miss it and accidentally give them your contact info and then you get flooded with calls…they used up all of my months phone minutes in under a week! But that was my fault for not keeping a better eye out or not deleting my info before I got out of that page.
I have tried many different formats for sending my resume and they all turn into a big mess on Snagajob. Maybe when they are sent to the possible employer they are morphed back into a nice looking resume…

Elizabeth,
I too have had this stupid problem. Anyways, I am coming to the realization that creating a job may be more suitable than finding one. Anyways, Im thinking of starting a Sport camp for youth and have a unique niche (won’t disclose here). Ridiculous.
January 12th, 2012 at 6:03 pm
I tried SnagAJob, I actually got an interview, but did not get the job. I did however get LOADS of spam, unsolicited texts and phone calls etc. I think it must be very easy for spammers to use the sites to gather up your info.
January 11th, 2012 at 12:19 pm
Wow, Reading all this kind of freaks me out. I recently signed up to Snagajob and i thought it looked pretty legit.. I’ve filled out 3 applications just for Kohls at different locations but, they weren’t actually on Kohls website, This makes me wonder if i even sent one in or if it was just randomly sent away somewhere. I joined the site out of desperation, I have looked everywhere for a job and just can’t seem to land anything.
January 10th, 2012 at 1:25 pm
I have searched this site daily. You don’t have realistic jobs for everyday people on this site and the mileage is never even close!
January 6th, 2012 at 12:01 pm
I’ve been filling out apps on SnagAJob. com for a few months now. I haven’t been getting a bunch of phone calls from college ads cause I don’t fill them out & I skip them. I have a job @ Ann Taylor now thanks to SnagAJob.com. I’ve also been called in for an interview @ Sears.
January 3rd, 2012 at 3:33 pm
I dunno if this one’s a scam or not, but I must say that I had once automated job offers with this site for retail opportunities a year ago. There was a time when I did apply to just one opportunity for part-time job at a Levis Flagship store thru Snagajob.
I clearly remember that I only submitted my name and contact details when I was directed to Levis’ application site, which was like the first portions to it. I actually didn’t continue on my application since I was busy with my primary job.
Unexpectedly, I got a call back 9:00pm PST on a Friday( several days when I started an application) from Levis to schedule for a job interview on Monday, 4pm. Due to the short notice and ahead-of-time appointments, I had to cancel that offer.
I did double check the phone numbers and they where legit from Levis.
Overall, I would say that this site is legit under certain circumstances, that I got a call back for a job interview. Though I did find it peculiar that I hadn’t finish my application, not even a quarter of it, and got a call back for a job interview.

I have never received any feedback from any of the jobs I applied to even when I filled out Snag’s application and the employer’s application (this includes the six-billion-pointless-question personality assessment). What I have received was loads of advertisements and telemarketers.
I am starting to think I should build my own business instead of crawling backwards on my belly through broken glass barbed wire to find work… at least then I will be doing things that make me happy and make me money.
December 29th, 2011 at 9:30 pm
I didn’t even sign up for this, but I just got an email saying “We’re thrilled that you’ve decided to partner with Snagajob!” Or something to that effect. I even asked my husband if he had signed me up for another temp agency (I’m going through Terra now), and he said he hadn’t. So what the heck? How in the world did these people get my email address??? I personally think it’s all a scam and that they send random emails to random people, just looking for money. I wouldn’t do it, simply for that reason.

Do not ever agree with wanting to go back to college if you have no co-borrower or want a loan and if so do not have them to call your cell phone unless you got unlimited minutes. They keep calling daily and I had spend hours on the phone with just one college and the phone bill went up from $100 a month to $500 that month. I was so lucky to try my best to avoid other colleges call too.
December 10th, 2011 at 4:22 pm
first of all, i managed to submit a few applications, but when calling these locations to find a human resources person, i found out some of those listings are over 6 months old, they just rake in jobs from anywhere, without checking to see the dates or if they’re legitimate, after i figured out snagajob isn’t worth the time of day, i tried to unsubscribe, it says it may take up to 10 business days to take you off their mailing list, but its been a month and counting and the ‘unsubscribe’ link, still hasn’t worked.
Chef says:
January 30th, 2012 at 2:07 pm
Going on 6 months of waiting to be “unsubscribed”, and since they spam me, I send out a daily email to their sales and support teams asking to be removed, and not once did they have the professionalism to respond. Snagaspam is a BS email trolling company.

I have looked and applied for jobs here in the past, and I have always been unfortunate.
Normally, I tend to not meet the requirements of what I apply for (which are basic part-time jobs, mind you).
Really annoying if you don’t mind me asking. Personally, I don’t feel comfortable using this website to look for a job. Apply at a store that actually has a website instead. That’s all I will say.

December 7th, 2011 at 1:59 pm
i think a lot of the links on snagajob are phony. But if you go directly to the applying website rather than applying through the company your sending your app directly to the company you’re applying to. i wouldnt use the snagajob site to get a job but would use it for links to correct web addresses
December 2nd, 2011 at 8:17 pm
I found a job years back through snag a job, and i’m coming back to try again.
December 2nd, 2011 at 8:45 am
I filled out three applications to the same company. Every time I completed them I would receive a message saying application received. Thirty to 60 minutes later I would receive a message saying application incomplete. I do not know how there is any other way to fill out an application. I personally think it is a scam just to get personnel info.

snag a job is a good web site. i have applied for many jobs and have had several interviews because of this web site. It is easy to use and it gives me emails when my application was recieved. I even had a job at Staples before corporate down sized us. So now i am back at finding a job agian and i trust snag a job to help me.
December 1st, 2011 at 7:28 pm
PLEASE— Do not be taken advantage by Snagajob!!!! There are much more effective ways of sending in applications and resumes!!!!
I have been using many different job websites to find out about positions that are available. This website though was a complete scam. I had a specific job that I wanted to apply for there but the website repeatedly tried to scam me by basically using CSRF to get me to give my information to other scammy websites. Barely 3 hours after I was on the site I started getting phone calls from scams on the snagajob sites.
IMPORTANT: Once you create even a little bit of a profile on Snagajob it is impossible to remove your information from their website and you will never be able to remove yourself from their email spam lists. I have contacted them several times through several different ways of contact but I have be repeatedly been ignored. I have received no communication about deleting my information and I still continue to get spam and phone calls.
Dan says:

I’ve been with SnagAJob.com for about several years now. During those years, I have only received about 3-4 job from them. However many of those jobs that called me back where out of distance range. This means that I have to take the metra train just to work at Family dollar or McDonald just to spend extra money for the tickets, bus and other transportation to that job. And that is from Chicago, IL to Springfield, IL.
The jobs that is posted on Snagajob is real. However, now that I’m sitting at home filling out jobs applications, I’ve notice some jobs are opted people out of the application just because of the zip code. The jobs that I’ve filled out that is only five miles away from my home have opted me out of the job application just because of my zip code. They didn’t even get to see about my education, skills or even training I’ve received.
What Snagajob have to do is tag out the companies that isn’t really hiring people and listed those that want the WHOLE applicant’s resume and online form.
November 26th, 2011 at 7:21 pm
This Website is useless and unreliable. Every time I ever used this website I found the job listings available in my area were outdated and weren’t actually hiring in real life. While filling out applications I would get many ads popping up. They would blow up my emailI sending 5-10 emails a day about jobs not even in my area and or state or just some random ad in the email. I sent in many applications in the time period I used this website and never got one response. This website is not secure. It might look like it legit but I wouldn’t trust it and use it ever again.

November 25th, 2011 at 6:41 pm
This site is not secure at all if you apply it will be easy for someone to steal your identity
November 21st, 2011 at 3:51 pm
I signed up about 3 weeks ago and thought this site would actually pair me up with actual employers who were actually hiring. After about 40 apps. and NO phone calls{except from COLLEGE RECRUITERS} i have determined that this site really blows…..i don’t think the apps. i filled out went anywhere.This site had me excited.Now just frustrated
Stephanie says:
December 22nd, 2011 at 6:34 pm
I feel the exact same way. I’ve signed up a couple of weeks ago and ever since then, i’ve been getting phone calls from college recruiters myself but i’m already in college. So i personally think this site is a waste of time if you ask me.
November 21st, 2011 at 2:44 pm
We receive a ton of applications through our advertisement on Snag A Job, but barely 10% are completely filled out, or pass the 30 minute quiz that is a requirement prior to being selected for an interview.
Of this 10% about 5% will show up for the interview. Of this 5% we may be able to come out of it with 1 hire.
If you are really trying to get a job: Try filling out the ENTIRE application. Or using proper grammar, NOT TEXT MESSAGING. Also, try to fancy up the app a bit with better terms than “I was fired”, or McDonalds “laid me off” (we all know you mean they fired me). Make the application believable and if you are worth hiring you will be hired. If you continue to make yourself look bad then your parents will continue to be on your ass about why it is you can’t find a job. Find someone over 40 and have a conversation with them, you might learn something.

As someone who usually puts much effort into all job applications, I found myself trying to skip personal information as I was filling out snagajob’s general “application.” I did this as it became apparent that everything I wrote down would be solicited to third parties and the SPAM that would follow.
I was expecting to be redirected afterwards to the company’s actual website and job application, where I could write everything I wanted. But no.
I would highly recommend employers find a different site to hire from. The ad blasts we receive when attempting to apply make it impossible for job seekers to apply as they normally would. I had to fill out information about Disney World in the middle of my application! There are many more reputable job sites out there and I for one will be using them instead.
Many jobs are not active, legit, or cut applicants off because of their zip code. Bottom line is I don’t see why any employer would bother forcing applicants to go through this hell unless they are getting paid for it.

I find that filling out generic past job forms when you have a nicely crafted resume to be very frustrating, because you can’t really talk about what your job was or what you did. Most of of us who are staying gainfully employed have a variety of skill sets that are not cookie cutter.
When I attempt to submit my resume into their text area, it just turns into a single text blob that looks like rubbish, and makes me look bad. That’s bad coding on their part, and I don’t think its fair to blame the user of the site.
I get interviews fast with my resume, when it isn’t trashed, based on that resume, if my skill set is in the ball park of the interviewing company. I just haven’t been able to relocate to the regions they needed me for so far.
So, I agree with your complaints, but I think it is also unfair if snagajob’s site isn’t very friendly for submitting your resume.
November 18th, 2011 at 4:23 pm
This site does have legitimate jobs but while you complete your profile, you are hit with many ads and “opportunities” to further your education or participate in surveys. If you have the patience to sit through all that, go for it. Just make sure you uncheck mark ALL boxes for unwanted information or else they will give your number to education centers and they will call you multiple times a day.

There are many local job postings on Snagajob, but I have not been able to get any of them through snagajob. When I call or go directly to the company, or go to their website, they say that they don’t have that job available, or that there are no jobs available. So where is snagajob coming up with these jobs????? It is a waste of your time.

November 15th, 2011 at 6:31 pm
Scamalamadingdong. Advertisers will never stop calling. I am now getting 4-10 calls per day at all hours. Snag a job clearly sells all info to anyone regardless of set-up prefs. Worthless site too, 50% or more of “jobs” listed are not real jobs or are work-at-home scams or simple phishing attempts. Worthless site. Way more trouble than it was worth and useless in a job search.
November 11th, 2011 at 6:03 pm
I tried to fill out an application on snagajob,they didnt give me but 44 min. Part of that was for some ad before they would let me go to application process. I really dont think this is a real job site,but a scam.And the next day some college ad called me.

You do not have to sign up with snagajob.com to get a job through them. You can apply to the jobs without signing up and never put your phone number online for just about anything anymore. Simply use an email because the employers reply through email most of the time now.

SnagAJob is a complete waste of time! If you’re looking for a job, you will not get one from Snag a Job. My boyfriend and I just moved and have been putting in applications through SnagAJob for an entire month and neither of us has received one call back. Today I called one of the places that I had put in an application for & they told me that they didn’t know anything about my application and that they have been doing interviews for a couple of weeks!?!?! Thanks a lot SnagaJob. Maybe you should change your website to Snag an unemployment check or Snag yourself some welfare. That’s about all you’re snagging anyone. :(

And no refunds period even if you only use part of the month. when I called to speak to an account exec, he told me too bad, so sad and wold not provide any refund despite the horrible service and only 1-2 responses per month. Here is the response I got from them:
We wanted to confirm the cancellation of your job posting plan on Snagajob. We’re sorry to see you go!
• Your plan was set to renew on 11/20/2011. Your cancellation will take effect on that date.
• Your jobs will be removed from Snagajob on that date. If you’d like to take down your postings sooner, just sign in to your account and close those jobs.
• Unfortunately, we cannot offer refunds for time remaining in a plan.

I personally think that it is a scam. I deleted all of my info (maybe too late). I could not find no “help” tab anywhere on the page. I would avoid this site. They want to know if you have a valid DL number and life insurance. Why?? It is also as if you are filling out an application with them and the employer site. Again why?? I say red flag!!!!!!!!!! .

Someone needs to put this up nationally. ya right hahahaha! i’ve had nothing but trouble with snagajob. i still dont have a job i still get e-mails and phone calls from industries i did not apply to; i’m not qualified for and am sick of hearing from. the sheer volume of inconvience, wasted, resources and all around bu’haukey is terible.
in this economy people need REAL OPROTUNITIES not waste of personal resources. time runs out money runs out and we’re fighting stolen information from snagajob. i’ve put in appications for jobs that never hired me because the appilcation was not correct to the information i put in. pieces were missing or mixed up with other stuff. employeers see that and think i’m the flake not he new employee sheesh! everything i’ve read here except for miz sales pitch is so true. why don’t we have away of busting snagajob for this kind of misery?

Hello my name is Saundre Hill i have been a member since 2005 or 2006 and have never got a job through snagajob.. Recently i just found out why..I have a friend trying to get me a job and have the resources to look up applications and she told me that i havent applied..So i did it again using snagajob and believe it or not it, it wasnt an application on file for me so i went to the website for company and put in my real application and it went through, it said it didnt have me in the system.. So what you should do is make sure the company received the application..Thank you
October 28th, 2011 at 9:41 am
It has red flags all over it. When I was asked to give them information to register, I closed the window and went directly to the company’s website that I wanted to apply for a job. Most companies now have a way to apply online. Cut out the middle man and apply direct. Great place for leads though.
October 21st, 2011 at 12:35 pm
I have NEVER been so frustrated by any job search engine as I have with SnagaJob. They suck. I have emailed them several times to reset my password and have not heard anything from them—we’re talking about weeks, not days! I’ve even tried closing my account in order to start a new one (at their website’s suggestion) and still nothing!!!!!
How are you supposed to find a job when the search engine the company is using is so awful?
October 19th, 2011 at 1:20 pm

When I first applied to snagajob, they never ask for my ssn. The website and any other job online site would ask the job seeker basic contact information, location, job experience and job skills. So whatever scam snagajob website that you’ve been on is a fake. The only place that you can used your ssn is when applying at the companies main kiosk websites or inside at the company main entrance.
Always look at the address bar (Search)menu and you will see the company name and online application address on it.

My wife is using the site to find local employment. She did get an interview set up after four days of using the site.
Unfortunately, we now are getting 6-8 calls a day from companies selling everything from extended education to insurance to Department of Labor signs. Also, a couple of very strange calls I could only classify as pfishing calls since they hang up within seconds of you picking up. Taxing my caller ID to the max… Thank goodness for websites like whocallsme.com. I had to make her up a list of numbers not to pick up on. It’s getting tiring. I wish she would have stuck to Career Builder.
My advice – stick to Monster and Career Builder. This site seems to have found a novel way to increase revenue – by selling your phone number.

This web site is very legit. I have recieved calls from the applications I have placed through this websight however I have yet to get the job. I give it a three star rating for because as some have mentioned they do need to update the site more often. I give it a higher rating when it comes to listings though. It gives you listing of jobs that you do not typically find on higher end sites so it is a great way to find entry level and student jobs or if you’re desperate and just need a job. It could be improved in several areas but over all it is real the jobs are real. If you do not want to apply through the website it at least lets you know who is hiring in your area.

Asking for a SSN is necessary for certain things, but no way I’d include it on an unsecure website.
Kinda reminds me of the close I used to use while doing mortgage originations, “I just need to pull your credit to do a loan analysis…what’s your social?”
Jane says:
November 16th, 2011 at 6:41 pm
Even though you state they are legit, no one should ever ask for your social security number unless they have just hired you. So I would advise people to just get the names and addresses off their site and apply directly to them.
September 24th, 2011 at 12:47 pm
I have been trying for two fields of jobs with Snagajob over the last 6 months and have not received anything yet, other than one from the 1 of perhaps 30 applications I have submitted, stating I wasn’t what Sears was looking for at this time.
I like how the site works, but I am rather disappointed in having received not one call or interview at this time. I’m going to continue to use it. Perhaps it is the area, but I’m simply looking for an entry level job of any basic sort (a “McJob” if you will) or with my degree which is only an Associates, which of course isn’t great, but I can’t afford to do more with education at this time. It’s simply a burden. If I had that McJob, I’d go for it! I can’t put more into paying off loans!
Anyway, give it a chance. I have decided to grab some old-school paper applications and try that way. I have a feeling more small town employers like that authentic feel than checking some sort of an account and reading through digital copies.

Dee says:
October 10th, 2011 at 8:39 am
It’s not a scam. There are tons of people that have gotten jobs from this site. When you sign up and create a profile, it asks if you want to further your education and to fill out your info to be called. You probably just didn’t read it right. When you apply and go through the questions, make sure your spelling and your punctuation is decent. I’m sure you’ll find one this way. Good luck.
September 21st, 2011 at 8:58 pm
I too thought this site was a scam I put in 40 apps and didn’t hear a word. Then 2 weeks later I’m getting a call from a well known retail store wanting to do an interview- so its legit just be careful for what you apply for
September 14th, 2011 at 2:29 pm
I signed up on the site today. Then less than an hour after I created my profile I got a phone call from a spammer. I didn’t actually get to answer it, but I googled the number since it was out of state and it’s a spammer that calls trying to get you to either send him a check or give out personal info. I have NEVER received a spammer or telemarketer phone call on this line and what are the odds that hours after creating my profile they start coming in.
September 12th, 2011 at 11:49 am
I used to have snagajob send me e-mails – nothing ever happened. I am looking for a job again, and I checked it out on BBB. They are not accredited (which is not necessary), but it had some VERY bad reports. If you are checking this company out, BE CAREFUL! It may be legit, but I would be very wary about giving out personal info. There are many other reputable companies you can sign up with and you are not required to give out personal info until the actual job interview. I am staying with companies not requiring such personal info (i.e., indeed, simply hired, etc.). Before you sign up with ANYONE
September 10th, 2011 at 9:32 pm
Who the hell is “Snagajob” to say I’m not qualified for a position?
I’m really starting to think “Snagajob” is not legitimate. I spent 15 minutes filling out a job application and submitted only to receive a message stating “sorry, but you don’t meet the qualifications for this position” immediately after! Shouldn’t that be up to the actual employer?! I truly don’t like wasting my time…I will go to the hiring company’s site directly in the future. I am a veteran with an Associate’s Degree and working on a Bachelor’s at Old Dominion University. I think I can handle a retail job at Tuesday Morning!!!
Kim says:

Snagajob works in such a way that the employer is the one putting their information on the site. They put certain expectations and flag for certain things. You may be too qualified. Sounds ridiculous, I know, but a lot of companies (cough*target*cough) would rather hire people without college degrees because the likelihood they will leave for another job in much lower. Just a thought.
September 8th, 2011 at 7:55 pm
Snagajob is a real, legitimate multi-million dollar corporation. Do a little research on the actual organization before you go trying to drag its name through the mud. They aren’t just some random website. They have 400 employees. They have over 3,000 customers. Perhaps the reason you can’t even get a job has more to do with your lack of skills and education than the site.

I have had a snagajob account since 2009 and I have never been contacted by any employers it is such a total waste of time!!!!!

So if all these complaints are piling up, then why doesn’t someone do something about this stupid site, cause me myself have never had any luck with this hideous job site. I put in applications for over a year and have never ever ever got a response, and with the experience I have for the jobs and positions I’v applied to, makes me know this job site is bogus and a waste of peoples time, so why not elimainate it ,cause nobody seems to be benefiting from it. All the reviews I have read is all so true about this site. I say dunk it and chunk it. Snag a job sux.

I filled out an online target application through snag a job. I had compared it to the in-store application. exact same. Only difference- mine wanted my mother’s maiden name. i was going to put wrong name,but i thought if they run background check it won’t be the same. so now they have all my info. it wasn’t until i had submitted it that google pops up saying it’s an identity theft site-248.e.akamai.net I sent emails telling them what happened and what are they going to do about it. no response. so now i have had my personal info stolen off of the snag a job website
August 28th, 2011 at 7:45 pm
Every time i fill out the application it keeps saying for completing the application when i haven’t began . then i get E-Mails saying i need to finish the application. I had to re-do an application 3 times in one day . and i’m still receiving E-Mails to complete the application. So i go back to finish and it reads you have already applied for the job.

Hello all! Snagajob is one of the very best resources I have ever used to get the best fit employees. Yes, they do call asking to just LEARN about your hiring process and to SEE if this program they now have for you brand (you should be grateful for this very reason) would be beneficial. According to some very nice sales representatives from the site, they have a really great background in the hourly employment industry and work with corporate partnership with big brands such as Chic-Fil-A and Pizza Hut. The company culture seems fantastic and they really explain their offerings in great detail. After signing up with SAJ, i’ve received some of the best applicants I have ever come across.
In addition, please remember that by calling you and being persistent, they are still just trying to help. According to one employee, the way their system works, they are given some basic information and they have to schedule their calls accordingly, just politely tell them to reach back out in a few months and they will comply.
I encourage any successful business owner with the desire to build their employee team with highly skilled, competent works, to use SAJ. Though there is a cost, this program essentially pays for itself over and over again. Thank you! Rock on SAJ!

Oh come on Sandy, everyone just stated they received unwanted phone calls and unwanted emails so obviously snagajob is selling the information. And just as obvious is the fact that you probably work for them and were paid to give such a rave review.

How much did they pay you to say all of that? Good lord your not giving a review your giving a sales pitch.
August 28th, 2011 at 1:23 pm
SO FAR I HAVE NO REGRETS,BUT IM STILL LOOKING FOR WORK,IN THE JOLIET AREA.
August 26th, 2011 at 2:18 pm
I too have noticed pop-ups, and that I do not hear from prospective places that I apply to.
August 26th, 2011 at 12:25 pm
SNAGAJOB IS AWFUL. WE TRIED TO ADVERTISE ON THEIR AND THEN GOT BOMBARDED WITH SALES CALLS TELLING US TO PAY THEM FOR SOME SUBSCRIPTION THAT WE HAD NO INTEREST IN. WE HAVE ASKED THEM ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO STOP CALLING US AS THEY ARE DISRUPTING OUR BUSINESS, THEY REFUSE AND KEEP CALLING US ASKING TO GIVE THEM MONEY. WE ARE NOW TALKING WITH AN ATTORNEY ABOUT MONETARY DAMAGES FROM THE HARASSMENT AND DISRUPTION OF EMPLOYEES AS THEY WILL NOT REFRAIN FROM CALLING. OUR ATTORNEY SAID HE WILL POSSIBLY CONTACT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AS WELL.
THEY ARE AWFUL AND WILL NOT STOP CALLING DESPITE THE REQUESTS BY US TO STOP HARASSING US WITH THEIR CALLS. STAY AWAY FROM THEM, THEY ARE HORRIBLE TO DEAL WITH. HOPEFULLY WHEN THE LEGAL SYSTEM GETS INVOLVED THEY WILL GET FINED HARSHLY OR SHUTDOWN.
I TELL EVERYONE I CAN HOW ROTTEN THEY HAVE BEEN TO DEAL WITH. WHEN SOMEONE TELLS YOU TO STOP CALLING AND YOU DON’T, THAT IS HARASSMENT. WE NOW HAVE MONETARY DAMAGES THAT ARE ADDING UP AS A RESULT.

These people are annoying with their phone calls. Apparently they don’t know what “don’t call me again” means. Stay clear of this company.

Every time I try to apply for a job yes the pop ups come up and I am thankful due to I had already blocked my number from soliciters but a few got through the cracks so every time I got the call for education I blocked it, so I havent received anymore education calls. But that’s not what i’m upset about. Its the application for snag a job.
You have to put in your SSI resume then I was under the impression that they would transfer the info to jobs but NOT. You also have to fill out the employers application and the beginning you have to put in your SSI. This is way too much info to have to keep putting your info out there for scammers to steal your idenity. It should be illegal to have to apply to a job online with personal info. The only time the SSI should be on an application is when you get the face to face interview. Who knows how many people have access to the work computer to steal their info? ALWAYS CALL EQUAFAX TO BLOCK YOUR SSI BEFORE PUTTING YOUR SSI, DRIVERS LIC, ECT OUT THERE ITS GOOD FOR 3 MONTHS BUT ITS WORTH IT AND THEY INFORM ALL CREDIT FRAUD COMPANYS AND ITS FREE
what ever happened to face to face interviews? The only way im going to get a job is by printable applications until they stop having you put in your personal information out there

I hated using this job site because after every single page it seemed, there was another ad, and they are always set up to look like part of the application process. Monster and Career do it too. That kind of thing should be illegal
August 16th, 2011 at 7:39 pm
I have used the Snag a Job for several years. It has gotten me nowhere. There’s always a zinger in the links and they don’t work or something is wrong with the pages. You can’t get any viable link with them. It is a waste of time horsing around with it. I have never gotten anything of value in regards to a job or possibility of a job.It is not organized right to be able to use it. I agree with the person who said that the Phoenix is the way to go. I’ve already got two degrees and am 68 yrs. old. I do not need any more education, JUST a job, thank you.
August 10th, 2011 at 11:20 am
Well after filling out the numerous questions they ask you on SnagaJob.com. I as well never have recived a phone call from one SOB. But I did get calls from people looking for me to further my education and emails from everyone looking for me to buy crap that I can’t afford nor want. So I say DO NOT USE SnagaJob.com

I am an independent recruiter owner/operator of a small business seeking sales reps (entry level through experienced). I posted a job listing and I received 1 response from someone who was employed who was just checking the waters and not seriously seeking a position.
Here’s the kicker, Snag a Job calls a few weeks later and claims someone else from my company opened an account with them. I explained I was a “company” of 2 people – myself and an admin person assuring them we did not open a second account. Snag A Job could not tell me who was allegedly using my company name because it was “confidential” and kept asking for a credit card to pay $500 to keep my account open.
Sounds like a scam to entrap small business owners and create a sense of panic to increase revenues. In my opinion a business owner is better off spending the same money on a more reputable search engine line CareerBuilder, Monster, or Linked In.
So job seekers, any legitimate business folks are not going to have the time to play the Snag A Job Game and will not invest money into listing on a job board that does not produce viable results.

I disrespect snagajob and tell everybody that I know to not use them. I had to apply for a job through snagajob and start getting calls from 800 numbers and because I was not answering it they used my local number to call twice a day and even on Saturdays they call me and I ask them not to call but they do not care. I think they use call centers in India and get super aggressive Indian man leaving long messages. I have prepaid phone and have to pay to listen to their messages. They do not stop calling me. How awful is that? I will not buy anything from people who stole my number
July 22nd, 2011 at 6:53 pm
There is an option to delete your profile if you happen to get caught up in this scam. Though I’ve requested mine to be taken off, they have seemingly ignored the request. I finally got my number taken off the continuing education list, and was called by yet another caller who leaves no message and calls multiple times with a different area code…it never ends. DO NOT USE snagajob.

I signed my husband up on Snagajob and he completed several applications. He got a call one day from someone saying “hey Joe, I’d like to set up an interview with you tomorrow at 2pm”. My husband was driving on the freeway at the time the girl called so he told her to text him the info. She didn’t text him the company name, just the address. So we looked up the address and come to find out it was a scam tactic run by Primerica trying to get my husband to come in and pull the ole pyramid scam thing on him. He text her back and said thanks but no thanks and she STILL tried to convince him that it was a legit interview. So beware! I’m now convinced she got his contact info from snagajob.
July 15th, 2011 at 1:11 pm
yeah people keep calling from 8am to 10pm…… Snagajob is just bad news
July 14th, 2011 at 11:46 am
I am part of a legitimate restaurant franchise using snagajob.com to hire hourly employees. For this purpose, it is very effective. I receive far more qualified applicants via snagajob than say a posting on Craigslist. Yes, there are a lot of surplus opportunities to sign up for on snagajob which becomes a bit of a nuisance to applicants. However you can simply hit the skip button at the bottom of these ads and continue on with the application. Ulitmately, it’s all about getting a job. We have hired many people from this service, so don’t worry about using it if that is what your intentions are.

Hitting skip usually just kicked me out of the process. Thanks for the backhanded help, though.
July 9th, 2011 at 12:30 pm
Most definitely a scam. Don’t do it.
June 25th, 2011 at 2:14 pm
The system doesn’t generate a unique user profile URL identifier which means it isn’t set up to disperse your data. Instead it is designed to LOOK LIKE it’s set up to disburse your data but in fact is all about getting you to read the ads that pop up in between every action. This took me about an hour to figure out. An of my life wasted. What’s more I got to the snagajob site by responding to a Craig’s list ad for a writing job. Which I believe in and of itself was a scam to get me to spend some quality time on this fraud of a job seeker site.
The whole operation stinks, is taking advantage of our desperate economy and the unemployed jumping through whatever new media hoops in order to get a bite on our lines.
Shameful. Terribly so.
June 14th, 2011 at 10:46 am
NOTICE- SNAG A JOB IS A FAKE AND FRAUD! Buyer beware! Once you post a resume your information will be sold to telemarketers, and you will be called day and night. Snagajob will receive a big surprise soon from me after all the details are worked out. It’s called a lawsuit. So just keep on doing what your doing you morons
June 4th, 2011 at 3:41 pm
This website really needs to update the offers they show. I called several jobs to ask and see if they were hiring and that I got the information from snagajob and they had no idea what I was talking about and were in fact, NOT hiring.
May 29th, 2011 at 4:13 pm
I have applied to dozens of jobs over the past year and I have not been called once from either snag a job or a position I applied for. They send me an e-mail a day showcasing job opportunities but not one of them has gone through. I’m unsure if Snag a job even sends my application to the the employer. Best to apply the old fashioned way.
May 26th, 2011 at 10:03 am
I hate having to apply on-line for a job. So many places say they hire through snag a job. The only responses I get are calls from university of phoenix wanting me to further my education or unable to finish an application or told when I make an appearance at a business that they are not hiring now. I’m so sick of all the bull one has to go through to try to find a job. I’ve pretty much quit looking. Seems such a waste of time for me and every one I talk to in the process. What is this country coming to? All I want is a simple job in the restaurant business or retail. Why is that so hard to do? Way too many places telling one how to do a resume etc. What is the big deal about even having a resume? Or is it all about government control and places and people getting ones private information?
February 25th, 2011 at 3:41 pm
I think they need to update their offerings more often. I just called on one that had at least 3 job postings. The manager said they do not have any openings at this time. Also, it claims that most Starbucks in our area are hiring. I find that very hard to believe so I called one. The manager said “they are accepting applications.” That didn’t exactly answer my question.
February 15th, 2011 at 7:52 pm
I found a job first hit on snaga job very satisfied with it
January 6th, 2011 at 5:07 am
Snagajob also sells your information to telemarketers. I filled out a few applications on the site, and I ended up getting calls from a company called Career Advisor. They would call non-stop! Be careful about the info you post on there.
