A well-known brand in the UK, Jobserve staked its claim in North America last year, followed by a few acquisitions and a headquarters in Cleveland. So far, their efforts have been more cup o’ tea than frat house kegger.

Now, when I get anonymous blog comments, I typically laugh them off or dismiss them altogether, as they’re usually pretty bush league. However, some are clearly heartfelt and honest. So, when I recently received the one below, complete with a Cleveland IP address, I couldn’t help but think things might be a bit amiss at Jobserve.us.

Decide for yourself:

Again, a disappointing, poor performance by Jobserve’s executives, board members, technical VP’s, technical directors, technical managerss, project managers and programmers for the so-called product that they introduced to the United States of America. This so-called conversion has been in the works for one year and there should not be so many problems and issues and HUGE glaring mistakes.

This gives the impression that Jobserve does not know what is going on with their so-call US Jobserve site or maybe JOBSERVE just does not care about the US Division but rather only lining its pockets with US DOLLARS. Does JobServe expect that paying clients in the United States will continue to pay for such an all time-consuming and useless product?

On Dice or Monster job boards and numerous other job boards, a paying client can review 20-40 resumes and determine which one they want to download and then download the resumes compared to just trying to open and view one (1) candidate resume from Jobserve. In other words it takes one click from Dice or Monster and other job boards to review and download compared to Jobserve’s 6 clicks per candidate and you may or may not be able to review all the candidate information. Hummm. . . . another example of a time-consuming, useless product.

Every client paying for Jobserve’s services should write in to explain how many problems and issues they have had with this product. Maybe then you might get inspired to resolve all of the huge time-consuming issues and problems with so-called JOB SERVE US.

Our organization was told, “Well the candidates really loves this website.” If this is so, then why doesn’t Jobserve have the candidates pay for the use of this site instead of the current paying clients, because if you did, you would have a mob of candidates searching you down to get their money back. Hummm, maybe Jobserve should give back all the money that they took from paying client’s within the United States for Jobserve’s inability to provide a usable product.

Damn!

Now, remember, this is an anonymous comment, so take it for what it’s worth. However, what we do know is Jobserve-owned CareerBoard (my former employer) has been a well-loved brand in Cleveland going back to the ’90s. And since the acquisition, few visible updates have occurred (the footer copyright date hasn’t even been updated to 2007). Thus, it would come as no surprise to see loyal users, hungry for the latest bells and whistles, taking their frustrations out on the absentee landlords.

Cleveland Tea Party anyone?
