Waste of $ for 3 reasons:

1. The ‘candidate database’ they promise to feature you in is never really used by reputable HHs; LinkedIn is the core up-to-date candidate-search tool they focus on (ie on top of industry network ofc)

2. The ‘professional webinars’ they offer are of of invariably subpar quality; more of a sales tool to generate leads (for commission) for different 3rd-party service providers such as resume writers

3. Other tools and sources are all outdated and clunky, offering little value; an in-indepth refresh and major investment needed to make it worthwhile

Good luck!
