Review Time
Paid for LinkedIn Optimization and GatedTalent Onboarding. (> $500)Was optimistic at first, because I was sent detailed questionnaires, which I took the time to respond to as completely as possible. It went downhill from there.Communication was poor, e-mails frequently went unanswered and when they were answered the response did not address the questions or issues. GatedTalent took great care to protect their phone number so that I would have that option.Work product was substandard and took twice as long as promised. They basically phoned it in, requiring me to do substantial work after they were done, in order to correct theirs. Planned to ignore it and move on, until I discovered they didn't even get my e-mail address correct and the website won't let me change it.EDIT: Apparently their reply is a suggestion that I contact the same Team Member who did such a poor job of communication to begin with. Ironically, I had already reached out to that person to get the e-mail issue corrected and rather than getting a response, I got passed on to a nameless entity at Customer Service. Which, I think, illustrates my point nicely.
It is not clear when you sign up that they will sell your data to third parties.Search for "Talentis do not sell my personal data" to see for yourself.I am also having difficulties finding out who they sold the data to (a right under GDPR) and they are requiring photo ID before acting on the GDPR rights to deletion, contrary to ICO guidance. All of the above is my opinion.Edit in response: I have contacted their data privacy officer who could easily have written back and said "we don't sell your personal data" if it were true, instead they have simply rejected my request and required photo ID. Future customers should be aware of this - you don't need to provide photo ID to sign up but you do to leave!Also a direct quote from their terms:"we may share your personal information with selected third parties, including:...Other members of the Dillistone Group PlcOur various third party partners, including advertisers"
The How to Build Your LI Profile Webinar is very helpful, it just felt a bit short on explanation and examples. I would recommend making it one hour long and taking more time to go thru the sections in detail and review more examples.
