I have spent a lot of money with Bark replying to so called leads. These people never replied to my tenders and despite following up never got a reply. I mistakenly persevered but got to the stage enough was enough. Complained to Bark several times and eventually I decided to leave. Not one job in 5 years. I got more requests for employment and that cost me credits as they were coming through as leads. Customer Service was rubbish and despite many complaints, all Bark did was offer me 5 free replies which would have been used up in no time with the same result. Tender offered, no reply. Free responses wasted. These people are taking it in for a service they can't provide. AVOID at all costs.

I made a huge mistake and got on a 6 month contract with BARK at $500 a month, after 6 months they kept billing me anyway and I ended up with over 5000 credits.
I own a talent agency with 1700 acts. Went through the entire 4000 credit submitting to "gig alerts"
Only got contact back 4 times and never once got a booking.
RUN AWAY!
Then they took my money and cancelled the credits
*******386 credits expired
