Ivy Exec

I had a nice experience working with the folks at Ivy. They were courteous and professional throughout the interview process. The only thing that would have made it better would have been some followup after the actual interview.

Ok, this company is a scam from top to bottom. I recieved the same email several other people has mentioned, targetting MBAs, offering hand-picked jobs.

So I decided to join, since they offered a free month if you add your credit card, so I emptied one card and put it in. The emails that I got, with the supposed "hand-picked" jobs are ridiculously bad.

One they sent me was "Product Manager" for Yahoo, so I was intrigued, and clicked apply, at which point they send me to yahoo´s own career page that is open to anyone, and this was the only job that was even close to match my experience. Others were CEO of this, and Director of that, all of which needs 10-20 years experience when I specifically told them in my profile that I have maybe 3 years tops.

The only way they make money, is by people forgetting to cancel the membership and have to pay the monthly auto-renewed fee.

The site is a scam to get you to join their free trial membership and then auto join you to a 3 month subscription. By the time you realize you've been charged the grace period for cancellation has passed and they are only willing to credit you back the additional 2 months which were charged at the discounted rate and hold back the first month at the full rate. They are in the business of collecting 1 month full fee's from unsuspecting business people. The site doesn't provide any additional value to those you get for free (ie. LinkedIn, Indeed, etc...). DO NOT SUBSCRIBE even for the free trial.

I loved my time with Ivy Exec. I was with them for about 4 months after I lost my last job. They were incredibly helpful and gracious. It took a little longer than I had expected to actually land a job, but despite that, I really enjoyed the service.

I canceled my subscription after I got my current job, but when I'm in the market again, I will definitely come back.

The only service provided me by IvyExec so far is a review of my resume. The individual I spoke with provided direct and specific guidance on how to get my resume noticed and read. I agreed with and implemented the changes Now, all I can do is wait and see if I get a better "hit" rate than before.

Had a mentorship call through their Mentor network. Now I know what I should do at my job to get ahead. I'm going to follow up with my new advisor over Skype and phone as their system was hard to use, but there would be no way I could get access to my new mentor otherwise. My 2 cents.

The time was well spent with questions concerning protection of confidential information. The interviewer asked very good questions that were spot on the issue. She developed subsequent questions that brought the true problem and consequences to light.

Another shady internet operation preying of job hunters. Ivyexec acts as a middle man, scraping job postings from different websites and reposting them under their own banner. And try to sell you a membership to their 'premium' plan.

It was a pleasure speaking with and participating on the review team for Ivy Exec. We spoke about monitor screen protectors and the frequency of use in my office and company. The review process was seamless and scheduled easily, accordingly to my availability. I look forward to more opportunities to work with Ivy Exec.

This has been my first personal encounter with your Ivy Exec, business organization.

Quite frankly, I could not be more pleased or satisfied with the entire experience, and the very professional response I received from my inquiry and exploratory contact with your
Service representative --- "Kevin K".

Kevin was prompt and through in answering my telephone call and providing the exploratory information I needed related to an executive employment search I was interested in pursuing. I think Kevin represented your organization well in this particular matter and he should be commended as well.

I initially signed up for Ivy Exec a few years ago, and didn't actually enjoy it very much. However, last month I signed up again, and I have to say the website has really changed, for the better!
They've expanded their offerings, and I'm very satisfied with their offerings.

I think Nii was probably the best person I could have spoken to. He was very professional and took the time to discuss what I would like for the next stage of my career. Then, he used that to tailor my resume using language that would catch the attention of recruiters. This was great help!

I was pleased with the assistance that Kevin M. Ko provided to me when I experienced some difficulty navigating the website. He understood exactly what I was describing and resolved the situation. I appreciated his help.

Good to relate the theory to a practical situation at hand in the case study and then reviewing the overall satisfaction of customers visiting the banking website. I enthusiastically look forward to participating more in research studies in the near future.

I was looking for a job in marketing and stumbled on one of Ivy Exec's jobs on Indeed. It ended up not working out with that particular job but I found a few other leads in my specific area of marketing. I, for one, had a good experience.

I got a 6 month free pass through grad school. The jobs listed are awful and not MBA type jobs, so i didnt use it. Then of course after the 6 months was up they charged my credit card $160. I tried to contact them to get it straightened out but there is no phone number on the website. In order to contact them you must write in an email and they are supposed to contact you. I have written two over the past two months and have not been contacted by them.

Dont waste your time with this site.

Had an interaction with Nii Ato.
Very professional and courteous - provided some good feedback for my CV also.
If it was only he, would have given 5 stars.

They had a lady presenting a webinar on interview handling techniques- was a pretty dismal show. She sent a chapter of one of her books - which had a couple of grammar/spelling mistakes and seemed very over the top.
She takes away the one star.

I recently had my resume reviewed by an IvyExec Career Advisor via phone. I have worked in Human Resources/Recruiting roles and have seen tons of good and bad resume examples. So, I was confident my resume was good, but there is always room for improvement. It was incredibly helpful to have an IvyExec resume expert provide honest feedback and evaluate how I can improve my resume to better communicate my story.

The Advisor was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and he showed genuine interest in where I wanted to take my career next. He provided specific suggestions on how to showcase my experiences and insights on the industry I wanted to shift my career to. In addition, he even offered to review my resume again after I made changes to make sure I was on the right track.

Overall, I had a fantastic experience with the resume critique and highly recommend this IvyExec service!

The things I found most helpful about ivyexec.com are their webinars. We need to adapt to new trends in business all the time. Everything from writing resumes to behaviour changes constantly, so I need to stay up-to-date. I usually get the information I need through those webinars and I consider them to be a "must watch" for every serious businessperson. I'm also thinking about having my own mentor and ivyexec has a lot of them so I won't have any problems in choosing one.

My friend told me about the site a while back after I got laid off from my previous job. The main benefit I got out of this site was that when I connected my LinkedIn account with it, I was able to see who in my network worked at the company that posted the job. I just reached out to my network and eventually found a job. I didn't use the site otherwise but I'm glad that in a way it helped me get a job.

I was interviewed about my experience with my gas grill. Everyone was great throughout the process and I really enjoyed the actual interview. Most importantly they didn't waste my time and kept to the subject. I would highly recommend them!

Their survey method is a good experience. They call you at a set time and you talk with a person answering their questions. This survey process is much easier and convenient than most.
I highly recommend participating.

I thought the researcher affiliated with Ivy Exec's market research team were very professional. I was happy to provide my insight on the subject under discussion. The only thing I can suggest is to possibly provide a little bit of info on the subject prior to having the phone discussion with the research rep.
