Pros This is a handy and useful software program. I have enjoyed how quick and easy it is to use. Cons Nothing. I have been very impressed with this software. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. AU Anonymous User Technical sales Pharmaceuticals ### "User with only limited experience" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 2.0 2.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 4/10 March 19, 2019 Frankly spoken, my experience is very limited. The few times I've been surfing the site, I was interested. But I have not really used the application for the reasons it is designed for. Pros It allows viewing positions in many countries, thus gives a good overview about possibilities more or less worldwide. Cons It is not always evident to understand whether an announcement is useful or not. Although I live in Belgium, I got a mail announcement for a position in the Philippines; even today, I'm ignorant whether the Pilippino office seeks an expatriate or not.

All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor February 15, 2019 Unfortunately, LinkedIn removed the option to automatically import CV information so there's not much we could do about that...
