I have now used BetterPlaced twice. Neither by choice, both times because it happened to be them who contacted me about a specific role. I interviewed on both occasions and was given good feedback after the interview, on one occasion resulting in a job offer, on the other a second interview. However left in their hands for a few days they managed to get both rescinded before I could accept or take the application to the next stage. From a candidate point of view they come across as pushy, dishonest, uncommunicative, impolite and not particularly knowledgeable. From a employer side I can only imagine they are saying the right things but creating genuine barriers from some good companies getting good candidates by a complete unwillingness to allow the candidates to express their interest and thoughts directly to those wishing to employ them.
I would approach them with extreme caution from either side and certainly as a candidate would not be trusting them again.
