Professional and trustworthy

I have undertaken a number of research assignments with IvyExec. They all have been extremely well managed and professional. They provided all the information before assignment. The interview were conducted very professionally.

The process is simple and payment is fast. I would recommend IvyExec for interested people.

I recently participated in a Research Study with HR Professionals and Leaders. The Ivy Exec team was professional, kind and able to answer all my questions around the process. It was a fun experience, I enjoy share ideas and what is currently happening in the market place. Milo organised it well and Liz the mediator was a pleasure to work with. My exposure thus far have been 5 star all the way!

Great Team and well organised

I have been working with them as a professional independent panelist for survey's and market insights and have enjoyed being involved in some of the topics. They are well organised and work with some high profile clients cant fault them. I only wish I could be involved with more of the studies they work on.

Would Not Recommend

Would Not Recommend

This company routinely send me telephone consulting assignment intros asking that I complete a screening questionnaire. IMHO it is apparent from the questionnaires that the assignments aren't real and what they are doing a data gathering for their own or clients market research. Nothing ever comes from the assignments.

I also note a great deal of similarity in their 5* reviews which I simple don't experience, and they have at the time of writing 17% 1* reviews which is quite high.

I reckon this organisation is not bona-fide and suggest to give it a wide berth.

And I think their feedback also misses the points made above

Dear Peter, many thanks for your feedback. We do not sell your personal information to third parties - ever. Ivy Exec is committed to respecting the privacy of our users and providing a safe and secure experience for all professionals, employers, and parties researching our Expert Network.

We understand that our selection process was frustrating to you and we apologize for that. I'd be happy to briefly walk you through it: after you completed a survey, your profile is presented to the clients, and later in the process, they decide with whom they want to proceed. Sometimes, it happens that people participate in a lot of surveys before they are called for an actual interview because there are many factors involved in the recruitment process. This usually relates to the experts' industry, type of company, function, or daily tools used. Sometimes the client is very strict about the study's criteria, so the surveys are more extensive than the others.

I hope this was helpful!

P.S. We have a very strict Privacy Policy that you may refer to here: https://www.ivyexec.com/professionals/page/privacy-policy!

Ivy Exec Changing After Lawsuit?

Honestly, I have heard mix reviews of Ivy Exec among the NYC crowd.

It recently appears the company has focused more on webinars, educational services and other value-added service with lots of excellent customer reviews.

On the other hand, last year, the New York crowd spoke about a Jalal V. Bajic, Ivy Exec lawsuit. Malek Jalal of Unity Fuels used to be chairman of Ivy Exec, used to be married to current CEO Elena Bajic, and served time?

From what I can see, after this lawsuit, Ivy Exec now focuses less on recruiting and more on value-added service. This goes in line to my experience and some other experiences that found this company unsatisfactory recruiting, and leader Elena Bajic had no Wall Street finance experience as many of my peers.

My own experience was impressed by the office, decorations in-person and online, and the style of the company. However, I did find some behaviour off-putting. I also notice the reviews on BBB, Yelp, Glassdoor changed from "F" to "A" in this last year. I can give the benefit of the doubt and suggest it was to different business operations.

Participated in a study

Participated in a study. Thought it may be a scam as it offered $400 for an hour. Low and behold it was 100% true. Got my $400 amazon gift card and got a free remote start for my car!!! I'll continue to look for opportunities for research studies with them! The compensation is excellent and they pull through.

Spammer and naive finder

IVY EXEC is an insistent spammer and attempts to receive incomes from naive and inexperienced candidates who believe CV is the main and only factor of employment.
If you are professional and meet their adviser your first impression is repetitive business words all around and concealed message to pay for consultancy of improvement your CV to get a better-gurranted job.
If the world was ideal, it might work and all could have a good job despite their real competencies.
A bad experience is that if you apply and register your account once for their job offering, it is impossible to delete your account what is against the GDPR rules.
