Viamatch Bewertungen 15

We've been working with Via since the very beginning, which has been a great experience.

As a business that recruits regularly, we needed a solution that could keep up with our hiring demands without the cost and delays of traditional agencies.

The quality of candidates has been great, and what I've valued just as much is that the team actually listens and acts on feedback. In today's noisy recruitment market, Via is doing something different and I'd recommend them to any business looking for innovative ways to hire great talent at pace.

Via made the application process very easy. Within 5 minutes of creating an account, their system had already matched me with a role I was well suited to — one I couldn't find on other platforms like LinkedIn.

The platform is well designed with everything an applicant needs. Once more positions are listed on Via, I can really see it becoming the go-to place for job seekers.

Would absolutely recommend.

Viamatch posted a job listing on LinkedIn. It had only been up a singular day and my experience more than matches the given requirements. I clicked "Apply" but it led me to sign up for their platform. I was dubious and should have stopped immediately. It asked for way too many details, such as my full address (completely unnecessary - unless you're data mining). Then it said there are no matches. You cannot look at job listings or even verify they exist, largely because they probably don't exist at all.

If they did, why would I not be able to apply to the job listed on LinkedIn.

If this isn't a complete scam, they're having people sign up to a website with no jobs so that they can show numbers to employers (B2B sales) so they will pay to list jobs on their platform.

They claim this "our platform looks a little different, blah blah blah..." nonsense to obfuscate the truth. That there are no jobs available.

Essentially, I suspect they are lying to users (who do not generate income, because we're essentially their product) to up their user numbers. They do this by listing non-existent roles on platforms like LinkedIn. Otherwise, if there are no pools of applicants to show, why would any employer pay £750-1500 to list roles they could just list on LinkedIn or an established and reputable job board?

If the emperor did indeed have clothes, they'd show them. Not direct job seekers to give over ALL of their personal details to apply for roles that mysteriously disappear once they have signed up.

DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR PERSONAL DATA.

Whoever is tasked with responding to reviews, do not reply to this review with nonsense claims and false placations. Either prove you're legit or take on board the criticisms of the MANY who feel misled and scammed. The only two positive reviews you have come from the same week period in April, and almost everyone has a similar negative story to tell on Reddit.

This approach is not helping you build a reputation. Never mind that some of your responses are downright rude, commenting on typos rather than addressing the same issue almost everyone seemingly has with the platform - not exactly professional or inspiring of trust. At best, this is a very poorly run start-up company. Still time to course correct, I suppose, if you're at all interested in doing so.

Shame on you for taking advantage of people seeking work in good faith.

EDIT/RESPONSE:

That's a nice PR response from you, but what you've actually done is reported my review with Trust Pilot requesting a reference number that you never provided at any stage. I have, however, provided them with emails to prove that I signed up to your website instead.

Additionally, I have already emailed your team to request confirmation that you have deleted my personal data in its entirety, as per my legal rights under Article 17 of UK GDPR. I await that response from them.

You are correct about one thing, being upfront in your listings on job boards should be the way to go. It's basic ethics. The way you phrase these listings outright implies that the applicant will be applying to that role, not handing over personal data for a "matching service" that they didn't explicitly consent to. Maybe basic honesty would be a good starting point and help you build your reputation.

I don't see how further conversation with the team to reiterate what almost all your review have said, none of which you seem to have taken on board, will be a progressive use of anyone's time.

Especially since you've reported my review. Yet more duplicitous behaviour from you, I fear.

Just delete my data, as per your legal requirements as an ICO registered company. Thanks.

EDIT 17/6/26

Since reporting the validity of my review didn’t work because I submitted proof, you then attempted to flag it and have it removed for “defamation” - again, this claim was dismissed after review by Trust Pilot.

You’ve dedicated a lot of time and effort to getting my review taken down, yet I still haven’t received confirmation that you have deleted my personal data in accordance with Article 17 of UK GDPR. Maybe get around to that instead.

I have been on ViaMatch for months now, applied for multiple jobs via different recruiters who sent a "you're a strong match - create a ViaMatch account to progress" - well as I already have one there's no way to know if my application links to my existing account or not. There's nothing on the dashboard showing what I've applied for, and independently there been no matches from ViaMatch re any other potential hits. Its all very well saying "it's new tech that only gives results when matching" but when you're on the outside of it not receiving any haptic feedback that the process is doing anything, users get left with the impression that it is potentially just data harvesting and nothing else.
Even ATMs added sound that let the user know that the machine was counting money, because the silence was unnerving to customers.
I feel like the process needs a rethink. I would suggest privately listing companies that your CV has been sent to regardless of a match or not just to show the workings because there's enough tumbleweed out here already for job hunters without another "revolutionary recruitment tool" creating yet more.

Update - Thanks for the response. I would be more than happy to provide a more indepth user experience.

I was initially a bit dubious about being asked to sign up for another website to apply for a job but I have to say I’m pleasantly surprised. I have been matched to a few opportunities and even had some interviews set up. They’re clearly a new business but the customer service was great and I’m happy I signed up.

I'm honestly surpised by the negative reviews.

I used their service as it came up within my job hunt on "Total Jobs" as a regular job advert. It was very clear what the job was that I was applying for.

However, I was slightly confused at first, as this prompted me to their website to sign up - to submit my CV and my detials. I relaised quickly that this is exactly what their website does - it takes your CV to match you with the role you're most suited for.

I was then, within 24 hours, offered an interview for the job I had initially applied for on "Total Jobs".

Furthermore, since my information is within the system, I got 2 further emails matching me to other roles!

It's 100% NOT a scam as it is the reason I'm currently employed. It's just a new way of recruiting which people aren't used to.

I want to warn anyone thinking about using VIA (viamatch.ai) to apply for jobs: this site is not legitimate. It exists solely to collect personal information under the guise of job applications.

Here’s my experience:

- February 2026: I found a job I wanted to apply for, created an account, uploaded my CV, and answered questions. But I could never access the actual job. Trying again via LinkedIn or direct links always brought me back to: “No matches just yet, but we’re working on it.” I eventually gave up.
- March 2026: Same situation. I tried logging in again, and the loop repeated. Even contacting the job poster directly got me zero response.
- April 2026: Totaljobs flagged me as a “Strong Fit,” but clicking apply just brought me back to viamatch.ai. Still no job, just a system harvesting sensitive info.

The red flags are obvious:

You cannot access the jobs they list, because every single link just loops you back to the start page that tells you to create a profile or to log in & then always tells you “No matches just yet, but we’re working on it.”
They ask for full CVs, work history, addresses, emails, phone numbers, which is highly sensitive info, and with no way to actually apply.
You cannot delete your CV; you can only upload a new one.
You also cannot change the email linked to your account, and the site pulls your real name from your email address, even if you change your profile completely.

In the end (& I think everyone, who was unfortunate enough to fall for their scam, should do that before deleting the account) I changed my name, phone number, profile picture, and uploaded a CV without any real personal info (I do admit that the new CV is rather rude), with the metadata scrubbed.
Even after all that, the account still addressed me by my real name thanks to the linked email. I hope that since the account is deleted now, this information is truly gone.

Bottom line:

VIA / viamatch.ai is a fake job portal. They don’t provide real opportunities. They just want your personal data. Do not sign up. Do not upload your CV. Run.

I echo what everybody else here has said, viamatch.ai is a scam, designed to scrape job applicants details, it serves no purpose and appears to have the backing of LinkedIn who should hang their heads in shame

I reported the ad to LinkedIn and whatever AI they used 'deemed' my complaint not worthy of investigation

I wonder if LinkedIn are in on it?

TLDR; AVOID VIAMATCH! Don't sign up to their bogus site, it's only them that benefit, it serves no purpose to genuine job applicants

Not even a star! I created my profile and like 100 years ago I worked in retail and the “system” pushing retail jobs! But don’t panic still coming “no jobs available for you” message. Useless! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME

Applied for a job posted by them on Linkedin, you get sent to their website to create a profile. Once you go through the process, it "searches for matches"and comes up with nothing, which I find odd cosnidering my previous roles match the role being advertised. If this is what companies pay for then good luck to them finding candidates. Terrible.

They harvested my data by misleading me into thinking I could get hired by them, through online platforms such as CWJobs and totaljobs

Via advertise vacancies on LinkedIn click apply, redirected to Via website must create an account to apply 🚩 once concede PII, CV file & confirm registration.... Zero vacancies. New legal loophole to get our data for free, this does not go against LinkedIn community standards as they get paid per post.

Response to their reply yet 90% of your reviews confirm I'm not the only one who created an account to apply for the job that disappeared so that is entirely on you. There are loopholes for data harvesting & scams on LI
Trustpilot requests: Provide Viamatch with more information Email Reference number Full name Phone number. No

Was interested in a job posted on a genuine job search engine, to be taken to this AI search engine to "apply". Don't think the original job listing ever actually existed, given there is no "company" information available, no direct contact for queries, no vague job description regarding what the successful candidate can expect to be doing (should they get the role) etc. This format is just being used to accrue sign ups for this companies portal instead it seems! So, be warned and don't get your hopes up!

I signed up and then started getting emails that I was matched to some jobs, clicked on a link to apply, but the links came up with an error. It must be a scam. Avoid.

I applied for a vacancy advertised by Viamatch on a popular job website. Clicking on the vacancy merely led to Viamatch's website, with empty fields to fill in my personal details. I filled these in, expecting to see the job vacancy. No. That job vacancy never appeared.

As a woman's name was given as a recruitment contact, I messaged her through the job website to ask about the vacancy. I received no answer. A few days later, I found a UK telephone number listed for the contact details, so I rang this number to find out more.

The young man who answered the phone was clearly not the woman, did not answer the phone as 'Viamatch' and seemed completely surprised to be asked about Viamatch. He then put me on hold. When he came back, he claimed they were experiencing telephone problems and would ring me back. Did they ring me back ? No.
So we have a job advert that leads nowhere, a contact name who is not contactable electronically or by telephone, someone else answering the phone who seems completely confused/ unprofessional/ unprepared and uses bogus claims of telephone problems.
This is either a badly run startup company or a scam to gather personal details. Either way, I advise against using them.
