"you apply for a job"

you apply for a job, the reject you, and then they offer you a course instead, that YOU have to pay. If it's not a scam idk what this is.,

"It's a training course not a real job"

It's a training course not a real job. I didn't even got the recommendation letter that I have asked for and they claimed to send it from the instructor. Training is just below average. Avoid them!

"Scam"

Scam, as everyone is writing here.
The same with TalentKompass company aka Kreativstorm.
Shame on you for scamming people!

"Do not waste of your money and time"

Trainee’s quality is laughably bad. There seems no standard for trainers. When it comes to class management, no one can be below them. The trainer is clearly inexperienced, and it revealed when they couldn't react well to students' questions and claims. Instead of responding to them objectively, the trainer childishly accuses students and blames them. No wonder why there was no feedback opportunity after the course. Needless to say, do not waste your money and time on such a scam.

"Scam"

Hi everyone, we have talked about TalentKompass with some of the ladies of a Tech MeetUp group I belong. It seems this company sends your CV to another company called Kreativstorm who might then send you a questionnaire, and later offer you a 4 week training course for 160 eur, it seems it is a SCAM, please beware!

Another company that does this is Brainnest which seems closed now: trustpilot.com/ review/brainnest.consulting

It seems a scam trend focusing on entry-level, bootcamp-graduates who are looking for their first job, and they are taking advantage of it.

Just be careful and google the company before applying.

Good luck all with the job-hunting, you can do it 💪

"Recommended!"

I highly recommend Brainnest's consulting and training services. They have a unique ability to understand the specific needs of our organization and provide tailored solutions to help us achieve our goals. The team is knowledgeable, responsive, and a pleasure to work with.

"Brainnest review"

It was a productive time during the online training with Brainnest. I encourage candidates to further enhance their knowledge in the industry with Brainnest, very useful.

"Hi, great internship."

Hi, I got into the one month Graphic Design Brainnest Internship from April 13 to May 10 2023. I have been freelancer for several years now. It was great to speak and learn from the Instructor about the current ins and outs of the profession that indeed has changed from when I graduate back on 2008.

It was a refreshing experience to put my knowledge and skills to the test in a wide range of design briefs, that showed me where I need to improve to move forward. It also showed me that I have what it takes to resolves the challenges that may arise from client's perspective, which is something i have been doubting myself as of late.

The Instructor was extremely helpful and always open to answer any of your questions no matter how your time-zones differ and how silly you might have think they are.

As a whole i feel that its an internship that should be taken at least once to refresh your knowledge from work ethics to how to approach several client problems in today's working environment.

Still it is an introduction into Graphic Design as a whole. But even veterans might find it ideal to practice the basics to fix any flaws you may have acquired while freelancing. By having a professional offer feedback/creative criticism on things that he finds that you haven't noticed. As you prepare yourself to re-enter the current job market.

"Brainnest is a scam to pay for your courses, not a reliable job source"

One day I was looking for a job and I came across many openings for a UI/UX internship, so I applied. The HR manager sent me an email weeks later saying that they couldn't hire me because there was a better candidate but they had a one-month internship program for which I had to pay approx 129 euro. I decided to enter since the brochure promised personalized advice, help with your portfolio and courses from Monday to Sunday.

Once I was in the course, I began to be very disappointed since the content was very simple, they literally only gave you classes on Saturdays and Sundays for approximately 2 hours, the tutor was very kind and had good knowledge but only taught you a few important design phrases during 20 minutes and the rest of the time I reviewed everyone's work, which was not at all like it said in the brochure that they sent me at the beginning, it did not cover any of the relevant topics and there were no extra activities. All that he taught you were things that you can easily find in an online course for 13 euros.

Days later, tired of not receiving significant advice for my growth, I received an alleged internship offer by mail to work with the same company, so I began to look at all their information again to see if I applied, for which I found that their website had changed and now the headquarters in Bremen, Germany no longer existed. It seemed very strange to me and I found several reviews on different sites from dissatisfied people and people who were paid to give them a positive review. They promise you that you will get a job with them but in the end their company doesn't hire you, their business is basically in the courses, which hook people through many vacancies posted on different sites for people to apply and then offer them employment only if they get into their course.

I honestly do not recommend this company, they create fake accounts to rate their company and have high scores on websites like Glassdoor, also they do not upload anything relevant nor real on their social networks.

"Scam!!"

Scam!!! Scam!!! Scam!!!
