Poached Jobs

I have impecible job qualifications. Contact goes perfectly and then nothing. All contact and then nothing from the employer. Interview goes amazing, invite for free working job interview 😁 That goes amazingly 😁 get amazing feedback. Verbally invited back. Still nothing. Was told when touching base they had 20 people to still interview. This is giving very Bumble , Tinder vibes.

Love this app and the jobs you can find on it but the glitches in the app make it miserable. Not only does the top left exit button always, always glitch and not allow you to exit. It also would not let me open my messages from jobs!!! I am currently deleting and redownloading the app because I tried to respond to a message from a job but all that came up was a grey screen. I can live with app bugs but this prevents me from getting a a job! So frustrating. Also why cannot I go back after pushing apply? I’ve accidentally clicked apply so many times to jobs and the “add a cover letter” page pops up and I’m stuck applying to a job.

I’m not sure why no one at Poached thought of this but if they want to facilitate use of the Poached Shifts functionality- please make those searchable by THE DATE OF THE SHIFT. Nobody needs to sort those things by date of posting- the date of the work is the meaningful info for the person looking to pick up. I’d also love to see them crack down on places putting up Poached Shifts saying “this shift is for Steve” or something. Kind of defeats the purpose for everyone else and clutters the listings with shifts NOT in fact available at all.

I’ve always enjoyed using Poached when job hunting. I love that all the best restaurants in my area post on Poached so I know I’ll find the jobs I want without having to search for too long. Now that they have the app, applying for jobs is easier than ever and I can always browse to see who is hiring.

Poached Jobs has always been my first stop when starting my job search- but Shifts has been a great way to pick up gig work and it got my foot in the door at my latest job! Some reviews mention glitchy app, yet I have never had any issues on my phone.

So I’ve used this app now and then over the years to reliably look for industry jobs. Now they’ve updated it and looking through server jobs they also have postings for licensed vet techs, CPAs, all kinds of other random jobs. First of all, I’m here because I’m looking specifically for an industry job. But also, if you are going to add in other jobs, maybe consider the reason I work in the industry is I’m not qualified as a CPA? Or if I was, I’m not working as one for a reason. This was a great app but not so much anymore.

This app could be fantastic. It could be a dream; however, it continually sends extraneous emails and texts. I have yet to actually be able to pick up a shift through this app, and it has been lauded all over the City of Portland as THE app to use. Again it would be fantastic if it produced anything but empty promises.

I have been able to easily apply to multiple jobs very quickly, have seen ‘shifts’ go up every day I’ve been on the app but haven’t been able to get one yet

Poached is great, and is used a lot in the industry which is why I have been so disappointed that the app is so glitchy. You press some buttons in filters and the app just freezes entirely and you have to restart it. You have no way to look at your sent applications through the app, which is really inconvenient. Seems like the notifications tab would better be utilized as application tab. Or some combination. Also, when scrolling it will often reset you to a point towards the top, so you have to start over. A feature to save jobs would also be nice. Hope they fix these things! But overall Poached itself has been a great tool.

I’ve had this app for a little over a year and I don’t know why but it’s not letting me pick up shifts and has been saying that they’ll look into my account to make sure everything is ok but that has been a little over a month ago and I’m really frustrated and irritated, what’s worse is that they don’t have a customer support button or option or a contact us page!

Updated and reinstalled the app and it still types everything in the search bar backwards. i.e. If you want to look for “prep” positions near you you have to type “perp” in order to get the results you want. A little counterintuitive and I hope they fix this because I do love the app but can’t use it in current state.

This app could be great with just a few basic improvements. Why is there no way to save or favorite a job? You can only apply. You can’t search, save, and apply later. Also, there needs to be a map feature so that you can apply for a job in a specific location. Add those and 5 stars!

I would love for Poached to add a function to their app where you can send the actual link to friends looking for jobs or send the link to yourself for later. Right now, all you can do is screenshot to share with people.

This app really is the best and easiest way to search specifically for jobs in the food industry in the PNW. User friendly, and never had a bad experience with employers while operating through the app

Every time you exit the app, even just to map a restaurant, the scroller on the jobs page goes all the way back to the top. So if you want to look at a lot of restaurants and also want to look up their menus or submit an online notification, you're going to have to spend a lot of time scrolling to do so.

Im a big fan of Poached and the app. I’ve found the best jobs through the site- and now started using it for Shifts! Not to mention they send me sharpies 🧑🏼‍🍳🤌🏼

Overall it’s a nice app. I feel like they could do so much better. For example making the app more user friendly and easier way to contact support. I had to email support a couple of times just to get paid, which was pretty inconvenient.

I find it so frustrating that you can’t save job postings to apply to later. Sometimes I’m checking just to see what’s on there and really wish I could save a posting I find to apply to later.

I just got back on this app to see you can no longer filter job postings by type.. front of house, floor, bartender, management, hotel, distribution, etc. and honestly it’s just far less user friendly.. I hope it’s a bug.

Decent app. They don’t let you filter jobs for part-time/full-time, wages, or tipped positions. When searching, the “current position” is pretty much the only option. The website is much easier to use.

The app usually works but now when i try to apply for a shift it just gets stuck on ‘applying’. Deleting and reinstalling the app doesn’t work. I would really like to continue using this app as its really helpful.

I think the idea is the app is great, but no one ever responds to applications. You’re better off going in person to apply. They have an “Poached shift” option but because of “high level of interest, they don’t let new users use it. I would highly recommend not using Poached. Use indeed or go in person instead.

One of the best websites to use in Seattle to find service industry jobs and an amazing resource for Restaurants and Bars to connect with experienced professionals.

Very great shift! The leadership was excellent! Staff was so helpful in a pinch but overall I could jump right in and excel! Navigating the app was great too. All very simple!

As soon as I put personal information such as contact information in the app, I started to get lots of ads for fraudulent employment scams. Not to mention that the aspect of this app that makes it unique from scrolling Craigslist, the shifts aspect, does not seem to function most of the time

Why would the app get rid of when the ad was posted? Seems like a waste of time when a lot a jobs won’t even look at your resume if it gets submitted after like 3 days of the ad posting. Just adds the resume to the heaping pile to be overlooked now.

Very easy and comfortable app

My account has been under review for half a year. I’ve been verified and a my info has come back with a green check mark, yet it says my account still needs to be under review by Poached team… it’s been months. When are they going to review if?

Used the ai option to scan government issued ID and was not working, tried again a couple days later and could not receive the confirmation number by text to try again… Update: this app is gangstalking dog****

love this app in theory, and it's led me to some great opportunities. however: it's absolutely filled with glitches ranging from refusal to load, to sending out messages that i've sent to prospective employers but with crazy punctuation etc. so frustrating. can y'all please finally fix these issues??? looking for work is frustrating enough without having to deal with tech flaws.

Pointless and stupid

Best applicants for the best jobs. Lucky us they started in bridge town.

Desktop is way different and much better.

Great flexible gigs and super fast payout ! Thank you , Poached , for the opportunity ❤️

New in the app but getting in love with it

All the search and filter tools don’t really work in the app, the website functions much better.

this app/site has fully evolved with employers/employees in the hospitality industry. Poached is optimal, easy to use and aesthetically pleasing.

This is a great idea, and I appreciate this option but not a lot of employers seem to know about it, shifts are gone in minutes. In addition to this, this app has dozens of bugs which does make it frustrating to use including navigation, search, apply/waitlist, profile edit. It seems to have a problem loading [lots of spinning wheels for searches, notifications]. The search is unclear and clunky. Editing your profile is a problem. I've had to do a mixture of both app and Poached webpage to edit the same line over and over to what I needed to on my profile. When you hit buttons, often nothing happens. or it happens late so maybe the buttons are sticking? iOs auto correct function doesn't work inside of Poached app text bodies so be careful when writing cover letters and messages to employers. Bugs o'plenty...for instance, if someone does hire you for a single shift, you have to go back through and scroll to try and find them to retrieve information. [Ive started taking screenshots as a work-around] Or if you apply to a job, it restarts you at the beginning of the scroll, you have to scroll down again to where you were to continue your search. There isn't a way to quickly go back to the top/start, you have to scroll and scroll upwards. I've taken to closing out the app and starting again [as a personal work-around for multiple bugs actually.] If you are waitlisted and notified of the job opening it's not clear if you've applied again, or if the shift is removed or taken by another or if you're waitlisted a second time? So you're just hoping something went through. Lots of spinning wheels here too as you are notified that a job you've been waitlisted for is open again, you are racing against others to apply for a second time in the chaos and confusion of app bugs [why twice if applied once and waitlisted?] I wish employers would have to click/select certain information when they list. For instance if the position is tipped/not tipped. They are expect to list this and other vital information in the text body, sometimes positions aren't tipped but say they are [employer might edit this out later?] and sometimes jobs are tipped even though they didn't specific on their advert whether or not it is tipped. Mindful coding makes it easier for the employee to make better decisions when applying. This would also be a pro-labor functionality on behave of Poached. There are companies listing jobs NOT in portland/portland area/oregon---why would they think we wanna go outside of municipality/state minimum wage to be a host at a family restaurant in a small town in colorado for half the hourly rate?] It's just more trash to wade through in the scrolling marketplace of employers especially when you have a location perimeter set from the search function. That all being said. I like this concept and idea and am glad Poached came in and did it. With a more efficient app and a better marketing plan to attract more employers, this app might really have something special.

Literally can apply, have a good resume and references, you don’t ever get a response. You have better luck on indeed or LinkedIn

You can’t exit the cover letter section and then access it again. It just sends a blank cover letter. It’s for sure cost me jobs.

So is it just looking for a job or jobs with daily cash because I have yet to see any jobs with just Daily Cash

It says you can apply for shifts in 3 days. It has been 7. How do I move on to the next step?

You send the application and they never call you, you go to the store and they say they are not hiring.

Like the website, the app does not load. It seems like the servers are down over at Poached.

Can’t edit my work history

Fields are so small and now the dates are buggy and every date I enter is rejected and defaults to only 2023.

I don’t understand why you guys have the app up if you’re not accepting new workers

Just like the website, it struggles to Perform.

Hardly ever works. Fix it already!

Your number go to a lots of medical insurance and they start to call millions times 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
