I had an absolutely AMAZING conversation with one of their sales reps. We both had a good laugh about how Relentless's competitors use AI to simply crawl already-listed jobs, and we both agreed that the only approach that truly works is using networking and connections to get an inside track on new jobs that haven't been publicly listed.
My rep explained to me, in detail, that this is exactly what Relentless does-- their recruiters have relationships with select companies, and use that as leverage to present their clients to them and land people 6-figure jobs, jobs that are not publicly listed anywhere. Well worth their fee, I would say!
My rep did not use any high pressure sales tactics, and instead helped me realize that I don't want to give up on trying to find high-paying, stable work in my field (it's been a challenge!) and that I should take a bet on myself and keep trying. Honestly, the conversation was life changing.
Then my rep gave me a detailed deep dive link on what Relentless does. They... use AI to scrape publicly listed jobs and auto-apply for them.
Given the positive reviews Relentless has garnered, this clearly works in certain fields. I don't believe it will work for the highly specialized roles I'm targeting. And I refuse, on principle, to give my money to a company if the sales rep lies to me the way they did.
And yes, Relentless will no doubt respond with "With all due respect, David, you were never a client of ours." No, I wasn't. And they did tell me the truth eventually. But if you are considering them, accept the fact that the sales rep may lie to you, and read the actual fine print METICULOUSLY before you make a decision. Also check to see if there are any cheaper AI-centric, public-link-scraping, auto-apply options out there. I suspect there are.
