VIA / Viamatch.ai - Fake Jobs & Data Harvesting. Stay Away!
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.
