Extremely Disappointing Experience
Extremely disappointing experience with Shine.
I paid around ₹3,500 for the service, and it has been more than one and a half months, but I have not received even a single genuine job call through the service. The service was not at all useful for me considering the amount I paid.
What is even more frustrating is the poor customer support. The representatives do not communicate properly and there is no proper follow-up or accountability after taking the payment.
Now, after paying ₹3,500, I am being told that the package I purchased only allows me to apply for jobs. If I want better opportunities or more calls from recruiters, I have to pay an additional amount. They have suggested/demanded multiple additional payment amounts for different services.
This is extremely frustrating. If the package I already paid for is only meant for applying to jobs, then this should have been clearly explained before taking the payment. Instead, I feel like I am being repeatedly asked to pay more money for additional services after already spending ₹3,500.
₹3,500 is not a small amount, and I genuinely feel that my money has been wasted. More than one and a half months have passed with zero genuine calls, and now I am being asked to pay even more.
Very disappointing experience. I would strongly suggest understanding exactly what is included in the package before paying for any premium service.

Dear Kanishka, We would like to review this matter in detail. Kindly share your concern at contactus@shine.com so our team can investigate and assist you appropriately.
Fraud
These person calling from shine side is just a salesperson’s. He will show you big dreams of 2x or 3x from your current role. He ll say as per market standards you deserve this . Our team will provide 4-5 interviews every week. We guaranty to provide you job in 10 days. Bla bla bla. Please please dont get in his words. He ll ask to make a payment 2-3 l thousands first than provide another link , if yoi didn’t proceed he ll say we can’t help you this payment is necessary. After that provide another link . In this way they dubbed me with 32 thousands rupees and then that contact number goes unreachable and another employee of his team start calling and telling you rubbish offers . They only take 7-8 thousands rupees only to check your resume.
What a fraud . And they show that they are trustworthy associates
of Hindustan times.
Please also read comments on Reddit before giving them money.

Never trust Shine
Never entertain shine people. They are not at all transparent on their charges for their number of different paid services and will keep on sending the payment request one after another. And of course they have NO REFUND POLICY. They will heavily charge you and the amount will keep increasing with each transaction. They will not give you any amount estimation and will keep sending you transaction request once the previous one is done. Even if you ask them multiple times how many payments are pending they will smartly play with words and manipulate you make the payment. After all this I totally don’t have any kind of trust to even proceed with services for which I have already paid.

Best app for jobs
Good app for finding jobs, but the number of notification emails is a bit too much. An option to customize frequency within the app would be great.
Best platform
Good platform with many listings. It would be even better if the app had a way to filter jobs by companies that offer childcare support.
Great app
Super easy application process. The app's UI is fantastic. 👍
After using the app
i liked the graphic starting of the app but the app was crashing a bit i hope you guys can fix it. but other then that it was nice.
Review
I had a great experience using this job search app. It’s very easy to use and offers a wide range of relevant job opportunities. The quick-apply feature makes the process fast and convenient. Overall, it’s a reliable and efficient platform for job seekers.
Fraud and misleading
Never buy any of their services, they will explain you everything together you might gonna feel like you’re paying for everything and after that their sales people start asking more money to you and you realising that it’s a step by step trap. Don’t fall for 25L package dream they are scammers and forget about the service it’s not even worth a penny

I am job seeker who was looking for opportunities and this shine people called multiple times and asked to join paying 3.2k and I have paid. After that there asking for job and education verification 5k and 9 k after that resume writing 17k like that there will take Lot of money. There will keep you in call and take all money one by one like how scams we see in Instagram. This is not about money more about genuine and trust. I will suggest go for Naukri Premium a LinkedIn Premium, where we will be knowing what we are taking and what value it will be adding. This shine app is totally scam. Don't pay any money for this.

Be Alert! Don’t buy any subscription from them! Totally waste of money and feels Insulting
THEY MADE ME FEEL REGRET AFTER BUYING THEIR SUBSCRIPTION.
Some lady will call you 100 times for buying their subscription and assure a hell lot of things they don’t even know. They’ll charge 3000 for resume highlighter to top consultants & recruiters. Believe me there is no way we can confirm to which recruiters they’ve reached out for us.
This will be followed by a call from specialist Mr. Abhishek. His job is to sell you some document verification worth Rs. 4000 for which he will go to any extent and make you feel to unsubscribe in the call itself. On asking about it, he will openly say “There is no refund. Do what you want”.
I just hope no one else fall for their trap and hence writing this review!
It is a total waste of money and your time.

Tatti Services(Potty)
They don’t know what is the profile and what is the matches they just send faltu jobs links and recommendations which is not matching 1% your profile, at the very first they provide you false information to realise they are really caring of you and they asked you charges one by one starting from 2500 and end 10k once you done the payment after that no one will ask you even they don’t know who are you, and in your app dashboard you will get all unnecessary jobs unrelated positions

Be aware of being scammed by Shine Paid service
Shine does false commitment and ask you to pay a huge amount more than a lac (1.5 lacs in my case) but their trick is they won’t tell you in advance that you have to pay this much of huge amount. Once you pay 3000 then they will send you another invoice more than the last amount and they keep telling you that they won’t let you down and give you good leads what you deserve. Guys, do not trust them, I invested and it’s one month now I didn’t get good leads, however they said i will see changes after a week. They are here just selling their course n products on the name of Hindustan Times and they will show you it’s GST number in google and all. It’s a full scam, DO NOT PAY A SINGLE PENNY HERE.

Fraud
I have received call from Shine and paid the following amount. The person assigned as Relationship Manager has never mentioned that there will be so many additional costs even after asking about the amount. After paying the under mentioned amount, they are asking me to pay additional 25,000.
I feel cheated and want to discontinue the services. Please suggest my steps. With permission from your team, I have recorded the conversation and can share as evidence.

Misleading Paid Services on Shine
I applied for jobs on Shine on 8th October and soon received a call claiming to be from Shine, asking me to pay for services to help find a job. I paid ₹3,500, then ₹5,100, and later ₹9,100, believing it was for legitimate guidance and resume services. They kept pressuring me to pay more, eventually asking for ₹14,800, which made me suspicious. When I requested a refund, they refused, and now they are demanding sensitive documents like PAN card, education certificates, payslips, and phone verification, which seems unnecessary. I trusted them and lost ₹18,000, but received no real service. This feels like a scam, and I strongly caution others against paying for such repeated, pressured services. please give me refund

Worst and fraud
I strongly advise everyone not to fall for Shine’s scams. Their team plays on emotions and pressures people into paying for services that are never delivered. Most of the so-called job links they provide are nothing new—just listings from Naukri or LinkedIn, which many of us would have already applied to. They advertise themselves as the second-largest job portal, but in reality, they seem to be second-largest only in terms of fraudulent practices. Please be cautious and do not waste your hard-earned money on such deceptive services.
