Secretspain.com home-based jobs

I see this company are currently recruiting for home-based roles that are not sales-based with a salary of £26k. It sounds like a good opportunity, but is there a catch? Does anyone have any experience of this company?

    Just make sure they're not an MLM (Multi-Level-Marketing) company...basically pyramid sscheme based on buying and selling their products.

    There's no information about what they are like to work for online and a starting salary of £26k seems rather high for this kind of work...

    Never heard of them, but if their website is anything to go by I would do some due diligence first. I'm no web designer, but it looks like it was thrown together in 60 minutes in someone's bedroom.

    I will be giving them a wide berth.
  • I had an interview with them. Really nice people but it seemed really disorganised to me. Very Spanish mentality, too laid back for me.
  • Its fake and a scam


    I didnt even need to check them out
  • I think it's a fraud click scam - they probably set up the website and put fake job adverts on free job sites just up to get people to click on the adverts on their website which they probably get commission for. They'll get traffic on their website as well as many clicks on the adverts on their website which will give them income fro the advertiser every time someone clicks. Waste of time for people genuinely looking for work. The above average salary will attract lots of people to apply and go onto their website. They should be reported if this is the case.
  • No they are genuine. I worked for them for 8 months. Nice people, good pay and good benefits (such as very cheap holidays!). But, and this is a very big but I would not work for them again as it is such a hard market, and the targets are unrealistically high in my opinion. If a client needed a mortgage on a Spanish property it was 90% certain that the deal would collapse as there was always problems with documentation for the property from the seller, and you would have wasted months on a client. Also, they get most of their business through exhibitions and most of the people who go to these exhibitions are more interested in the more well-known parts of Spain, so you are really up against it.

    It's a low traffic website with hidden ownership on the whois entry.

    I'd assume a site offering so many jobs would have a higher ranking
