They are doing scam

They are doing scam. They collect the money in lacs from the candidates and don't provide the job.
They are looting/scamming to small business entity by selling fake dreams, business opportunities and franchisee. They charged 10 lacs for it from other small businesses.

Scammer name is Max Sim +91 89800 18740.

He is an indian but using his name like a foreigner. His name is also not original. He hides his personal name and information because fear of Legal action.

100% fake

100% fake. Hiding process. Money looting technique followed here. I paid 19500 rs for my Singapore Job processing. This agency provided fake Offer letter and got 15500 rs for Medical test which is not a process Singapore Visa. I cross checked with Singapore Employer, they said, this is fake offer. Later, Vishaka(9211327135) mobile switched off and not reachable. Going to file Cyber complaint.

We were promised a replacement for a candidate who left just two days after joining. It’s been over three months, and not only has no replacement been provided, but there's also been no communication or accountability from their side. Extremely disappointing experience.

DigiRDP

I'm the HR Manager for DigiRDP had a call with Austin, we gave them our requirements. Their candidates left in a day and they couldn't give us a replacement, refuses to givr a refund and doesn't communicate at all. completely a bunch of incompetent people sitting on the top. Harish and max sims are not even competent enough to sit in a pile of shit. Don't know how they are sitting as leaders. Will totally sue them.

The Worst Recruitment Experience

The Worst Recruitment Experience – A Cautionary Tale About Alliance Recruitment Agency

This has by far been the most painful and unprofessional experience I've ever had with any recruitment service. It has now been over a month of complete chaos, false commitments, and utter negligence from Alliance Recruitment Agency.

It all started with a person named Jazz, who appeared highly professional and followed up multiple times daily until the payment was made. Once the money was transferred, their true face showed. They created a WhatsApp group with 7 supposed recruiters — none of whom showed any interest or professionalism. Every week, a new person was introduced claiming they were now handling the hiring, offering false promises with zero accountability. There was never a single update unless I personally followed up.

They have no process, no sense of responsibility, and are absolutely disconnected from the concept of client service. Instead of providing verified candidates, they sent irrelevant and unverified profiles, clearly just to keep up appearances.

When I demanded a refund, Jazz conveniently became "unavailable" — always in meetings — and refused outright to refund, despite them failing to deliver anything close to what was promised.

The latest contact, Kristina, is just another name in a rotating door of incompetence — again offering fake timelines and delivering nothing.

This agency is not a headhunting service — it is a scam operation where time, effort, and money are completely wasted. They are engaging in daylight robbery, and legal action should be taken for their fraudulent conduct.

They degrade clients, waste time, and exploit trust — this company needs to be shut down immediately. Save yourself the frustration, stress, and loss. Avoid Alliance Recruitment Agency at all costs.

Very unreliable and disappear

I work for a British company and we needed to recruit a candidate in Libya. I had an initial interview to hire a candidate and then Max Sims asked me to send the details of the job which I did. He then disappeared and resurfaced a week later but then disappeared again and haven’t heard from him since.
Highly unreliable company.

I am going to sue this business for lying to me.

They lie to you. I am a business that used them, and got scammed by this company. I foolishly paid $1,500 USD to use their recruitment services before they started any work. Businesses - do not fall for their dishonest and unethical practices. Use other recruiters who you pay on success and not who make you pay upfront, and then keep your money when you get nothing from it. I am in the process of engaging a lawyer to sue these dishonest recruiters. Here is my story….

I was told the in initial interview by Max Sims that I get a refund if I don’t hire anyone. I have that on video. We had terrible candidates for a javascript role (who failed basic interview questions by our technical team). Their recruiters cannot filter out developer roles and you just get candidates who have been dishonest in their resumes. We wasted so much time with poor quality candidates. I didn’t hire any of their poor candidates.

I went to ask for my money back and they refused. Despite having video evidence and showing them Max telling me I get a refund if I don’t hire anyone. They relied on a contract that said no refunds. Max’s statements to me were misleading and dishonest. They are an unethical company, even when you show them proof of them lying.

I am going to make a YouTube video showing there deceptive business practices. You will see Max’s statements to me, and him and his team refusing to honour the promises of refund if I don’t hire anyone. They gave me a credit but my money, but they are so bad at hiring for technical roles, that it’s useless to me as I will never use them.

I will be suing this company and now I need to engage a lawyer to get advice on Max’s misleading statements to me.

I have a few screenshots of just how difficult these people are. I showed them the video proof

Video 1:
- me asking Max: “if [we] don’t hire anyone, I get my money back, right?”.
- Max shakes his head and says yes.

Video 2:
Max saying I can get a credit note or “otherwise refund.. no problem”.

I relied on Max’s false promises and paid $1,500 USD.

Max and his team just refused to honour what Max falsely said to me. Dishonest. Unethical. Stay away if you are a business.

Be Careful - you pay upfront but they don't give refunds

This company is very bad. Please stay away from them. I had the worst experience with them. We had terrible candidates for a javascript role (who failed basic interview questions). They made me pay $1,500 USD upfront. They did a bad job. Max, told me in a recorded video Call that I get my money back if I don't hire anyone. This turned out to be a false, fraudelent and misleading information. I will never use their services again. I wanted a refund and they have given me a credit note. Which is utterly useless, because I will never use them again. Please be careful and don't use them. I have sent an email to Kyra sharma on 10 July 2024, with my video evidence of Max's fraudelent and misleading statements.

They are unethical because Max said I will get a refund if I don't hire anyone - and I didn't hire anyone. Now they dont want to give back my $1,500 USD.

The worst experience I ever had

The worst experience I ever had. It has been 3 months now and these people were not able to arrange 1 employee for me. Initially one of their employees namely zara told me that it will take 10 days now it has been 3 months and still nothing. The provide me 1 candidate and he scammed me for 20k and the others they provided me were also trying to scam me for money. They will not answer you phone calls for days Or replay u back. They don't care about your loss And now when I asked for refund they are also refusing to that. Now I fell it is just a big scam where they call u from different numbers and act as candidates for job and try to scam you for money.
Also the office address mentioned on their emails is B-707 MONDEAL SQUARE Sarkhej - Gandhinagar Hwy,
Prahlad Nagar, Ahmedabad, Gujarat 380015 but as I checked there is no office at this address.
These are just scammers.
I have already filled a Cyber complaint.
Recently they have replied back to this by providing their email address which I checked is invalid. also the domain "lancetrecruitmentagency.com" is invalid. Again proving this is a scam

Very Bad customer service and not reliable

I contacted alliance recruitment in search of a house cook. It was last October and we are now in February and they have not provided anyone. They also are not prepared to refund my deposit. They lured me at the beginning with a couple of CVs that they have probably made up as I never got to interview these 2 ladies. When I insisted they connected me with 2 ladies for which the CV had nothing to do with their real experience so clearly the CVs were made up.
Do not trust or believe in this agency. They are just after your money. I have asked to speak to the manager and he never could be bothered to call me. As a result of clear stealing, I am going to take legal action!
