Pnet disgusting customer service

I will never use or recommend PNet to anyone. I found a job that was listed on Pnet only. So I signed up, but I couldn’t apply for the job unless I complete my profile by adding my ID number - which you can’t blame me, I didn’t feel comfortable to do.

I emailed their support team and merely asked if it’s 100% necessary to add my ID number (or at least explain why?), and look at this rude, unprofessional response from Themba:

“Kindly note that Pnet is not forcing anyone to register on our website. For you to complete your profile, it's a must to have you ID number on the data base, if you do not feel comfortable? you can try using alternative website for your applications.”

Absolutely rude and unprofessional, zero customer service, I merely ASKED a question as a new user. If this is how you speak to potential users I will let everyone know never to use you.

Disgusting service. Do better. And thanks Themba, after your rude response I will be using an alternative website

Thank you for bringing this to our attention - it's most certainly not how we aim to respond to our jobseekers and I apologise on behalf of Pnet. I have shared your feedback with our Customer Support manager to raise internally. 

We do unfortunately need your ID number to ensure that there isn't a duplicate of profiles for one person under multiple email addresses. We are 100% compliant with all data protection laws and take the privacy of our jobseekers and customers very seriously. 

With over 5000 recruiters using Pnet, and around 30,000 live jobs each month, we would love to welcome you as a Pnet candidate if you would reconsider using our platform.

Best regards,
