Trash company that just wants to harvest your professional contacts So you need to create an account with Bravado if you want to "apply" to the job you found online that they are advertising. Annoying, but not uncommon. However, in order to create a Bravado account, they require access to ALL of your Google contacts. Why on earth would you need that level of access to my information, just to create an account? If you choose to actually do this, you're then asked to upload your resume. Once that is uploaded, they require you go through your work history, role by role, and provide the name of the specific client, the specific stakeholder, and what specific product you sold them, and when. They try and play it up like potential employers find specific examples of success appealing in their candidate evaluations, blah, blah, blah. I'm sure there isn't a bunch of slimey sales "professionals" at Bravado NOT poaching my professional contacts or sales history information for their own personal lead gen activities. Sure, this is probably all legal, but this company is trash, and all they are after is your sales contacts.

Toxic data mining “community” Borderline scummy practices, but on the wrong side of the line. Subscribe to get weird offers by email, be part of a rotten “Wolf of Wall Street”-mindset community, get invited to cult-like events, be asked to share private info from your company for fantasy rewards, when the whole website is a copy of Reddit’s /r/sales.

If you want real world done and proven… If you want real world done and proven collective experience with no BS, rather than the fluff piece you might have seen influencers bring on your social media, this is the place to go. (Been burned before and should have come here first for advice). Bravado has lots to offer from curated contents in the academy section, Tech Sales U to any burning questions you may have - they got it all covered, just need the right question. Plus we live in an incentive driven world, who doesn’t like commissions on contributions you make to the page that you can use to exchange for cool stuff?

This feels like a pointless website This feels like a pointless website. The War Room or whatever is set up exactly in the same format as Reddit with the same types of questions. There’s no way to track what job applications I applied to. I have no visibility into the job search process. There’s no actual job board where I can look for roles. Their website doesn’t detect a few large companies i worked for, so formatting looks off. There’s no way to upload a simple thing such as a resume as achievements don’t describe the whole story. To add insult to injury the job postings on LinkedIn don’t even have the company name so I’m still in the dark about what I’m applying to but without any status update of any kind or the ability to even review the job post later, it all honestly feels like a waste of time.

Bravado is a terrible system for… Bravado is a terrible system for applicants, especially for any non-sales specific roles. You MUST enter sales information to continue making a profile, if you are not applying to a sales position and have never done sales you cannot continue with your application, they only show you roles that THEY think you are qualified for, you cannot apply to roles that YOU want to apply to, and they ask for personal information like current salary and sales deals that might fall under NDA. I would give this a 0/5 if possible.
