Complete Scam Complete Scam. When you win an award you get something. You do not have to pay $3,000 to win a legitimate award. I see you responded back saying it was not a scam, please. I played along for a bit asking how how you chose us and you were not able to answer ONE question correctly about my company. SCAM

We've had the pleasure of collaborating… We've had the pleasure of collaborating with Manage HR magazine, who honored us with an award. We decided to invest in purchasing the reprint rights for our feature in their platform. Their interview with our CEO resulted in an exceptional story about our business, proving to be a wise investment decision. Many of the new customers we acquired afterward confirmed that they first heard about us through Manage HR magazine, demonstrating the significant impact of our presence in their publication.

$3000 for Nothing? My gut feeling is that this company isn't doing responsible work. They approached my company claiming my outstanding performance in the outplacement field, offering me the chance to promote myself for $3000. In reality, we don't offer HR services; we are a manufacturing company with just some web content on outplacement related to downsizing. This means the company aims to collect $3000 from other companies without doing the least bit of research, without bothering to examine whom they approach or why. $3000 for nothing? - a brilliant idea (if someone lacks minimal ethical goals in business)

I want to warn people about Manage HR… I want to warn people about Manage HR Magazine. I've interacted with them in two ways: as a reader/user, and as a potential contributor. Both were bad experiences that make me question their business practices. The articles they publish can't be trusted. The magazine solicits individuals to pay $3,000 to have a puff piece published or be included in their coverage. Their content isn't objective, unbiased or balanced. If you do your own research around their articles you can confirm this for yourself. I know about the $3,000 because they tried this on me. Their business model involves trawling LinkedIn to find victims who are then solicited. Their methods use data aggregation firms and the dark Web to access your private (or sometimes hacked/stolen) unpublished contact information so they can spam you. I understand the publishing business is tough, but these methods are fundamentally dishonest. They have made themselves appear like an established legitimate business, but then spam victims to pay them money while exaggerating the results those poor folks will see. My advice is not to read the magazine and definitely not to give their editor/salesperson (Miriam Taylor) any of your hard earned money.
