David Werner International - Sophisticated Scam Executive Search – Employment Services.
I also got swindled by this scam for more then $30, 000 and I wasted my time, got nothing for it and also damaged my reputation. People that I meet with today either have no idea who this character is or, are quite surprised that I paid money to have this clown “help my career”.And now David Werner is posting some settlement statement from a guy he sued in New York Supreme Court. In case you have any doubts about David Werner taking his clients to court, you can actually see the legal papers at the New York Supreme Court website. The statement is a settlement for which David Werner International may have paid. You would think that it would be better for David Werner’s “reputation” to simply return the fees to clients that are unhappy with his service; after all he tries to convince us that there is only one or very few unhappy clients. The reality is that David Werner International can not return any fees for several reasons. First, they are greedy and cheep. I actually was in the room with this David Werner when his sidekick Ted, with fear on his faces, walked in and sheepishly asked for $20 for lunch for a client. Werner made angry faces and reluctantly reached in his pocket extracting a $20 bill. I remember his hand clinched to the $20 while Ted worked hard to pull it out of David’s grip. The other reason is the fact that 99% of David Werner International revenue comes from fees for busy work and only 1% from fees paid by clients after they get a new job or make career change. If he was to return all the fees to unhappy clients he would not be in business. So he relies on the scam to get revenue from clients who will never get a new job.There is a good reason why this scam is not listed along with the top 5 or top even 100 executive search firms. As David Werner International proudly states on their website they are “Headhunters in Reverse”. They are not Korn Ferry or Heidrick & Struggles or Russell Reynolds or Christian & Timbers or Egon Zehnders. All these reputable firms get paid by the employer and if you don’t get a new job you don’t pay anything. The scam David Werner International gets paid upfront, in my case $30, 000.00, and one in one thousand may get a job . Some other ignorant individual, presumably somebody on the take and part of the scam, compared David Werner International to an agent like an agent for a Hollywood star or a sports celebrity. The ignorant perhaps does not know that agents get paid after the star or celebrity finds a new assignment NOT BEFORE.Read the other Rip-Off Reports at ripoffreport.com and at complaintsboard.com - educate yourself or David Werner will educate you and lighten your pockets in the process. Also expect David Werner International to post the same settlement agreement which they may have paid for and threaten to sue anyone client exposing the scam. Taking clients to court must be the most stupid thing they ever did. This alone should make many executives just eager to lineup and sign an agreement with David Werner International to receive their “services” and pay upfront $30, 000.00 or more.
