the candidates are such a low quality. I interviewed 3, wanted to cancel my subscription, but (stupidly) let them sell me on "we'll find you the right person". The 4th person I interviewed was ok - at least decent enough to try. What a mistake. She sucked so much of my time every week, requiring multiple video calls and emails to clarify things. Finally after 4 weeks, she also proved to be an oxygen thief, and I ended the internship. I asked the company for a full refund and, like most all companies today, they gave me some BS about their policies. ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY!! So, now I'm going after them with everything I have because I'm tired of companies like this who don't deliver anything and expect to get paid in full.

I highly recommend Acadium! I interviewed two candidates they provided for a marketing role. I chose the stronger fit for the day-to-day, though both were qualified in different ways. Since starting with us a few months ago, this apprentice has integrated with the team, handles their responsibilities consistently, brings a fresh and eager perspective, and has generally been a great addition to the team. Acadium does an excellent job selecting candidates who are both qualified and committed, making the interview and onboarding process incredibly smooth.

I was matched with a mentor, and right off the bat, I was immersed in marketing and social media. I am so happy I was accepted into the apprenticeship program and got something out of it. I now have a part-time job with my mentor, and I am so grateful.

I was sold a plan for interns that was $1497, their sales team made it sound like a 1 time fee. Turns out 1 yr later I get billed $2.5k because it was actually a annual subscription that renews $1k higher than the initial charge. I contacted them 3 days after the charge was made and they are refusing to offer me a refund for the new charge.

Terrible company. I payed for 4 interns, because I didn't use them quickly enough I only got to sign up 3 and the 3rd quit almost immediately then I got charged $2.5k because I didn't cancel my membership before they renewed it. Terrible experience I would never recommend them to any business owner looking for interns.

I originally joined Acadium on August 6, 2025, paying $1,498.20 for a plan to work with 4 apprentices over the course of a year. I successfully worked with 3 apprentices, but due to changing business circumstances, I could no longer continue with the platform. Exactly one year later, on August 6, 2026, I was shocked to see a charge of $2,497.00 on my account. The original purchase was never presented to me as an ongoing recurring subscription, and I was especially caught off guard by such a massive price increase nearly $1,000 more than my initial payment. I immediately reached out to Acadium to request a refund. After receiving no initial response, I was eventually offered only a partial discount, which I declined as I no longer require the service and have not used the platform. Charging a customer thousands of dollars on an unexpected auto-renewal especially after a steep price hike and then refusing a full refund is unacceptable customer care. According to Acadium’s Help Center documentation, "Payments are non-refundable once you are introduced to a candidate." For this new billing period: I have not submitted a new apprentice request. No recruitment efforts or candidate introductions have taken place. Zero services have been rendered. I urge Acadium management to step in, do the right thing, and issue a full refund for this unused charge.

Acadium does a great job identifying and placing interns aligned to your specific need. The weekly assessments provide employers and interns the opportunity to evaluate progress and experience on an ongoing basis. I highly recommend Acadium!

Great ideas, and fast, responsive support regarding my social media needs.
