Hello Hannes Messner,
We always appreciate constructive feedback. However this review is misleading, untrue and leaves out important context.
Hannes Messner was never a customer or client of our company. He was briefly considered for engagement as an independent contractor, but never ended up working with our company since he refused to follow our polices and the mandatory monitoring platform.
During his onboarding on July 23, 2025, he raised concerns about our time tracking/monitoring platform. We clarified that this platform is used strictly for validating hours worked and maintaining transparency. Our time tracker is GDPR-compliant, and its screenshot functionality is configured to capture only work-related activity.
Despite all these safeguards, he insisted on bypassing the required time tracking/monitoring platform and we found out that he had another job under the same hours on Upwork (later on, he received negative feedback from that client as well). Since that was an exclusive contract and he refused to use our monitoring platform, we did not proceed further with his application. Misrepresenting the situation publicly, after our team engaged in good faith, addressed concerns respectfully, and followed documented procedures throughout, is both misleading and unfair.
Also we take data protection and compliance seriously. As part of our recruitment process, which began with his initial assessment on July 3, 2025, he signed a GDPR Authorization Form on July 14, 2025, that clearly explained how his data would be collected, used, and stored for recruitment and identity verification purposes. Nonetheless, his data has been deleted in line with EU regulations, and we wish him well on future endeavors.
