Anyone job hunting, especially International students - : Avoid Farhoon Asim
He is taking false credit for candidates who land jobs on their own (would have happened without him anyway) - 99.9% of his 300 odd clients who he charges £700 a month just to give chat GPT advice and also use them to post “i will work for free, please give me sponsorship, thanks to farhoon asim” posts is cringe and more reach for him.
Guy is a serial predator who preys on the vulnerable section- graduates mostly from south asia (India and Pakistan). Trust me, save that money and put it to better use (£20 GPT pro) or just for your own god damn expenses. Cringe guy and cringe way doing business by pure exploitation.

This should be on linked in and recruiters made aware. Job market is hard enough without disgusting scammers.
Make him known
most recruiters aren't self aware, tbh.
A lot of people wont comment on linkedin seeing they give away their identity and appears on their connections feed. But he needs to be EXPOSED
Shame him on LinkedIn or whatever he's on.
But also, how are people PAYING to find a job without thinking it's a scam?
Desperation leads to naive decisions - He is filled with testimonials from successful candidates and passing it off as some workshop that changed them as a person. so cringe
Also just so you are further aware OP and others - Farhoon lies about having ever had sponsorship.
He was born in Ireland, and his family moved back to Pakistan.
He worked at KPMG, got fired, applied for his Irish passport and never had to worry about getting sponsored again.
It’s well known to people outside of his students. If you want to DM me - I have a voice note where he speaks on the whole thing and admits to never getting sponsored.
All he actually cares about is making money, and he does this in truly unethical ways.

Anything that requires you paying someone money as a jobseeker is just downright scamming….🙃
Are you saying candidates are paying £700 a month?
Was 650$ this morning for his program, now shows a different figure https://www.skool.com/international-hustlers-academy/about
Shows $262/year for me. Companies that claim to help international students get visa are notorious for predatory behaviour.
I know. I swear it was $658 a month when i last checked it this morning. Perhaps check in a few days and it will be different
It's $745 dollars a month now lol
Wow! I did NOT know he's charging that much PER MONTH!
No offense, but the users who spend money on him are more worrying than the man himself
Lol fully agree.

Thanks for sharing man. I sensed he’s a twat
Fucking prick!
Shocking stuff!
I literally had no doubt in the guy according to his testimonials!
Can I have it too?
Sure dm me
Hi, sent a DM
Omg I never knew he's a famous predator exploiting on desperate people. I unfollowed him today because I felt like he was bragging about his 'subscribers' landing a sponsored job but actually it's their hard work without the silly membership he's exploiting. Check his recent LinkedIn post of him on TedX there's a shotty Photoshop Job 😭
Think someone needs to exploit him on a photoshop course 😭😭
This is hilarious. Proper fraud
He’s the most disrespectful person of all times too, I have heard what he did to his ex girlfriend and how he kicked her down to the curb in the middle of the night
Sent you a DM
Absolutely true
He’s even started a lifestyle page showing off his influencer style days with the scammed money from desperate international students 🤦🏻♂️
I joiend Farhoon's institute recently before I saw the reviews about him online. Even though they promise CV reviews, you do not get your CV reviewed and the people that do it is clearly a ChatGPT job.
Something that did n't seem right with me is that he asked his paying customers to leave a trustpilot review for him and if you do this you can have a 1:1 call with him and linkedin premium subscription. this is very unethical and a bribe to get 5 star reviews on his trustpilot.
the way he runs his business is not moral and i will cancel my membership it is not worth it
Someone should actually take him down, indeed
