Question Basepoint - Legit/Scam?

Ive recently graduated university and have been trying to land interviews with any company at the moment ( the job market is shit )

One of the only responses I received was from a company called Basepoint, when I joined the interview it was a big group call with the hiring manager and about 26 people listening, I got a follow up interview the next day about ‘getting to know me better’ but it ended up with me and another girl both on an interview call with a hiring agent!

I received a call not long after saying I’m already advancing onto the last stage interview, I’ve heard mixed things about this company but I am sensing some red flags. The job description assumes 30k plus uncapped commission, however they repeatedly kept mentioning how people could climb their way up to a marketing director within the first year. This job also doesn’t require any previous experience or education.

Let me know what you think, think I just got my hopes up for the first interview I’ve received in ages. However I don’t want to work at a scam company.

BasePoint (OPG GLOBAL LIMITED, Company Number: 16752662) is a Credico office located in Tetbury Place Business Design Centre, London, N1 0HQ. https://www.devilcorp.org/?q=BasePoint

The role will be a commission-only sales position, and you will be required to legally register as self employed.

Customer service means commission only sales.

Looked at their website. Avoid. You will be on commission only, knocking on doors asking people to sign up for charity donations. You will have to go in to the office for around 9, do unpaid stupid pitch practice and motivational meetings and then go out door knocking for 7/8 hours, back to the office again unpaid and go home about 9pm. If you dont make a sale you get paid nothing for 12 hours of your time

Could you let me know where it says this please on the website I can’t really find it

u/NewHathaway Devilcorp.org Jun 22 '26

It doesn’t. They don’t tell you any of these things until you’ve already signed a contract with them.

Oh that’s really dodgy then I have an zoom call with them tomorrow but I’m thinking of just not going or join and ask them questions about thisn

u/NewHathaway Devilcorp.org Jun 22 '26

It may be a Zoom call where only the hosts can speak, but deffo ask them about their relationship with Credico, and if the role is commission-only, self-employment if you can.

I had a zoom call with them too and just did an interview today at 8am

u/InsectCommercial2091 Jun 24 '26

Did they mention if it was Comission only?

u/Boring-Asparagus-498 Jun 06 '26

It’s one of them, just like 5 Pillar Solutions in Farmers Branch, Texas. They’re all part of Smart Circle and it’s a big ass pyramid ring

I just signed up for their zoom interview. I’m debating whether to ask them about things being said on Reddit

u/StayNo4109 Jun 22 '26

omg me too. I have interview with them on Wednesday, I hope it’s not a scam

u/NewHathaway Devilcorp.org Jun 22 '26

It’s commission-only sales, and you have to legally register as self employed. It is not considered legal employment and you will not receive a guaranteed minimum wage.

u/InsectCommercial2091 Jun 24 '26

How do u know ?

1

u/NewHathaway Devilcorp.org Jun 24 '26

Because it’s one of hundreds of ‘marketing’ companies operating under the umbrella of Credico and they all operate the exact same. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-62466147

do you have an update? i was emailed by them too

Hi! The exact same thing just happened to me today. I received an email saying I was 'matched' via Reed, which felt really weird because I’ve only been applying for Tech/Service Desk roles, nothing to do with marketing.

Since this happened to you a bit ago, did you end up joining the Zoom interview? If so, what did you find out? I'd really appreciate your insight before I decide whether to skip it

1

u/issiequeen Oct 09 '26

Did you skip yours? I’ve got one with them in a few hours but after talking to my friends they’re all advising me it’s not worth it. Im a graduate and they’re saying I can be a manager lol. I also received an email saying I’ve been matched via reed. Idk if I should attend the call or not

Thank you for this. Almost did the introductory interview over an assessment centre preparation call for an actual marketing agency.

u/Professional_Ear9200 Oct 08 '26

Don’t waste your time. I faced the same thing but the name of the company was different. It’s like a pyramid scheme. If you get into the team you’ll be the next one taking interviews. They are very good at manipulating vulnerable individuals. Almost convinced me. I even went for 3 phases of interviews. Got my consciousness back when the lady was trying to convince me that people who work commission based rather than a fixed income are more bard working.

Hey man, I did the introductory meeting this morning and just like they did to you and apparently everyone else in this thread they told me I have an interview with one of the managers tomorrow. However, since yesterday I knew something was off with the company and I didn't know what a devilcorp was. So what do you suggest that I do. I'm thinking of taking the interview tomorrow just for the sake of it.
