Barefoot Student vs. CareerBuilder.com

It is very well suited for entry-level positions, or even part-time or PRN, where they can work around their school schedule. I think for any positions requiring specific experience, this is not going to be the best place to find those types of employees.

CareerBuilder.com is better suited for positions that have a rotating door of employees. These are the positions that you are constantly hiring for such as a CNA. CareerBuilder.com is less suited for hard to fill specialized roles. You tend to get more hits on people who are unqualified, than someone of actual interest.

• They are a great way to target new college grads in a variety of roles.
• They have a huge reach when it comes to colleges both nationwide and across the world.

• In my opinion, take your money for nothing in return
• In my opinion, over promise and under deliver
• In my opinion, deceive customers
• In my opinion, hold you to the terms of their contract, but will not take accountability for lack of results produced
• In my opinion, poor customer service

• The site is a little misleading when you sign up, as I didn't realize I can only post one free job per day.
• The resume database is not easy to filter down.

• We did not see a large amount of applications in comparison to Indeed.
• The applications did not turn in to actual employees. We were more often than not ghosted by the candidates, even though the team followed up with them in a timely manner.

CareerBuilder.com is average in terms of overall usability. I am able to post my positions and figure the site out. However, finding out how many additional options you are is not something easily accessible. If you don't know where to look, you may not be able to find or know how many "boosts" you have to use for the month.

I have had a positive experience with CareerBuilder's support. When the platform has been updated throughout the years, CareerBuilder's account managers have always provided our team with helpful live tutorials and demonstrations to help familiarize our users with new and upcoming features, as well as older features that will no longer be offered. Support team makes themselves available on an ongoing basis.

Barefoot is not in the realm of Indeed or ZipRecruiter, but we have over 8,000 employees, many of whom are probably 18-25, so this targets that specific audience.

WizeHire is one of the most amazing systems I've ever seen. I've continued to share their information with many, and my hope is that they take the hiring world by storm! It's easy to use, they obtain great candidates and many. They're very responsive and always there to help. They care about their clients. I strongly recommend them.

• It has had a positive impact. For the cost, one hire more than pays for this service for months and months.
• Very minimal cost on our end to reach thousands of potential employees.

• I feel I literally gave away $5K to CareerBuilder.com with zero ROI.
• In my opinion, CareerBuilder.com set me back financially because I had to pay another platform to do what CareerBuilder.com promised as I still needed to find qualified candidates for my clients.
• I feel I wasted a lot of time, money, and energy with CareerBuilder.com
• I feel CareerBuilder.com caused me and my staff months of mental frustration
