    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.

    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.

    Monster.com has a very vast database, and there is always the possibility of getting the profile for a particular region or for a specific skill set. It is easier to fetch the profile from mid to senior-level roles and use search all over the world, which means global search is less appropriate because it is costly for a third party or a small company.

    Cons
    Barefoot Student
    • 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.

    • It would be nice if Monster could autofill resumes from applicants from information they provide once.
    • Applicants complain about having to fill in all of the fields for their applications - even though they have submitted their resumes.
    • As an applicant, it would be nice to have greater transparency and updates for when a submitted application is shared, opened, or reviewed. Otherwise there can be a sense of being "ghosted" after having applied and not hearing back.

    With the use of Monster.com I can get my job done with the turn around time. The user interface is very good to use and anyone can use it at the first time. It has saved search features which is very useful for tracking. Mainly, it is useful for both job seekers as well as for the recruiters.

    There are separate helplines for job seekers and employers. The response time is less compared to other customer support organizations that are out there. There are multiple offices in multiple locations so that it will improve the connectivity thereby helping the users in a better way possible. It provides a high standard of service and they also look into feedback seriously and work on it.

    I selected Monster.com for the complete package and very useful database. Find monster.com very easy to use, track the activity of the recruiter as well as of the candidate. Checking inventory remaining is very easy to find in Monster.com. The is the best database to get the qualified candidates in short period.

    • The hiring for vacancies has increased substantially and this is a good thing for the business as a whole.
