Benefitfocus vs. CareerSiteBuilder

It is well suited for a small company of maybe 300-400. It is less appropriate for companies in areas where a transit and parking benefit is a must.

If you have a job opening or a high turn around rate like we do. (we are a staffing company) [CareerSiteBuilder] is a great place to to start. It is affordable and reaches hundreds of potential employees. When you search resumes sometimes when you enter keywords you have to play around with it to find the right phrasing. Its not difficult just time consuming.

• Great at selling their product but not keeping their promises.
• Too many glitches and they always advise it will be updated/corrected on their next "quarterly update".
• They can't administer QTB plans (parking and transit) which is an essential benefit plan offered to companies. They didn't officially come out with this news until after we had implemented and launched the program. During implementation, they made it appear like it would work.

Incentivized

• There are some missing functionalities that could be addressed such as fusing resume search and recruitment edge.

Did not research any, as we were using Benefitfocus for our Allstate benefits for years prior to implementing it with all benefits.

Affordable, quick, easy, super user friendly, well known, offers a large variety of job seekers[.]

• It was a negative impact because we launched the program during open enrollment only to revert back to the old platform, BeneTrac, 3 months later.
• Bad impression on the benefits team to implement a program that didn't deliver.

Incentivized

• We have been able to present MORE candidates to our clients in the staffing industry, and therefore fill more positions.
• We are able to find MORE QUALIFIED candidates using search features, to in turn fill more direct-hire positions.
• We have to pay or Career Builder for thousands of people, so that takes away from ROI.
