    Chose CareerBuilder.com
    I do not think that CareerBuilder.com is a very good job posting site. It does not provide you with quality applicants like some other products I have used. Not only does it provide a low number of candidates, the ones we do get to tend to be repeat applicants or are not …

    Chose CareerBuilder.com
    CareerBuilder.com does not come close to measuring up to their competitors. I've been working with PandoLogic and Indeed since I still had to find qualified candidates for my clients and the difference in performance, quality of candidates, and customer service is like night …

    Chose CareerBuilder.com
    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. …

    Chose CareerBuilder.com
    CareerBuilder did not meet our needs because of this we stopped using them. We have found Indeed to be the best hiring platform out there, and we have looked at ALL OF THEM. We spent money that did not turn in to new hires, so it was a waste. It appeared like CareerBuilder …

    Chose CareerBuilder.com
    We were sold on CareerBuilder's "exclusive" contract with Google, and the ease of linking our website marketing to the platform. We googled our CareerBuilder job posting, to find them 5 pages deep. When we questioned these results with our account manager, he had no response. …

    ZipRecruiter is far superior to CareerBuilder.com in every way. We were placing applicants in jobs within days of signing with ZR.

    CareerBuilder.com offers a better selection. It is almost as if a more responsible group of people utilize it.

    Chose CareerBuilder.com
    CareerBuilder.com was one of the first employment advertising that our company has used and we have been using it for about 7 years. Since then, we have tried other employment advertising (Monster.com, Indeed.com, LinkedIn, RecruitMilitary, and ZipRecruiter) and we have …

    Chose CareerBuilder.com
    Indeed seems to be having some similar issues which is why I tried Careerbuilders. However Careerbuilders was even lower quality despite their marketing that suggests they have more qualified applicants.

    Chose CareerBuilder.com
    CareerBuilder.com is a different animal than LinkedIn Jobs. LinkedIn pulls candidates who are passive, whereas CareerBuilder.com targets more active candidates in the market. LinkedIn has served as a much more viable resource for sourcing higher level candidates, who are not …

    Chose CareerBuilder.com
    CareerBuilder.com's resume database functions just like any other job board. I believe the market is shifting away from job boards. What sets it apart is its stellar data tools.

    Chose CareerBuilder.com
    CareerBuilder proved to have more candidates and an easier interface than Monster. However, Indeed has a much higher volume of candidates in their pool and LinkedIn provides many more search parameters and a better platform for reaching out directly to candidates.

    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.

    Pros
    CareerBuilder
    • 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

    Cons
    CareerBuilder
    • 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.

    Usability
    CareerBuilder
    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.

    CareerBuilder
    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.

    Return on Investment
    CareerBuilder
    • 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
