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.

Well suited for searching the database for qualified resources, not well suited for those posting jobs.

Immediate response, that's what I need. I post the job, there is no waiting one day or two hours to respond to the candidates.
Gives me better visibility, better ability to choose different candidates, I've tried sponsored jobs with deal-breakers and non-deal-breakers. Sometimes is best not to have a deal-breaker for certain jobs because I might pass on a candidate I wouldn't have thought to maybe take a look at.
I've also used the instant match, I'm starting to get better at qualifying those candidates and I had a few applicants from that.

The biggest area for improvement that I see is the automatic job collapsing for posts that are coming from the same company, same title but different locations. A lot of our locations are hiring hourly team members and are within 10-15 miles of each other. This issue significantly reduces the number of applicants that we see and makes our lives as recruiters more difficult when we need to try and manage 75 locations across both concepts that are potentially hiring for 2-3 positions at a time.

CareerBuilder.com is average in terms of overall usability. I am able to post my positions and figure the site out.

Handshake is mainly for the college-age group. We have listed some of our jobs on here before, but never had a good turnout of applicants. We tried ZipRecruiter, but it was easier to manage all of our jobs if they were listed on one site. We would also sometimes have people apply on both our ZipRecruiter listing and our Indeed listing.

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 CareerBuilder.com caused me and my staff months of mental frustration
Higher turnover in general for the positions we have hired for from Indeed which in some instances can hinder productivity. It is important to know that when using Indeed, you are getting volume/quantity and not necessarily top-performing employees.
It seems like the employees found on Indeed are constantly job hunting even when currently employed.
For our large-scale hiring, Indeed, all in all has had a positive impact as we are always able to fill the positions due to the large pool of resumes always on hand.
