CareerBuilder.com vs. Monster.com

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.

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.

• 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

• Monster.com is the best to find the talented resources. For an instance a company is looking for a software engineer, Monster.com can access resumes qualified candidates with diverse backgrounds and skill sets.
• Monster.com has the best filter options that help employers to fetch the best resources.
• Monster.com excels in offering user-friendly recruitment platform that fulfill to the needs of employers in attracting, screening, and hiring top talent.

• 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.

• 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.

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 gave this rating because, as an organization or a recruiter monster, it has a lot of pros and cons. We can easily neglect those cons as long as we are able to fulfill our needs or meet the expectations related to the open roles. It is easy to use, and it is fast and convenient.

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.

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.

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.

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.

• 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

• Since we are able to close positions using Monster the reliability and trust factor has gone up with the clients that we deliver to.
• The hiring for vacancies has increased substantially and this is a good thing for the business as a whole.
