Chose Dice TalentSearch
I received multiple candidates only after hours of posting my jobs on other sites. And for a fraction of the cost! I not only received quality candidates but also candidates who actually matched my requirements. These sites also have the option for proactive outreach and …
Overall, I think we selected and have stayed with DICE because it has a strong concentration of IT specific resources. They also seem to have a good number of candidates who are looking for independent consulting work which best aligns with our current business model. But I …
They all have different features, methodologies/techniques and value. I feel overall Dice Open Web is the most Flexible, Creative Search Tool; yet have already used JobDiva for several years and seems to be a very good ATS. I've been recruiting, sourcing and managing talent …
I started using Monster.com in my initial days of recruiting and the UI of Monster.com is much interactive and user friendly. While using CareerBuilder.com I faced many issues while sorting profiles location-wise and keyword-wise so there is no comparison between Monster.com …
Attracts candidates. Matches candidates to positions. Weeds out unqualified candidates. Easy to use.Advertising for open positions. Doesn't force you to change your password every other month or so. Very logical layout of the website. The search strings are very accurate. If …
The powerful feature that Monster has is its Boolean search, which is incredible. The resumes that pop up are the ones that are not able to be found on any other job boards. The Power Resume Search feature is the pro here. When it comes to Dice, the filters help us find the …
Indeed - You cannot do active sourcing on this. It is only passive recruiting in which you need to wait for the candidate to get back to you. Also the number of candidates that you can approach is limited. With Monster you can do active hiring and there is no limit to which you …
DICE Open Web works well when you want to find IT specific candidates that are available in your local area. What I particularly like is that if you post a job, Dice Open Web/Talent Search will return potential candidates that meet your requirements. It is a proactive way they provide candidates from what you could do manually using their IntelliSearch tool to find candidates. I find that DICE is overall much more effective when you have a job to post and the candidates apply rather than doing a blind search. There are too many factors that make candidates returned by DICE Open Web not necessarily interested in your position. When candidates apply they have shown interest and then you can apply the Screener tool to help narrow the pool.
It is very well for the IT recruitment. Database of the C2C is candidate is very large and very helpful. Monster.com timely do the updates so less bugs and less issues compared to other portals. Using different to get the best potential candidate is very good while using Monster Job Portal.
Dice Open Web seemed to not be able to keep up with other platforms and some features and functionality were either missing or quickly became obsolete.
It doesn't really seem to remain competitive on the landscape and feel behind in product release and feature updates.
Some information was outdated and didn't get regularly refreshed or updated it seemed. Just kind of churning the same information as before or the lack of reach was evident over time.
Monster.com can improve on its data redundancy aspect. It frustrates the users to look at or access the same sets of results or the same applications again and again.
It can also look into the spam feature. There are ways one can spam it by taking out information.
I'm assuming we will keep using DICE, but Indeed and LinkedIn are starting to prove their value and strength in having candidates/consultants use their services to look for new opportunities.
Dice provides ease of sourcing candidates and is the most useful in staffing industry. However, we still recommend the team to provide older version access to the user which was much easier and flexible to use. Dice posting is the best feature in Dice. The Boolean Search feature in Dice is also very useful.
Monster is a job portal with rich features and a great depth of database in candidates. They also have a good search option that is able to display the right candidates when you search for them. The only gripe that I have about Monster is that they need to improve their database of candidates when it comes to blue-collar jobs or non-software jobs.
I received multiple candidates only after hours of posting my jobs on other sites. And for a fraction of the cost! I not only received quality candidates but also candidates who actually matched my requirements. These sites also have the option for proactive outreach and pay-by-click options as well. Some also provide free trials, which Dice does not.
I think Monster.com fills a different niche. SeekOut/LinkedIn are more about finding candidates from the overall pool of millions of profiles and resumes. Monster.com shows you immediately who is looking, who is applying, etc. Monster.com also has the salary tools, which I think is very unique. The other sites do not have that and aren't as transparent about the market. Which I think is very valuable during competitive hiring times like these.
Using Monster.com gives us a sense of confidence in a time-tested platform.
We know that using Monster.com will be a better use of our time and resources.
By knowing we are working with a jobs posting partner like Monster.com we know that we will get to the positive, timely, qualified applicants we're looking for.
Time is money and Monster.com helps us save a lot of both.
