    Chose Monster
    It is the least effective tool we use. It's steadily declined in relevance in the marketplace which means that not only do less candidates know about Monster, but also fewer employers known about the platform. I think Indeed has largely taken over Monster's position in the …

    I would definitely recommend Glassdoor.com to colleagues who are looking to get insights into the inner workings of an organization by the people who know it best - its employees. The variation of reviews of employees at all levels within an organization. The benefit to this is that it delivers a well-rounded perspective that provides deeper understanding of a company and the ways that they are perceived externally and how they operate in actual terms of acting as a reliable establishment to work for or work with.

    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.

    Cons
    Glassdoor
    • Glassdoor is an expensive product and price needs to be lower for employers.
    • They have to find a way to stop companies from rigging their ratings by asking their employees to post positive reviews.
    • Also, somehow they need to figure out if the negative review is an attempt to show their frustration by an employee rather than the true picture of the organization.

    • 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.

    I see no reason at this time to change how we would continue to work with Glassdoor.com as a go-to resource for our hiring needs. As we look to hire in the future we will certainly return to Glassdoor.com as well as recommend Glassdoor.com to colleagues and anyone we know who is looking for a platform that they can look to for reliable employee resourcing.

    Usability
    Glassdoor
    It's improved but I still find it it a bit complex and challenging to navigate. There's a lot I can't see as an unpaid employer account but it generally takes me some time to get to what I can see whether that's trying to research my own company's feedback scores from past or current employees, the feedback other companies are receiving, or job postings

    With the use of Monster.com I can get my job done with the turn around time. The user interface is very good to use and anyone can use it at the first time. It has saved search features which is very useful for tracking. Mainly, it is useful for both job seekers as well as for the recruiters.

    Support Rating
    Glassdoor
    Support is generally excellent, but there can be a fair amount of bureaucracy at times for requests. The support people are very knowledgeable of the platform, but sales seem to regurgitate the same info when trying to negotiate or upsell a client. Technical issues are rare and usually solved quickly.

    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.

    Glassdoor.com appears to operate a bit differently compared to some of the other recruiting platforms I regularly use. From my experience, it doesn’t seem to have the same level of engagement or reach among job seekers. Although it does generate a high volume of applicants, I’ve noticed that many of those applications tend to be from the same individuals I’ve seen through other platforms or previous postings. As a result, it sometimes feels like I’m not getting access to a broader or new pool of talent through Glassdoor.com alone.

    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.

    • It has been helpful to see the responses and if they are something to address.
    • People are more likely to post here vs give the feedback to us directly, so often things will be brought to us we didnt know about.

    • 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.
