    Monster.com is very excellent for professionals who are in need of candidate database with effective cost. The customer service is very good in term of explaining new features and accepting user reviews. Even though it is cost effective it doesn't fail to meet the user needs. I …

    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 …

    Monster.com Vs. Dice.com Vs. Indeed.com Vs. Naukri.com Vs. LinkedIn.com Monster has a larger database than Dice Monster and has a broader reach across all sectors not related to tech. With Monster, we can attract more active candidates than passive ones that LinkedIn uses. …

    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 …

    We evaluated two more job boards. One of them was free of charge and it is much harder to manage meaning the layout of software is not easy. The other service that we used, we barely got applicants at all.

    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 …

    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
    Monster
    • 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.

    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.

    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.
