Likelihood to Recommend Compared to bulk messaging students who are listed as 'matches' on the job listing page, the segments & campaigns I created were so helpful in identifying leads & helping to convert those leads to applicants without me having to continually follow-up with students (thank you- follow-up email feature!) For roles that require a lot of applicant flow, or for positions that require a large cohort of hires at one time, these features are perfect.

Read full review Pros Connects us with our target audience (current college students and recent graduates). Connects us with a variety of career services offices, building trust in our organization. It provides capacity to our recruiters while also allowing us to balance volume and personalization in recruitment. Read full review Monster makes it easy for us to post jobs on their platform. Working with Monster does an excellent job of providing alerts when applicants submit for open positions. Our applications that we get from Monster applicants are easy for us to segment out for faster sorting and selections. Read full review Cons Ability to directly source and reach out to specific candidates (rather than just a whole pool with campaigns) More flexibility over the way postings look to allow for creativity More details about students on their profiles to make it easier to source the right candidates Read full review 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. Read full review Likelihood to Renew It works and has been a valuable tool for recruitment and talent engagement
Read full review Usability It is intuitive
Read full review Support Rating Becca always responds very quickly to my questions. We had an issue where I couldn't register for a fair because another division of my company had already registered and this problem was fixed the next day. I feel like the team at Handshake Talent Engagement Suite actually cares about my experience. Not all companies do once the contract is signed! They definitely treat their customers well. I literally feel like I am their only customer.
Read full review 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.

Read full review Alternatives Considered I think Handshake is similar to
Linkedin Recruiter in a lot of ways. The main differentiator for me/our company is who we are trying to reach or target. LinkedIn is not an easy platform to find early careers talent on, so Handshake has been the best way for us to connect with schools, register for events easily, advertise to college students and reach them where they are!
Read full review 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.
Read full review Return on Investment Summer internship recruiting for hard to fill roles has grown to be much easier. Without Handshake Talent Engagement Suite, we would be left scrambling to specific school job boards. Hosting a simple one-hour informative event and reaching a large audience has helped with brand awareness. We don't necessarily see immediate obvious results but have been content with our ability to connect with underclassmen, getting them excited to apply for internships in a year or two. Creating a talent segment and sending campaign messages is much more efficient and effective than reaching out to individual candidates with cold calls/emails.

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. Read full review ScreenShots
