CareerBuilder.com

CareerBuilder.com is used to attract new candidates to the organization for us to hire to vacant positions. This is used outside of our typical HRIS to capture other candidates. Typically this is the best for our rotating positions that tend to have a lot of vacancy. We typically need this application to always be on the backend pulling in new applicants.

• Helped fill Pharmacy Technician roles
• not worth the money for the candidates it pulls

I commissioned CareerBuilder.com to assist me with recruiting efforts as I am the owner and operator of a staffing agency. CareerBuilder.com assured me that by using their platform, I would undoubtedly find the talent my clients needed! CareerBuilder.com gave me and my staff thorough training to ensure everyone knew how to operate the platform to receive optimal results. After 2 months of posting/advertising positions on CareerBuilder.com and not receiving the applicants as promised, I reached out to the CareerBuilder.com staff requesting help. The staff made subtle suggestions, which we implemented, but the results were the same, "zero candidates"! After multiple calls week after week, and 3 months with a zero yield on my return on investment, I requested to cancel my CareerBuilder.com subscription, as I felt at this point CareerBuilder.com was literally taking my money for nothing in return. In my experience, I was told by CareerBuilder.com that I was under a 1-year contract, and to opt out of the subscription, I would have to pay for the entire year $5K. In my experience, I asked CareerBuilder.com if they could release me from the contract since they could clearly see that they were not holding their end of the bargain, but they refused.

• Job postings
• Finding professionals with specific skill sets

• 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

We utilize their system in order to locate quality/qualified candidates.

• Their resume database
• Candidate search

• In my experience, $600/month for multiple months of not working since Feb 2022- bad ROI, not one hire made.
• In my opinion, $600/month with no ROI is a very bad investment for a small business like mine.

We used CareerBuilder to try and source a large number of candidates for positions throughout the USA. The goal of using it was to increase our application flow and try to find employees willing to work in the office. However, we did not meet either of those goals by using CareerBuilder.com and as a result, stopped using them.

• Ability to source candidates throughout the USA.

• There was not a good ROI for the investment we spent with CareerBuilder. It cost us money that did not turn in to employees.
• We spent labor hours trying to get candidates who were ghosting us. So it ended up being a waste of time and manpower as well.

Our firm signed a 5-month contract with Careerbuilder to source office support candidates ranging from entry to executive level. During the 5 month term, I received two qualified candidates, neither completing an interview.

• A pool of current, qualified candidates

• We did not successfully place a single candidate from CareerBuilder. It was a complete loss.
