CareerBuilder.com

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.

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.

In my opinion, CareerBuilder.com was once a strong job board, but it is no longer. We contracted for a three-month integration that took one month for them to figure out how to make happen, yet they began charging us on day one. The resumes we received from them were not up to standard. We received thousands of resumes that were out of date, from out of the country, and unrelated to our jobs' qualifications. We found ourselves having to block the flow of what CareerBuilder.com was sending us. I tried diligently to work with our account manager but he ultimately ignored us. I escalated through management to legal only to be ignored by them too. If you're looking for a job board with a strong service mentality and good/active candidates I recommend you go elsewhere (ZipRecruiter or Indeed).

Used for resume sourcing in the recruiting department. The entire department was using it to find candidates throughout the United States.

It is used to place ads for open positions we need to fill on a permanent and/or temporary full and/or part time basis. Just the hiring department uses the site and each office has two hiring managers. It assist[s in] getting the word out about open positions in the community.

CareerBuilder.com is being used across the whole organization. The company uses it for employment advertising and to post jobs. It also has a talent network feature where candidates that are passively looking at your job postings can apply at a later date when the right opportunity is available from your company. You can also search candidates in your talent network when there is a position you need to fill.

We subscribed to CareerBuilder's to help us locate senior level candidates for loan processing after not receiving very good results over indeed. It was clear with the first week the candidates were significantly less qualified, and I am sorry to say, fraudulent. There were multiple 'baristas' that applied in addition to wildly made up names with skills that were copy pasted from the internet (and even repeating the same list). I interviewed one gal and who was reading off her other screen. Loan Processing is a skilled position. This young lady had no idea what she was talking about. Zero. And she was one of the better applicants in terms of resume. I would have passed on leaving a negative review, except that I had checked the account not to auto-renew, and after what felt like a month the applicants kept coming in. I contacted their customer support for help and they were unwilling to rectify the billing. So I recommend you steer clear of CareerBuilders on multiple fronts. I could copy/paste a list of applicant names - you would be astonished at all the fraudulent antics. An interspersed use of ALL CAPS with foreign sounding names (clearly fictitious, not the real names of foreign people) and people who have neglected to capitalize their own last name? This does not happen. I've been searching talent bases a long time and never seen such a blatant example of automation trying to look like people. I guess they don't have enough real applicants to justify their fee, and are now willing to grab money where they can. Perhaps at some point they had quality applicants. Not so today.

We use CareerBuilder.com to source candidates & for market data. It mostly solves the problem of setting expectations for market compensation info & candidate availability in a given market.

Our organization uses CareerBuilder.com to source potential candidates for our clients' open job requisitions. CareerBuilder is one of a handful of resources we currently use for this function. It provides additional candidates and applicants that may not be found on some of the other major job/resume databases. The functionality allows our firm to communicate, create lists folders, and share candidates internally.

Our recruiting team used CareerBuilder to post jobs and source candidates. Typically, we used it when hard-to-fill jobs needed candidates and we would search through candidate profiles and reach out to potential hires.
