Monster.com sold themselves as the recruitment company but this is far from the truth of the matter, as if you live on the coast ( Rhyl) of the UK your job search on their program will going out to sea and when you tell them you have had no one reply to your job ad they tell you to move the job over to another town like Wrexham & Chester when your looking for someone local, and not from outside of the area. On complaining they make out its you and not them as candidates are not interested in your job and couldn't care less if you find someone or not and all their interested in is the money We have moved over to indeed and within 2 days bang people are applying for the three jobs we have on offer and all three jobs have now been filled and guess what not one person has applied from Monster.com tells you everything about Monster.com. Don't waste your money or your time with Monster.com, go straight to Indeed if you want results.

We use Monster.com as a means of finding the right candidates for job openings. I work as a contracted recruiter for companies, and Monster.com often has a great range of people actively looking for work. We also submit job descriptions to get a feel for who is out there in the market. I feel the people on Monster.com are more niche than the ones on competing sites, and it makes the response rate much higher.
Pros and Cons
  • Shows interested candidates
  • Shows relevant job openings
  • Post job openings
  • Strong search parameters
Likelihood to Recommend
I think Monster.com is great in terms of finding interested candidates. Instead of cold-calling/contacting people out of the blue that may not be looking for work, you can set up an open job posting and see what the market is currently like. As stated before, I think the community/people who use Monster.com is smaller than some of the other large competing sites, which is actually beneficial for recruiters like me. I can find the people avidly looking for work and reach out to them.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
As a technical recruiter Monster.com is one of the best platforms I use almost all day to search for various candidates who are looking for various jobs in Information technology or Non-IT. It provides the best quality resumes. In Monster.com as a recruiter we got the option to look for candidates in different locations while the person is looking for full-time opportunity or part-time. It somehow plays a most important role in my day to day recruiting life and I will highly recommend Monster.com to other recruiters as well to use it on daily basis to get better results in their careers.
Pros and Cons
  • Location search.
  • Candidates who updated resume recently.
  • Easy to use and user friendly.
  • Keyword search.
Likelihood to Recommend
While using Monster.com in everyday recruiting it gives wide options to look for candidates. Sometimes it happens that while I thought that a profile might be fake, seeing those profiles with company started and review the thoughts change completely and somehow the problem is resolved in Monster.com only. So it's highly recommend by me to other recruiters to sort profiles through Monster.com only.

We use Monster.com to post for current job openings. We use it in HR department only. So far we had a very pleasant experience with that software. It is easy to manage, easy to navigate.
Pros and Cons
  • Easy of use.
  • Advertising for open positions.
  • Doesn't force you to change your password every other month or so.
  • Very logical layout of the website.
Likelihood to Recommend
Monster.com is suitable for companies that are looking to fill positions and looked for new hires constantly.
If there are two or more people in the same department who work in recruiting, it is a little harder to manage notifications. Since they can only be send to one address. So I would say users at the same company should be able to customize notifications or who receives what and when.

I have used Monster.com for many years as an employer looking to hire and also as someone looking for a new job. As an employer, we used Monster as a reliable platform for us to post open positions with the knowledge that we could rely on a solid response of viable applicants. This definitely made it easier for us to approach the hiring process with a sense of confidence.
Pros and Cons
  • 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
I give Monster.com a high rating and recommendation to employers and applicants alike. I find that as a platform in a competitive environment, Monster has been a long-time, reliable resource for job placements and for searching for new jobs. With the proliferation of other job posting sites, Monster has remained a place that stands above the lesser quality online job boards that feel kind of like they are looking just to get your personal information that they then will go on to sell to the scammy, spammy online jobs posting sites.

Since I work for a company that hires resources in the United States, I, as a recruiter mostly depend upon Monster.com for all my technical hiring needs. It is a powerful resource for any organization that is looking to hire talents across the said region. The whole of my department works on Monster.com and has been benefited from it. It has many unique features and has established better standards compared to those rival job boards that are out there in the market. Monster.com not only has the largest database of candidates but also offers some of the most comprehensive career tools and resources that help in finding the right career for the right candidates. There are a lot of job listings in the job portal for the candidates to pick the right one that matches their skill-sets. It is not only about going through all the job postings that have been made in the portal, but also about the services and the outcomes that it provides for both the candidates and the employers. There are a lot of different ways one can search for resumes from the database so that one might end up in finding the right fit.
Pros and Cons
  • It has a very streamlined application process that enables users/job-seekers to upload and update their resumes in a timely manner. They can also apply for multiple jobs with just a click of a button that saves time.
  • For employers, it is one of the best offerings on the market. Multiple job postings and a handful of premium features enabling the optimal use of the resource to find the right talent quickly.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is absolutely free for job seekers, and in many ways, it helps the job seekers in the market to find the right job for them. Also, there are numerous career advice for the users to follow and get benefited out of it. It has resume writing services as well so it helps the job seekers right from scratch until they find the right job. So for job seekers, it's a win.
On the other hand, let's consider a small business. They will find it very difficult and expensive to list their jobs in Monster.com. Comparatively, there are sites like Indeed offering free postings. So if there is any support that can be extended here, it would be helpful.

I have been recruiting for the past 5 years and almost all the time if there is one job portal that I go to it is Monster. No recruitment team is complete without the services of Monster. I have been utilizing it for all my recruitment needs. Monster is the best job portal that a recruiter would require when they hire for any needs within the business zone. The database of job seekers keeps improving and the quality is also impressive. Hiring is the business problem that Monster caters to and it does it really well.
Pros and Cons
  • The database search is very strong in Monster. You can add even the basic of skills and you can be rest assured that any resume which has the keyword being searched will be brought out in the search result. You need to know what you are searching for and the correct profiles will be populated for you.
  • The whole software is snappy and quite fast when you use it. It does not take time to download resumes, to showcase the search results, to populate the results, and also to add them into your own personal folders within Monster. The whole experience is very fast which is very important for a fast-paced recruiter.
Likelihood to Recommend
Monster is a great option if you are hiring for technology related positions and in an area which is proliferated with the software crowd. You can find a plethora of candidates all across your salary range and also the experience levels. You can also find candidates based on their level of experience in certain domains too.

Monster lacks the database for blue-collar jobs or non-software jobs and the result is the same irrespective of the location. All across the locations, the database is just not rich enough for such jobs. The candidates are just not present.
