Overall Satisfaction with CareerBuilder.com

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.
  • Easy to post jobs - Intuitive and painless process.
  • Good dashboard with candidate information provides a great picture of what candidates are applying and helps us shape targeting.
  • Could use more search functionality - Including additional search parameters would help make finding the best candidates easier.
  • Not as many people in candidate pool as other job boards.
  • Saw an influx in candidates and about 25-30% mentioned CareerBuilder as the site they applied through.
  • Ended up ultimately not providing the right candidates and wasn't worth the cost for our business.
CareerBuilder proved to have more candidates and an easier interface than Monster. However, Indeed has a much higher volume of candidates in their pool and LinkedIn provides many more search parameters and a better platform for reaching out directly to candidates.
We did not end up needing to utilize CareerBuilder's support.

CareerBuilder is a decent job board but I would typically suggest it as a backup option to other boards. It holds a decent amount of candidates and has good functionality to shape up your posting and who you are targeting, but lacks in search parameters and this makes it a little less valuable than other tools.
