Overall Satisfaction with Monster.com
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.
- Shows interested candidates

- Monster.com's interface feels a little outdated at times
- It could have strong filter options

- Ways to transfer mass amounts of candidates to other platforms
- Reusable job postings
- Email alerts for when people are looking for work
- Candidate search tools

- Continuous job posting options
- Monster.com does have a smaller candidate pool/pipeline which is negative at times
- We have been able to fill many job openings for our clients using Monster.com
- SeekOut and LinkedIn Jobs
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.
