Monster for EmployersReviews of hiring.monster.com

Sales guys literally lying to sell product but not keeping the word. They sold the product for 10K and terminated the contract after 6 months. Very unethical business practices.

I get great results from Monster, but posting my job could be easier. I have difficulty in retrieving old job descriptions, posting where I want to, and selecting what it should be posted under. The interface is difficult to use and is somewhat clunky.

salary range should be part of the candidate info when doing a candidate search before opening the candidates profile It should be mandatory the candidate puts in salary range

getting worse and worse over the years

A mistake was made, the sales rep would not call me back. I had to contact the accounting staff several times. I finally spoke to the Sales Manager who refused to help me even though this was clearly an error on Monster's part. I had to escalate the issue all the way up to the CEO of my company to get the issue resolved. I am extremely dissatisfied.

Monster, about a decade ago, was a fantastic job board for finding and hiring engineering talent. We signed a long-term agreement with them that was supposed to allow us access to their entire candidate database system and when they bought&integrated new companies like talentbin, instead of adding those resumes/profiles to their existing talent database they made a new product that forced us to either pay more money for it or to just not use it... when you sign an agreement for access to an entire candidate database you should have access to it so we opted not to pay them any more money and frankly have felt cheated by them. DO NOT TRUST ANY AGREEMENT FOR LONGER THAN ONE YEAR THAT YOU SIGN WITH MONSTER! We found there's been a decrease in both applications to our job postings and the amount of candidates returned on searches year-to-year. Before we signed the long term deal, Monster produced between 4 to 8 hires a year; after signing the long term agreement the best year they have had was 3 candidates from Monster hired, only had 1 hire via them last year and we have not made a hire from Monster this year as of May 2016. Be extremely cautious doing business with them, when they change their products instead of grandfathering you in and keeping you within your budget that you contractually signed to they will try to squeeze more money from you for a product that has consistently returned fewer results year by year.

Monster has been good to us over the years for finding qualified candidates. Typically the applications/candidate resumes are a decent fit for the roles we have advertised. Only minor complaints. When positing a job, the categories which a specific job falls under (mostly technology related) need to be added/updated to include more current positions. Also, when positing a job description, even when using the included 'copy/paste' tool, the formatting is inconsistent. (font size change, bullet points are further apart...etc.)

This is the best job portal for both candidates and employers. easy to use with exact results.. Monster Rocks!!
