Monster for EmployersReviews of hiring.monster.com

I had pretty good results in terms of candidates applying, but too many were outside the city where the posts are based. I would also like to see application notification email titles vary by applicant, e.g. have the titles include the applicant name, because Gmail currently groups Monster applications, and this is a problem when trying to organise applications into folders.

Fair amount of responses but none with any qualifications for the jposition.

I have used Monster for the last three openings over the last two years or so. Appreciate the ease in posting and the quality of candidates. Price seems fair, desired add-ons/features are more common that results in a price increase. Dealing with customer service gets more frustrating each time I need to get an issue resolved quickly. Also, my account rep changes frequently.

Gave a specific title and scope of work. I received a lot of resumes, but not within the scope of what I requested. We needed accounting experience not medical caregivers, fast food servers or dog walkers. Thank you anyways.

For whatever reason, applicants do not bother including a cover letter even when the job posting clearly states that a cover letter is required to be considered for the position.

We were seeking a preschool teacher for a part time, relatively low wage position. Although many people viewed our posting, we received no qualified candidates and less than 10 resumes. We selected a short term contract with Monster, not realizing that we had to pay an additional fee to search and view resumes. Monster was not worth the cost for our organization. Indeed worked much better for us and supplied more candidates, albeit most were not qualified. We filled the position with a candidate from Indeed.

I could not be more thrilled with the quality of customer service. The rep I worked with walked me through the steps to set up my account and clearly went above and beyond to ensure I understood the procedures. High points there! Thank you! I am vastly disappointed in the quality of the resumes I have received, most do not meet any of the prescribed criteria for the position I posted. I have spent much time going through resumes that are the least qualified for the position or are not qualified at all.

The cost is much higher than other sites but the result is much lower.
