Monster for EmployersReviews of hiring.monster.com

From an employers standpoint, Monster falls well short of any expectations that I have. I have the same ad on 3 different job sites. Monster, by far is the lowest performing site when it comes to applicants applying for the position posted. When I called to see if they could help me understand why I had 80(ish) clicks and only 1 person actually apply for the job, the answer I received was they can't force people to apply for the job. 1 out of 80!! I didn't even get the applicants that are under qualified trying to apply for it;1 applicant out of 80. Mind you, I paid $299 for the month and put in a budget of $300 for paid clicks (essentially boosting the job posting). Needless to say, I won't be using this job site to find employees moving forward.

The New Search Monster Solution is awful and useless. Though monster boast its more powerful, reality is useless, old product or solution whatever we call is way better. I don't think monster is taking negative feedback serious and putting genuine effort in giving value to their customers. Placing a Job ad is not so helpful, they have many restrictions is ad display, and response was very bad, not even single useful resume. Resume database search is bad, again many restrictions. they need to immediately improve and give value to the customers. I doubt if they are providing access to complete database.

Received all candidates with no relevance to job posting. Disappointed in support Do not recommend..

Just not getting the responses I would have expected

Despite modifying my job listing with the suggestions of a monter.com rep, I have not received a single viable applicant. Our job is in northern California and is very plainly labeled as such. All applicants have been from southern California and none have met the minimum job requirements for experience and education.

As a Recruiter that's used Monster since 2014, this new update has been awful. This Update has taken away the competitiveness of my Job & I'm losing $$ because of it. Candidates that post today aren't found until 2 days from now. I can't select candidates that Post TODAY, it's frustrating. I'm a huge believer in the Boolean Search it's accurate. Now when I use my Boolean Search, highlighted words aren't popping up, I insert my Mechanical Engineering Boolean Search into the Semantic Search, & Nurses, Coaches, Cashiers are coming up. There's more buttons, clicks, & reading that I'm doing on this New Platform & I'm losing Time & $$ because of it. You've gone from being the #1 Recruiting platform to being like Indeed, Zip Recruiter, & all the others. I hope you can make changes back to the Classic Search & get rid of all the extra clutter that the New Platform has. Thank you

Not having any luck w/ hiring or finding viable candidates. Not working out so well for me. However, Brian Hepburn could not possibly have been more helpful. 5 Stars for Brian personally!!!!!!

Almost 100% of resumes were from people way outside of our store and trade area. Totally useless recommendations
