Senior Human Resources Manager Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Effective Job Portals Make It Easier To Find Qualified Applicants" December 20, 2022 4.0 It supports keyword searching and is user-friendly. It shows applicants who have recently updated their resumes. Its filters assist in finding qualified applicants based on various geographic areas and job categories. Pros Simple to find and get in touch with applicants. Sorting similar profiles is simple and efficient. The candidate's location and the proximal distance to the employment site are additional advantages in the selection process. Its filter is excellent at showing laid-off candidates who are affected by COVID. You can look for candidates based on their freshness. Cons To create the monster a truly powerful monster, several things must be done. We occasionally receive unqualified individuals or applications; we need to add AI. The database lacks many high-caliber resumes, particularly for prominent IT and non-IT positions. Review Source KI Kenneth I. Window washer Consumer Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Better work for better candidates " November 15, 2024 4.0 My overall experience with monster has been positive in the past. I have been able to build skills to help further my career Pros What I liked best about monster is the variety of job opportunities and the ease of applications for the work you are looking for Cons Most of the applications require experience, not many entry level opportunities to get your foot in the door there are a few, but not as many as there should be Switched from [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) On monster, there was more serious.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Monster job portal review Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Monster Job portal review" September 15, 2022 5.0 When searching for the right candidate, monster job portal is the ideal choice. Pros One of the most user-friendly portals that I have used. So easy to access the right type of candidates be it for the cleared or the non cleared positions. Cons I like most of the features. The only suggestion is to upgrade the user interface. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Customer Experience Analyst Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good Software - Some Missing Features - Some Better Sofware Out There" December 8, 2022 3.0 Pros Being able to post multiple job postings and track each one with each candidate is very helpful. Also, being able to search candidate resumes is a proactive way for us to reach out to candidates to attempt to find the right fit. Cons Both the resume search feature and the resume maker are limited. Being able to better put in certifications, specific skills, proving those skills (with testing), and better ability to search the individual resumes for those features would be a more useful amount of features. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Customer Support Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good resource for recruiting need" January 5, 2020 5.0 My experience with Monster has been a positive one. I am no longer in a role that requires its use, but I have no complaints and do recommend. Pros I find the best part of Monster to be the quick and easy access to so many resumes. While the candidates may not have always been a direct fit, more often than not, I am able to get some guidance from the people I talk to. Cons I would appreciate increased filtering that would allow me to further narrow down my search results. Over the years, I have seen the indexer to improve. That has been a major plus. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Occupational Therapist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A great product to synthesize all aspects of the hiring and onboarding process" October 9, 2019 5.0 Pros This program is able to reduce the amount of errors with HR leaving out aspects of the onboarding system as well as vastly reducing the time it takes to gather information and adequately pass on the company basics and information required to start a job. In addition, it can collect and gather information the new hire performs in real time by signing off on skills/tasks through the system and maintaining an hourly count of how much time the new hire has spent. Cons For new hires with limited computer skills, this onboarding process can be a little challenging for initiating start-up if begun at home but with a telephone support from HR, it typically takes little time to bring them up to speed.

April 20, 2018 2.0 Pros I dont have any Pros to say about this.. Monster.com is the worst recruitment tool that you could ever possibly want to have. The only applicants that i have received for my many job posts. Cons They dont have an up to date searching database - they dont advertise thier company and so there is no up to date traffic that they attract. They will blind you with promises of extra things to attract candidates that possibly would work but they dont have the traffic and so its a non starter no matter what they offer.

Customer service sometimes slow Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Lead Project Analyst Human Resources Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Monster is from the past, but good "lower level" roles" August 29, 2018 3.0 Monster is a thing of the past! Pros The only time my company has ever considered Monster is for roofing, customer service etc jobs which are not common for us. It would definitely not be something we pay for otherwise as it does not compare to what Indeed or LinkedIn can offer. Might be great for temporary workers, but that's not the industry I recruit for! I think out of anything Monster offers, TalentBin has been the most relevant - we do use that for sourcing, but Monster wouldn't be my first place to go for posting a role! Cons It's really not the place candidates go for professional roles anymore. I can't see me paying for Monster when there are better platforms out there. Monster was the place you'd go for jobs absolutely in the early 2000s, but there have been other game changers since. Review Source Iqra S.

Pros Easy to use for both job posting and searching, Smart search option is very easy to paste job keywords Cons Sometimes, create a problem in search string and do not have experience filter option. Expensive product so your number of views on resume is limited.
