It’s useful for sourcing candidates and gives recruiters access to a large pool of resumes. The search and filtering features make it easier to find potential candidates, although sometimes the results need a bit of manual screening. Overall, it’s a helpful recruiting tool, especially when you’re working on multiple openings. Pros The candidate database and search options are probably what I like most. It makes it easy to find relevant profiles using different keywords and filters, and I can usually find candidates pretty quickly. The resume access is also helpful when working on multiple positions at the same time. Cons The search can sometimes feel a little hit-or-miss, especially when using multiple keywords or filters. You may get a lot of profiles that aren’t a strong match, so there’s still some manual screening involved. It would also be nice if the candidate database were a little easier to navigate and more consistently updated. Review Source Chandan C.

September 21, 2026 4.0 \- User-friendly - Cost-effective - AI needs upscale - Needs proper integration - Mobile site needs a makeover as its very basic - Needs parsing function Pros It's a good platform to find candidates, but focused on Gulf markets and business skills. The functional situations are GDPR protected and well-aligned. It gives me a resume scanning and scoring method. Cons Finding tech talent is rare and not engaged. This site needs an effective AI tool so SEO can work well. If you do Boolean, it gives you a lot of irrelevant results.

Pros Not the old "monster" but the new and improved Monster+. It is pay to play model similar to the other "big" job boards that in the same space. Cons While the system is fairly intuitive to use it is no longer one of the big job boards that candidates use when they think about a job. Alternatives considered [ZipRecruiter](https://www.capterra.com/p/130706/ZipRecruiter/) Reasons for choosing Monster+ I use both systems to help broadcast the open jobs across multiple platforms Review Source Benefits and Compliance Manager Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Monster+ Review" June 2, 2026 4.0 Pros The site is easy to navigate and the sub headers/categories with respect to searching were very useful and relevant. Cons When opening up a candidate's profile I was hoping for that to open up on a new tab so I could view multiple candidates, but the system didn't seem to operate that way.

Monster+ is able to automatically rule out candidates who aren't qualified, saving our hiring team a lot of time. Monster+ is like having another member on your hiring team! Pros This product is so easy to use! Very user-friendly and easy to tailor to your specific needs without needing to know how to code or anything like that. Monster+ brings up great candidates for you, saving you lots of time sifting through applicants! Cons The only thing I don't like about Monster+ is the cost. There is a free version of Monster you can use if that is better for your hiring budget! But the perks of using Monster+ are worth at least short-term spending on it. Switched from We wanted to streamline our search efforts. Review Source Tomia R.

I have come across alot of jobs that are very old. Review Source Susanne F. Associate Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Great resume builder but No jobs available " February 23, 2026 2.0 They have no clients that post jobs it was disappointing after I built my resume I was a little hopeful that I would find employment, but that hope faded after I started browsing jobs I could apply for. There was very few...... Pros I love that it's neat and easy to navigate and that they have so many sub categories to pick from in their searching tool and their resume builder is superb Cons They have hardly any jobs posted for my city (which is Portland Oregon) and I know there are allot least 100 jobs available in my city, but monster only shows maybe 10 available in most categories. Review Source Realtor Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Monster+for candidate research support" February 23, 2026 5.0 Overall i had a great experience. Its easy to use, and has great customer support. I would suggest it. Pros Its a good system for recruiting new personnel. It makes applicant tracking simple and resume management easy. Cons In Regards to Monster, I have no bad reviews, overall gets the job done. Maybe could be faster compared to his comparable. Review Source Human Resources Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Monster+ for good job candidates" January 21, 2026 5.0 Overall our company has had a good experience with this software in getting a good number of applicants and able to track them with this software. It helps to schedule and set up interviews as well which is a big time saver. Pros It was easy to set up and use. We have been able to receive good customer support with any questions we had along the way. We are able to get a good number of candidates that fit the roles we needed. Cons We do get a lot of unqualified applicants as well as the good ones. Sometimes those clutter things up and makes it hard to find the ones you want. Review Source Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist Used the software for: 5+ years 4.0 November 5, 2026 AI summary based on a full review Using Monster enables quicker recruitment by connecting to a larger candidate pool, which is beneficial for creating job pipelines.

Senior Human Resources Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Effective Job Portals Make It Easier To Find Qualified Applicants" January 4, 2023 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 Recruitment Practitioner Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "The AI powered ATS " January 2, 2019 4.0 Your hiring needs will become fast if the jobs are posited in Mighty. Pros Mighty has the unique features of free job posting & that will be published to many job boards and other social media platform. As a user, I'm been receiving quality applications for my niche positions as well. The AI will give a rating to the candidates according to the job spec and resume match that is a wow feature to sort candidate easily. Cons Certain jobs are not receiving many applications compared to other jobs posted hope this will be addressed soon. Review Source Response from Monster January 22, 2019 Following Indeed's new policy change, some type of jobs, including jobs from third-parties and recruiting firms, may begin receiving less traffic. There are also a few things to keep in mind: Work-from-home, trucking, some sales (mainly outside) don't perform too well amongst free job postings, which is why we have separate niche boards for similar jobs.

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 On monster, there was more serious. Companies looking for serious candidates that are looking for long term work Review Source Denise M. Recruiter Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Really love it but..." May 17, 2017 4.0 I really love Mighty Recruiter (formerly JobTab) however, we just do not get the best candidates from either the resume search or from our job postings. We recruit specifically within the Logistics & Supply Chain field so that may be what is affecting our results. Overall we really love the Mighty Recruiter team and think that they are making huge strides to give their customers a top quality product. Pros It is very easy to use. You can perform most tasks quickly. There are added features that most resume/candidate sites do not offer. Cons Not producing the best candidates selection. Review Source Human Resource Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Monster needs an upgrade" April 21, 2025 3.0 The overall experience is good, not Excellent or Outstanding, but good. I think that they are very affordable, however I do think it is time for an upgrade, they really need to stay up with the times like their competitors. Pros The best thing about Monster is affordability, they are more affordable then Indeed or Zip Recruiter. Their process of giving out applicants is very different compared to their competitors. Cons The last time I was on monster, it was very hard to navigate and understand how their process works.

THERE IS NOT ENOUGH FILTERS TO GET THE RIGHT RESUMES. THEIR SYSTEM DELIBERATELY WOULD BILL YOU TWICE OR THRICE EVERY SINGLE TIME. Cons I BOUGHT THIS FOR THEIR RESUME DATABASE. THE PREMISE IS THAT YOU BUY A PLAN WITH X NUMBER OF RESUME VIEWS THAT DON'T EXPIRE. BASICALLY, YOU BUY VIEWS AS NEEDED. I STARTED NOTICING THAT THE VIEWS ARE RUNNING OUT FAST, THEN I NOTICED THAT WHEN I CLICK "VIEW FULL RESUME" INSTEAD OF CHARGING MY ACCOUNT FOR 1 VIEW (HENCE JUST 1 RESUME) THEY WILL CHARGE FOR 2-4 VIEWS! i CONTACTED CS AND THEY DENY THEY HAVE THAT BUG. I BOUGHT VIEWS AGAIN AND IT HAPPENED FOR THE SECOND TIME! THIS TIME THEY DENIED AGAIN OF THE FRAUD OF DOUBLE CHARGING. THE THIRD TIME I USED A SCREEN RECORDER TO HAVE A PROOF! SINCE I HAVE PROOF OF THEIR FRAUD NOW, INSTEAD OF FIXING THE BUG, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] EMAILED ME AND SAID NEVER TO USE THEIR PLATFORM EVER AGAIN AND STILL DENIES THIS IS A BUG AND INSIST THAT I AM THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS!! HE REMOVED MY ACCOUNT WITHOUT PERMISSION!!! SO I AM WRITING THIS REVIEW FOR EVERYONE TO KNOW THEY JUST PRETEND IT IS FREE BUT THEY ACTUALLY CHARGED 2-4 TIMES MORE! FRAUDULENT AND UNPROFESSIONAL!!

It has a great pool of good quality resumes. It an expensive tool, but worth the money as well. Pros I really like that monster shows the match percentage on every single profile. It makes the resume review process very easy and saves our time. It also has so many amazing filters which gives us very accurate results. Cons Its very expensive so sometime we have to limit our usage. Sometime it gives you repeated resume results.

Takes away the noise of job boards Pros I like the fact that this is a central location for all things related to finding your candidates. Traditionally this process has been very fragmented for us we had several job boards open in one tab and communicated to candidates through our email account and independently reviewed resumes that came in. It was a mess when we had several positions to fill. MightyRecruiter takes care of all this! I am a MightyRecruiter customer and received an Amazon gift card for completing this review. Cons Due to the fact that mightyRecruiter tries to filter out the noise it looked like we had a lot fewer resumes come in. Sometimes you want to cast the net a little wider if you do not have a well-defined position you are looking to fill. Otherwise great for our purpose I am a MightyRecruiter customer and received an Amazon gift card for completing this review. Review Source AP Ankit P. Senior Technical Recruiter Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Its One of the Best for Indian Staffing" July 12, 2022 5.0 Pros We have so many filter option here to get the best quality resume. We have option to find within years of experience, what skills we required what not and a lot of other things as well. Cons You must need to add one option to find beginner resume who just enter in the job market. Switched from [CareerBuilder](https://www.capterra.com/p/148657/Talentstream-Recruit/) I got quality resume here, I guess candidates prefer this portal apart from other while seeking opportunities. Review Source Christy H. Owner Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "A bit clunky but serves it's purpose" May 17, 2017 4.0 I switched to MightyRecruiter when I wanted to upgrade from ZipRecruiter. I was excited at the possibility of not having to post roles to Indeed, Zip, and other job boards all on my own and having a system that did it all for me. However, I have found that I do not get as many applicants through Mighty as I did when I posted them all on my own. The interface of Mighty is a bit clunky. The way you have to go through new applicants is not efficient, and I don't like that the status doesn't automatically update (i.e. if I email a candidate, it doesn't automatically classify the candidate as "Contacted"). However, I do like its invite to apply feature and that is allegedly has millions of resumes to look through. I probably need to use that more to get the value of $280/month out of it. Pros Resume database Cons Interface of viewing candidates Review Source Response from Monster November 9, 2016 Thanks for your review, Christy! You should definitely try searching the Resume Database of 18+ million resumes - other customers have found this to be a great source of quality candidates.

Pros There was a lot of traffic in the earlier days that led to a lot of activity. Cons The software seemed to lose relevancy and thus there were less applicants.

It makes searching for certain qualifications needed a breeze. Cons Sometimes there are resumes and candidates that are EXTREMELY underqualified or in a different field that pop up. Not sure if an algorithm or something was not working right. Switched from [ZipRecruiter](https://www.capterra.com/p/130706/ZipRecruiter/) The switch was made from ziprecruiter to Monster+ about 14 months ago.
