Survey analyst Consumer Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A career building software " December 3, 2019 5.0 Im impressed with the organization of this software. I never lose track of anything. I know what is being applied for and when. I don't have to ask questions because they always have that covered. Pros I like it works with personal strengths to find what career suits everyone. Instead of just throwing someone into a position they find positions based on the persons experience. Cons I wish the search engine could have more options for job positions. I will admit they could email possibly more often. Review Source JM Jesse M. Managing Partner Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "We were very unhappy with Talent Bin and when we tried to find out how to get out of our 12 month agreement all of a sudden their staff stopped returning our calls. They are only nice when you are talking about using their service or adding on more users." January 16, 2019 1.0 Pros We did not find any major pros outside of the email campaigns you could set up. The search was okay Cons You end up getting access to old information from 2-3 years ago which becomes frustrating if you are trying to find candidates that are not on LinkedIn. We found we were wasting our time using TalentBin because the same candidates were on LinkedIN recruiter for the most part. Overall, we were not satisfied with their service for the price. Review Source GD Gary D. Service Technician Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Indispensable Software" November 27, 2019 4.0 Pros Ease of use. Practicality. Once up and running it saves an enormous amount of time. Cons Takes a long time to setup. Not very user friendly the first time around. Review Source RZ Raquel Z. Writer and Editor E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Outpaced by other platforms" April 2, 2021 4.0 Overall, a neutral experience. There wasn't anything I significantly disliked, but I felt I found more opportunities on other platforms. Pros I used this while applying for jobs. It was intuitive to use. Cons I felt many of the positions I was searching for I was able to find on other platforms such as Indeed but not on Monster. I also did not enjoy the auto application and resume options. Review Source JS Jim S. Executive Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Monster TMS - excellent software" November 29, 2019 4.0 An excellent talent management system, customer service is particularly good. Pros Monster TMS provides the insight and measurement with ease and simplicity - that other systems often lack Cons sometimes theres too much to choose from ! Review Source CC Cristopher C. HR Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Monster - Review" November 16, 2021 3.0 Pros It is very easy to set up profile and job postings. Cons The amount of candidates are almost none-existent. Spent a little bit over 3 months with only two resumes received. Review Source NL Nathan L. Recruiter Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Recruiter at Sabre. Candidate Searches. Out-reach emails. " November 10, 2015 2.5 Pros Additional place to find candidate other than LinkedIn Cons Floods my email with updates on how many searches I preform and tasks that I need to complete. I think the automated outreach emails are a good, but think you lose a personal touch with the candidates. I had a candidate who actually called me to tell me that he responded to my message, but he is still receiving messages to see if he was interested and asked to be removed from my list. I have had candidate responded after receiving multiple message only to say that they are not interested. Review Source CB Candice B. Lead Technical Recruiter Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great concept, needs to work on efficiency and streamlining. " November 17, 2015 1.0 Pros Layout is decent and concept is good.Follow up is nice when you first use it. Though having one person that trains you on it, and one person that supports the day to day is a little odd. Cons Constant follow up from Account Managers for TalentBin, they are there to "help" but really have no idea about the market or the technology that we are trying to recruit for. I also heavily dislike the email feature in the tool as its very time consuming and not very user friendly. Just a lot of steps in general to get to a candidate. Review Source Krish M. Ambassador Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Decent solution for sourcing candidates" April 28, 2019 3.0 Very beginner level solution, lots of room for improvement and scope for growth of better features Pros \- quick onboarding - large database of candidates Cons \- very cluttered design - searching isn't very easy - many candidates have important fields that are empty Review Source JJ Jim J. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Monster TMS Review" February 18, 2019 3.0 Pros I use Monster to post new jobs and search for new employees. The power search tool has been a big help in narrowing down our searches. Cons There is a learning curve in understanding how to use the search tool. I often would get candidates that were not a good match. Review Source JW Jessica W. Client Support Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Not the right fit for our business" June 7, 2018 4.0 This did not have any significant benefit over similar services, but we did find some strong candidates. Pros I found this service easy to use and manage candidates. It was a more cost effective option than some of the other services we had tried. Cons Overall, this was not the best fit for our business. We found just as much success using a lower cost service, and since we had a very limited budget, that was a deal breaker. They do not have any free listing option. Review Source PW Paul W. Doctor Medical Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Monster " March 20, 2020 5.0 7/10- solid site but worse than indeed. Pros Ease of use. Array of employers. How widely known it is. Cons Employers on site aren’t as impressive or as diverse as indeed. Review Source DW Dawn W. Account Executive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "You have to just through hoops to get in there and search resumes which is irritating." July 3, 2018 3.0 This site used to be the biggest database for resumes but since they started upping the payment to use it the database sucks now. Pros I like that you have access to the database for resumes and you can post jobs really easily once you sign up. Cons I don't like the fact that you have to sign up and pay before you can try out the site. I don't like that they charge you for every single aspect on the site. Review Source AB Anita B. CHRO Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Outdated System" April 29, 2019 1.0 Pros Monster is easy to use and has very clean appearance. Cons Monster is a bit on the antiquated side and does not bring in as many applicants as their competitors. Review Source GN G. N. Executive Assistant Investment Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Monster is a good way to find new applicants. " August 16, 2018 3.0 Pros Monster is very straight forward in the user friendly catagory. It is a good way to find seasoned applicants in that it is one of the older software programs for job searching. Cons With all of the newer job search engines you don't really think to go to monster first. It has been a good way to compare and contrast applicants from other sites. Review Source SC Sam C. HR Director Management Consulting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great in concept, but needs better data quality" January 5, 2016 3.5 Pros Great support team. They can help you find resumes if needed and they do monitor your usage to practically reach out with support interventions. Cons Data quality is off on some social feed based skills. most of the the time, highly rated skills on the site profiles are not necessarily true when I check the full social profile on LinkedIn. Review Source GD Giuliano D. Used the software for: ### "Lot of room for improvement" December 19, 2016 2.0 We utilize Monster TMS every day to post jobs, prescreen resumes and track selection outcomes. The software is not easy to use and if you need some support it is always a struggle. I provide 1 star in Easy to use and 1 in Customer support . 2 stars for features and functionality, I would like to see some more relevant improvements (like the possibility to send massive email (more than 100+) with just a click. We also found the job posting interface very confusing and complicated. Overall we really wish they'll be able to become much more customer oriented as the product itself has good potential. Review Source ZK Zlata K. Recruiter Banking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Current technical recruiter using TalentBin for 7 month" November 12, 2015 3.5 Pros I like the ability to search people from open web. We use it for search for our IT Roles and it helps sometimes. I like that I have real e-mails. Cons not reliable search, it says in header that he is a "developer" but then i open linkedin and he is a "painter" Review Source DG Dennis G. CSR advocate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "It is a job website that you can use to look for jobs or apply for such jobs online." June 18, 2018 2.0 I do not see a need for this website at all. The jobs are mostly fake and only there to make a company look good. I would not use this site to look for jobs online. Pros The website is laid out in a simple manner and easy to read. You change your options to see jobs any specific city, area code, or industry. Cons The site is full of ghost jobs that do not exist or have already been filled by another applicant. I have see jobs that I applied for only to be told that they are not open anymore. Then the next day, the same position appears on the site. Review Source EP Ellen P. Recruiter Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "TalentBin for recruiters" November 16, 2015 3.5 Pros I think this product is innovative, different and new Cons Database needs improvements, since there are a lot of random people. No contact information Review Source JG Jamella G. Entrepreneur Luxury Goods & Jewelry Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Monster TMS Review" February 7, 2020 5.0 My overall experience with monster was okay. I wouldn't say good or great. it's not that I hate the app I'm not trying to be mean but the app just isnt for me. Pros there isn't anything I really liked about monster I just tried it because it was there. Cons the job the monster didn't really fit in my field of work. Review Source KM Krista M. Operations Manager Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "This was not a wise financial decision for our company" June 17, 2017 1.0 Pros I found it to be somewhat easy to complete a resume search as part of the package my company selected. Cons The price is far too expensive and we were unable to receive quality candidates when performing resume searches. In fact, we did not receive a single applicant from a resume search that was interested in pursuing a job change. It does not appear as though resumes are kept updated to those individuals actively seeking employment. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Recruiter Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Use Monster for Attracting Talent" July 29, 2019 4.0 Pros Monster is a great place to find candidate resumes! Cons I have nothing negative to say about Monster. Review Source ZG Zach G. Recruiter Human Resources Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My Review " January 21, 2019 5.0 Pros Monster is a great tool for both applying to jobs and sourcing candidates. Cons Sometimes the filtering while sourcing filters out candidates that would be a fit Review Source SB Sally B. Practice Administrator Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to use" November 2, 2018 5.0 Pros Finding candidates is easy - and easy to communicate with them as well. Cons I would like to see a personality trait with them - like using a DISC profile so that you can make sure they fit into your business needs and balance your company employees.
