### "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.

### "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.

### "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.

### "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.

Very beginner level solution, lots of room for improvement and scope for growth of better features

Pros

\- quick onboarding - large database of candidates

Cons

### "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.

### "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.

### "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.

### "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.

### "Outdated System"

Pros

### "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.

### "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.

### "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.

### "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"

### "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.

### "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.

### "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.
