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 ap... See more

Terrible job posting. Getting irrelevant resumes. No proper resume came through and got marketing calls from monster that they had better paid programs then what you have signed up for. Highly not rec... See more

Can't link candidates to an ATS so that everything can be tracked in one place. Quality of candidates are not as strong as other sources. Have not hired anyone from Monster -- everyone has been from o... See more

We did not get a *single* hit on Monster. Not one! What a waste of money. Zip Recruiter is the way to go! We've gotten 25 hits in 3 weeks and have filled 3 open positions with people who are complet... See more

Great

Better Job Portal compared to few others. Easy to use search criteria.

The latest monster for employers…

The latest monster for employers release is awful, the search functionality is terrible, most the candidates are old, you cannot sort by age or modify date any more. The boolean search tab doesn't seem to utilize all of the search operators.

The display and interface in clunky, I don't care for the share screen or partial screen when working through candidates.

I am a professional recruiter, I don't need you to dumb it down for me. Give me unrestricted access to the resume database with the ability to utilize real Boolean logic and the ability to parse candidates as I see fit rather that what you think I want. The classic search was so much better that the last two upgrades. The previous attempt was OK but this new release is so bad I have given up on using your tool.

Thank you for the opportunity to review your product.

Monster is loaded with outdated resumes - to weed through all of the old takes way too much time. I think going forward, we will not renew with Monster and start using Indeed or Zip Recruiter.

I can not reset my password

I can not reset my password, it is infuriating. It always tells me it is sending me an email to reset it and never does. Any help to aid me in this would be much appreciated. It's not very useful for me if I can't get in.

Need improvement

Hi Monster Team, We search on monster for our IT requirements and we get bunches of candidates, but with inappropriate information like a lot of resumes without contact information and no response while sending email to them.

I don't get the resumes that I am looking for using keywords on a regular basis. I really don't like the format or the search page. I unfortunately have never gotten a hire from Monster. I wish that when posting a position I had more industry options or categories to choices.
