Cons

Nothing feels bad, every thing is good in monster+, It is good for both IT and Non IT

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

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

nothing, i believe and what I hear from these types of job search tools are used for protocol

Cons

Not once have I ever received a legitimate response from Monster

The never-ending list of potential job replacement candidates. 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.

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.

Alternatives Considered

Pros

Monster allows me to apply for several positions within a few minutes because my resume is stored.

Cons

I have no complaints about Monster. My employer found my resume on Monster and I have been gainfully employes for over 7 years.

Pros

I like that it's got an easy to navigate set of filters for finding jobs just right for me. I also like that it's easy to upload my resume for easily sharing it with potential employers.

Cons

There really isn't anything I don't like about it. It has a clean easy to use interface and it's easy to filter.

Pros

Monster has been the only job board that i have been using so far in my career history. The best of their feature is Boolean search, as it accepts all of the boolean commands including "" , AND, OR, () AND NOT, which gives you the finest search than any other available job boards on the market, cheaper rates and unlimited resume views is also an unique feature of this product as many job boards comes with limited resume clicks or views. Monster job postings is also an great feature by the team and it has always helped me to cater niche requirements and has helped me generating higher revenues for me and my organization. Easy access, best interface, clear tabs and check boxes, radius search is one of the super feature of this product which lets you find the talent within the expected region or location.
We often get updates and up gradation calls and notifications regarding the product by the monster team and they are very keen to get us trained by their expertise with the video demonstration and question and answers session.

Cons

Sometimes if we click on the profile which is not available on the portal, it takes you out of the search window rater than stopping you then and there by notifying regarding the profile unavailability.

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.

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.

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.

Pros

- user friendly
- easy to navigate
- you can costumize your search by filtering your search such as location, years of experience, must have skills, etc.
- you can be notified through email for new or updated resume

Cons

-the product is so expensive so your number of views on resume is limited
- when downloading the resume that has pdf and word file, the word file that you downloaded is in picture form so I can't copy some details

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.

Pros

Ability to find resumes and post jobs are very easy to use. Being able to write specifics and how fast results turn up is great!

Cons

I think there is a decline of users and don't get a lot of results from using this software compared to its competitors.

Pros

I am hoping this is for the software of Monster where jobs are posted. If it is I love Monster for looking for jobs. The software is very easy to manipulate if you are looking for a specific job title or company. It is very up to date. When finding a position, the software allows you to access the position by sending your resume to the respective company, which I love. It also allows you to create a cover letter for the position.

Cons

At this time I have no complaints for this software.

Pros

I love the smart search option that allows you to paste a job posting in and then find candidates based on the keywords. This completely eliminates the need for a bullion search.

Cons

Monster is not any type of career or industry specific. This means that when a job is posted, you may get a wide mix of candidates. This doesn't affect search results though.

Pros

The candidate pool that monster provides, makes it easy to find viable candidates for different positions.

Cons

There is no such thing that I dislike about Monster

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.

Pros

Monster is an easy to use application that offers an array of resumes for various industries. It is really helpful most especially if you're recruiting for a high paying position.

Cons

There are times that I end up finding old resumes indicating that they were just recently updated.

Pros

Monster is a very popular tool and for good reason, he has powerful search capabilities and gives you access to a large pool of Candidates.

Cons

For myself who does recruiting within the IT industry, I wish I could filter by visa better because it would save me a lot of time.

Pros

Cons

Nothing much to distinguish from other job sites.

Pros

The UI is great compared to other job board sites. It is very intuitive and easy to navigate.

Cons

I love the user interface! It makes the job search a lot friendlier and less stressful.

Pros

It still has some function after all of these years

Resumes are out of date. When seeking a resume we never find that the candidate is actually in the market. Our industry STEM is not active on this platform.

Cons

I cant really think of any. Although the user interface can be improve.

Pros

Companies can easily use this amazing platform to recruit employers.

The fact that it had every spam job posted as well

Pros

Great way to find candidates for needs of the business

Cons

The candidates don't always agree to the offers.

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.

Pros

One of the best features of the application is that it has and extracts candidates from many other platforms, creating an apliam candidate pool that facilitates access to contact information and allows very good headhunting processes.

Cons

It has a limit of spots to publish vacancies, so it limits the reach to active candidates to recruit and in general, all the candidates it returns are passive candidates.

Pros

Keeps candidates organized, in different categories, based upon skill level.

Cons

Need to manually delete old candidates from system

Pros

Like most using monster. And this very useful for recruitment

Cons

There is no cons. Because of it's interfere

Pros

We get the right results whether you looking for executive assistant or a software architect. You can find anything there.

Cons

The licence are starting to get a bit expensive

Pros

It allows you to search and contact active candidates. Its filters are great and helpful to narrow down the search and screening the candidate as per the requirements. It also allows job posting to close open positions. It supports keyword and advanced searches.

Cons

Its plans are costly and sometimes we get irrelevant profiles. There is a need for AI so that we can get the best-suited profiles. Its candidate database is limited and has lots of fake profiles.

Pros

The job posting is easy and efficient on this platform. It provides good screening questions and alerts when candidates submit their profiles. It has many good features to source quality resumes and track candidates over the platform.

Cons

It was one of the best recruiting platforms but not anymore. It does not have a good candidate database. Most of the resumes are outdated and with fake details.

Pros

Its very easy to use, its more cost effective.

Cons

It has only less filters so that we are receiving more resume. Its difficult to filter manually.

Pros

Good platform for your job search and recruiting needs. Very user friendly.

Cons

I dont see any cons at this point of time.

Pros

1. Monster was the leading platform in sourcing. It established areas from commercial, industrial, engineering and other professions you can think of.

2. Functions are quite simple, enter tha title wish that something shows up with your sourcing

Cons

Though they are one of the leading platform in sourcing professionals, I can not say they are the most reliable tool to use.

1. The platform is so simple that it can not give you accurate resulta of what you are looking from

2. They deviate from using booleian strings giving you strict results in terms of what you are looking for

3. Alerts are far different from what you have sourced, and location goes back on its default giving you result of upp to 200-300 miles away

4. Can't say it can return what you have invested. They have one if the expensive platform that may go down the if you don't know how to use the software.

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.

Pros

When it comes recruitment most of the Staffing Agency depends on Monster, Why you ask? It is because its the most reliable, trusted and easy to use software in Staffing Industry.
Light on pocket for Firms implementing Recruitment tools.

Cons

Though being a reliable software it lacks Database and most of the information in outdated.

Pros

What I like the most about Monster is it is very user friendly, the filters are simple and very easy to use. You can easily source for candidates needed on the requisition that you're working for.

Cons

What I don't like about Monster is whenever I wanted to open up the candidate's profile to review it you can't view it on the new tab which makes it easier to review multiple candidates without having to wait for the page to load again after you viewed one candidate.

Pros

It is fairly easy to use for both job postings and sourcing. They have a very large candidate pool, so Monster same in handy when working on high volume entry level roles like customer service or collections agents.

Cons

If your working on higher caliber professional services positions you won't find many candidates on Monster. They also don't do a great job 9d matching opportunities to candidates as they are applying, so as a recruiter you have to filter through lots of applicants with irrelevant experience to find one or two who might have the required skills.

Pros

What I like about Monster is that this job board gives you a score of how match each candidates that showed up whenever you do a search. Most of the time, profile thay will appear match your search. You can do advance search here, they've got lot of filters. Plus there are recommendations of resumes whenever you do a posting.

Cons

You cannot open each candidate on another tab. You cannot do multi tasking unlike other job boards in the market. Once you open one profile, you need to close it for you to open another profile. Definitely not the best job board for IT Requisitions. Not that user friendly!

Pros

I mainly use Monster to post jobs and search for candidates. So far, what I liked the most is the specialized searches, where I can just search for job titles, certain keywords, filter by industry, location, etc.

Cons

Low traction of candidates applying and sometimes, Monster suggests candidates that are on the total opposite end of a spectrum.

Pros

I am using it daily for finding the right talent for right job.
I am using it for more than one years.
This is easy and there are various options for finding.

Cons

This is best in his field.
There are no cons in it.

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.

Pros

The result to land a new job, with very helpful detail of positions and ease to load and update my resumé.

Cons

All is easy to use, other job seeker apps are complicated and frustrating once an employer is interrsted in you.
