Not a user friendly job board!

Reviewed on 2018/09/13

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 find that Monster is easy to use and for searching for Candidates it brings the highest quality of Candidates across various domains. Their search capabilities are very powerful.

Cons

I wish when searching for a Candidate it did a better job of vetting the information the Candidate provided, for example their current location and salary requirements.

Gives A fair amount of resumes

Reviewed on 2018/04/03

Pros

You get a great amount of resumes, the membership is affordable and very easy to search for resumes. The booleon searches are easier to utilize

Cons

The cons for me is the applicants seem to be more higher end applicants. With my particular work fields in manufacturing these applicants are just too overly qualified for my positions.

A hard tool to use

Reviewed on 2018/09/01

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.

Overall, Monster is a great tool especially for recruiters who needs a lot of candidates to source. Monster has a lot of pool of candidates that you can easily contact and get hired.

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.

A great product to synthesize all aspects of the hiring and onboarding process

Reviewed on 2019/10/09

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.

Love Monster since its inception in early 2000, had made a career of finding the right talent on Monster.

Pros

Monster is a fantastic search website and a pioneer in the job-searching and recruiting services. It has a very easy to use interface, it's very user friendly and delivers great results. A very solid algorithm on parsing and search.

Cons

Well. I wish there were more candidates who would post their resumes on Monster. I feel like these days everyone is on Linkedin and they are using the feature of "open to opportunities" as opposed to posting their resumes on a search website.

Monster TMS

Reviewed on 2019/02/25

- Recruiters can expand their options and area to ultimate talent from an unexpected source.
- They have four different modules so that hiring company will have all the information regarding process.
- It's very flexible to use and the company can focus more on internal process with the help of this software because it minimized so much work load of recruiters.
- It works on both mobile as well as web.
- They also offer a free trial of the software.
- They will notify to via email and massage for every new update.

Cons

- It is not affordable for small companies.
- If the user doesn’t know how to utilize all the features of TMS perfectly. Then it will increase more work for a staffing company.

Overall I like the Monster platform a lot and will continue to use it when I am seeking a job.

Pros

-Monster seems to do a better job than most sites of filtering out recruiters that post generic ads without having actual positions available
-The advertisements (seriously, the ads make this platform pretty well known to employers and job seekers)
-The interface is pretty easy to navigate
-Mobile app is better than most recruiting platforms

Cons

-Similar to Indeed, a lot of employers simply link you to their internal recruiting platform which can be tedious to re-enter all of your information into again, rather than one-click apply like Zip offers
-I believe Monster may sell your profile/data to recruiters so that they can more readily access you even when you're not seeking a job

Overall I have always liked Monster. We are at a point now I think that other products in the market are doing a better job. I know it was acquired a few years ago and since then I felt it has not been as strong a product as it was in the past.

Pros

Monster is great for those more junior roles, sales roles are also good. We found it solid for Junior and Technician level people. Anything above that, or more niche you would have to look elsewhere understandably.

Cons

They recently closed there Dublin office, so we have noted the level of support drop. We also noted the level of investment drop in Ireland. This is shown in our application numbers as they are down job for job since last year.
