"“My Experience Using Dice for Monster""
5/5
What do you like best about Monster?

The Monster Dash board is used for Job seekers, Employers, and recruiters. It will used for both IT and Non IT role. Most of the visa holders are used Monster to apply for jobs. If we need only required visa holders like H1b, OPT, EAD we can use Monster, because the power Resume search option is used for recent job seekers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Monster?

The monster is used for Canada candidates and Non IT roles also. It reduce to sourcing the candidate while using the advanced search because the boolean search, recent resume updated, location needs are really used for sourcing the right candidates. we can give the more sourcing inputs in monster like, Location, Visa status, salary, part time, full time, education,Security Clearance, and location preference.

"My Review for Monster"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Monster?

In monster we can do both the IT and NON IT sourcing, it has two types of search one is Classic search and other is Power Search using it in the Power search is more comfortable in that we have two search which is semantic search or boolean search with semantic search you can provide the job titles and the list of skills you needed and you have an option to mark it as required or not required and in the power search you can simply use a boolean from the job description you take and search it easily both the ways i am comfortable to source the resumes and all the resume will be listed in ranking basis like 9.9,9.8 and so on with that we can easily sort out the quality profiles and there is an filter option which has the following years of experience, location, resume updated, education, minimum salary, willing to travel, relocation, citizenship, security clearance with these filters we can filter out the candidates based on the clients requirement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Monster?

Thers is a lot of confidential profiles in the monster where the resume would be a great match for the clients requirement but they won't have the contact number or the right email which is the problem in using the monster and a you do not get a proper response from the Non IT candidates they mostly do not pick the calls or respond to the email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rafael Pagan of Monster

Thank you for your incredibly detailed review! We are glad to hear that both our Classic and Power Search tools are helping you efficiently source for diverse IT and non-IT requirements. It’s great to know that the semantic search and ranking features are making it easier for you to pinpoint high-quality profiles based on specific skills and years of experience.

We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding confidential profiles. We understand it can be frustrating when a great match doesn't have visible contact details. These settings are in place to respect candidate privacy, but we are always looking for ways to improve the outreach process for our recruiters. Regarding the response rates from non-IT candidates, we have shared this insight with our candidate engagement team to explore how we can better encourage active communication across all sectors.

Thank you for your partnership and for being a valued member of the Monster community!

"Disappointing Performance in Candidate Sourcing"
0.5/5
What do you like best about Monster?

I found the initial setup of Monster to be easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Monster?

I didn't have a good experience with Monster. I advertised a role but didn't receive a single application. I also tried the CV search feature, which was even worse. They really need to advertise more to get candidates to use the platform. Additionally, they should provide incentives for recruiters to use Monster, as recruiters bring both jobs and candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Paola Valdes of Monster

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are pleased to hear that your initial setup was seamless, but we sincerely apologize that the sourcing results did not meet your team's expectations. We understand that for an HR department, time-to-fill is a critical metric, and failing to receive applications for an advertised role is a significant friction point.

We value your strategic insights regarding candidate reach and recruiter incentives. Identifying the right talent requires precision, and we are committed to providing a high-quality platform that delivers measurable results. We would welcome the opportunity to have a dedicated specialist review your search parameters and campaign strategy to ensure your roles are reaching the most relevant talent pools.
