"Plenty of Resumes, but the Site’s Search and Campaign Tools Are a Headache"
1/5
What do you like best about Monster?

There are plentiful resumes available for review, and as a recruiter with hiring minimums (insurance) it's good to have near limitless names. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Monster?

The functionality of the website is a pain in the neck. Whether it's the search function, or crafting a particular search, or setting up an email campaign, it's a total headache. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Monster?

I liked that Monster had a strong historic market presence and name familiarity. We believed applicants already knew Monster and would go to them to find their next opportunity. Additionally, I found the initial setup of Monster to be simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Monster?

We didn't find a single individual to hire and compared to other platforms the expense surpassed the outcome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Paola Valdes of Monster
