    I don't even know why I have even signed up with CareerBuilder. This site does nothing for you when seeking jobs. It's all scam jobs. Nobody looks at your resume, and nobody even uses your phone number to contact you for open positions. I get job leads of what I am looking for in my email, all to know it doesn't come up for what they are advertising for. This is a horribly sad place of a website to come to to look for work. This website should be shut down. I can't even get my Information off this website if I wanted to.

    THIS as a basis for a NegativeNegative review. I've gotten nothing worthwhile on Career Builder. Mostly all job offers from Head hunters and Job placement companies. Also from companies that are located outside of my preferred radius from where I live. Numerous Scam jobs for logistics fraud companies. As well as career titles that have absolutely nothing to do with my skills and abilities. Now I'm getting emails and Texts from scammers. And VMs that won't stop. I tried to make changes. Nothing available. I even tried to make my Profile hidden… It doesn’t exist. So now I was forced to Block all emails as scams and frauds. Needs to be Zero. There is no assistance for Employment seekers. The one tab directs any job seeker to a list of possible solutions. Even after asking AI—the information there is of absolutely no help.

      Career Builder is a total waste of time. Not only is it a waste of time preparing an account, but afterwards it is a waste of more time dealing with spam and emails from CareerBuilder each day promoting the same job. The emails begin, "A company is looking for candidates just like you". I had applied for the job, yet I continued to receive the identical email each day. They also asked if I would like to auto apply for similar jobs by selected a tab. I thought sure and selected the tab. Then I received emails informing me that I had made errors. I sure did make an error, the error has been placing my information on the Career Builder website.

      I would also like to state that the other job sites are not much better. It seems they are aligned with internet search engines. When you input your criteria for search engines or job boards, you never receive what your criteria is based on, but rather you receive results from the company paying the most and normally have nothing in common with your original input criteria.

      CareerBuilder has been a huge disappointment. Ever since uploading my resume, I’ve been flooded with scam calls and spam emails from sketchy “recruiters” claiming they found me through their site. It feels like my personal info was sold off without my consent. I’ve reached out multiple times asking them to stop sharing my data, but they’ve done nothing to help. Their lack of concern for user privacy is incredibly frustrating. Avoid if you care about your personal information.

      Once you submit your resume on this site, you will get spam calls, emails and texts every single day from third world countries even after you delete all of your personal information, resume and account off of the site. I signed a form stating they had to delete all of my information and closed the account weeks ago and the calls don't stop. I asked someone today where they received my info and they stated CareerBuilder. One person said she deleted her account over a year ago and still continues to get calls, emails and texts.

      I am getting spammed daily in my email and through text messages. I unsubscribed and "deleted" my account but it is too late. They already sold my contact info. Don't use this site. Period. Whoever runs this company should take a long hard look in the mirror.

      It is sad that this job board has lost its way by letting so many scammers post and contact job seekers. People spend hours and days of their lives looking for reputable position leads. I haven't found one here in the past two months, but I have received over 50 emails from scammers. So sad CB, get your act together.

      I used them to recruit with. I signed up for a 3 month contract. My secretary emailed them & told them we didn't want to renew. They continued to bill us & now says we owe over 2500 & says because we didn't email a certain email address 90 days before we wanted to cancel, our contract auto renewed. Verbally, we were told by the salesperson that it was no problem to do a 3 month contract. Were we suppose to cancel the 1st day to give 90 day notice. Now no one will call us back & unable to speak with anyone concerning this. We haven't logged into it after 90days & they can see that. They are very misleading with billing & now no communication. Their database is very outdated also. For these reasons, they will never get any of my business again.

      Career Builder is a horrible site to look for employment, allow me to explain. The option they have to apply for multiple jobs is a nice option, however you receive feedback from what you applied for but they are ALL and I wish I could emphasized more by saying ALL the call backs / emails offering employment are scammers. This site need to filter their employers out especially the ones that don't have a reputable company.

      I am no longer looking for a job so I hit the "Unsubscribe" link about a dozen days in a row in the job emails they send out daily but their emails kept coming. Contacted customer support, they reported back they "successfully" unsubscribed me. Said it might take up to 72 hours. It has now been 8 days (192 hours) and still the emails keep coming. Contacted customer support again but they have yet to even acknowledge my second email. The daily job emails even say I am still subscribed. I can only assume they are grossly incompetent or intentionally keeping me on their email list hoping for business. Hell would freeze over before I would ever use this company.
