CareerBuilder Reviews

Their customer service is practically non-existent. I have been trying to have my email removed from their distribution lists, but still receive monthly newsletters despite deleting my account from their website. Their public "support" number only directs Jobseekers (AKA non-paying users) to email their support. However, their email support has been extremely unhelpful. They recommended I click the "unsubscribe" button on the newsletters, which I've already done - on every newsletter I receive. They recommended I wait a couple of weeks for my "unsubscribe" request to be processed. I waited months, still receiving emails the entire time. They assured me that my email was manually removed - yet I continued to receive more spam mail. I emailed them again informing them of this, received an automated confirmation response, and have not heard back in for almost a month now. This company does NOT respect data removal requests.

Warning warning. Careerbuilder.Com is a company that harass, stalks and has non english speakers from venus that speak mumbo jumbo. I've repeatedly requested to be removed from all email and phone call lists to no avail. This has been going on for months several times daily. They are scammers and fraudsters.

I’m getting so many spam emails from CareerBuilder. The website is refusing to delete my account for some unknown reason. I have requested twice for the deletion of the account but they won’t help me get rid of it.

A ton of scammers come through on this site. CB themselves will email you stating that the position they sent you at that moment is a great fit for you. You go to review the position, it states requirements: bachelor's degree, etc. My resume is on CB, but I'm going to shut mine off.

I made the mistake of creating an account through CareerBuilder and ever since, it's been a steady stream of spam via both email and text. One of my contacts is somehow also now getting text messages using my name as a greeting. No matter how many times I attempt to report each text and email as junk or attempt to unsubscribe, they just keep coming.

I signed up on CareerBuilder.com a couple of days ago to see if I would get a different perspective from **. What a nightmare! All I have gained since signing up is text after text of scam artists saying they are with X Company and want to meet through Teams and will pay me $50 per hour with great benefits, retirement, etc. All I have to do is wait for them to send me a check to purchase office equipment. Well, we all know what happens after that - don't do it if it happens to you!! I want to warn others that this happened.

Speaking from experience, postings offering up to $35/ hour for a remote administrative job should be suspect. In addition, if you are interviewed without video and you're told you passed and are not hired, BEWARE, it is a scam! These folks are likely from countries in which English is not the native language, it's apparent they're using a script, if you ask a question, it can take up to 5 mins to receive a reply, because they're trying to find the best-scripted response. There appears to be no vetting of the postings. CareerBuilder used to be reliable, not what it used to be. Closing my account.

CareerBuilder.com has not provided any ROI. When we requested to cancel our subscription, they stated that we can not cancel for a full year, even though the contract states a 90-day written notice to cancel. Terrible product, revolving door of account reps. Complete waste of money.

CareerBuilder is not a good site. I have had so many scammers responding to my resume. I did in fact get scammed last week. They sent me a contract and w-2 form and direct deposit paperwork to fill out. I fell for the scam and gave them all my information. They sent me a check for 2450.00 to deposit in my bank which has not cleared. Now they have all my personal information. If it seemed to good to be true, it is!! I was excited and eager to have a remote job, since that's what I been looking for. I have been fooled, don't be fooled like me.

I had a zoom meeting with a salesman from CareerBuilder. During the sales pitch he showed me all the candidates for hire in my area, there were over 300 candidates looking for positions on my industry. Once I signed up and started utilizing their platform I was finding that there was less than 3 people looking for jobs in my industry and there were not even qualified individuals.

Career Builders is full of scammers. Be very careful. I was caught in a scam for a Marketing Manager at BandD chemical in. **. After a few emails and a questionnaire type interview, they want you to deposit a check for 4,900 on your bank mobile app. for 'home office' equipment. Fortunately the check didn't clear, but they ask you for a copy of your drivers license. Anyhow, I filed a report to the police, FTC, Dps, and credit companies. Good luck with this site.

I have been on Career Builders for three days now and I'm still being blocked. I would like to apply for some of the jobs. But can't get on the site. I look forward to getting this solve, so I can found a job within the next month

Lots of learning opportunities, majorly works on the latest technology. Work and team environment is also good. Flexibility and power to take decision & initiative. Work life balance and culture. Good work life balance.

I loved the ability to search candidates and source to reach out to potential applicants. It always gives me what I'm looking for and I'm really amaze how this software exceed my expectations. A really useful software and it's surely a great investment.

I signed up for a job for a personal assistant. They wanted information from me after signing a document that looked and had all the info for a legit company. I called and they said it was a fake listing.

CB is just terrible. It used to be much more on point back in the day. Most job listing don't seem real. You click to apply and are sent to apply on a different website, only for the website to be another place to register again for something else, not an actual job. Or the job just screams scammy. The most frustrating part for me is how the resume is uploaded. One job description is added to 3 lines once it is integrated in the CB site itself. I go in to try and fix it, I am all done making time consuming corrections to all my workplace descriptions and lo and behold the save button is grayed out so I can't click it to save. Such a waste of time and it saves and reverts back to the way it was and looking crazy. So annoyed. I am removing my profile completely. I'll stick to Indeed or Zip Recruiter, it's better on that side of town.

For the past 2 months almost on a daily basis I have been receiving email from CareerBuilder stating the jobs that I applied for on THEIR SITE is fake. Imagine applying for a job on a site you thought was trustworthy and later find out the job was fake and now your personal information is out there. Several times this has happened. Beware of CareerBuilder each time you apply for a job on this site you are at risk. They do not protect the candidate who use the site.

Put my resume on CareerBuilder and Monster, most of the time the search would take me to another site where it seemed nothing was legit. Ever since then I have received no less than 10 spam calls a day, so it is obvious my info was sold. I have to unsubscribe to all of the sites but feel they could and should do better to protect their database.

They steall your info and you have to jump through hoops to try and recover it. I hope I don't get it as bad as I've read here but so far I got the usual treatment from a company that tries to pass off responsibility after stealing your info. Do not use Careerbuilder.com.. They make you try and email all these company's here are just a few of the scammers I found that I will have no time to retrace my info you've been warned.

I once thought Career Builder was a reputable site for job seekers but quickly found it is a breeding site for scammers. I have applied to well over 100 jobs on this platform and have had nothing but scammers bombard me with text messages, emails, etc. Not 1 legit job or business has contacted me from this site. I even sent a email to Career Builder with my concerns. I am convinced they do not verify employers or businesses who use their site. You will waste time, energy, and your sanity trying to find work through this platform. It is unfortunate that companies such as these aren't doing their due diligence in researching and providing job seekers with legit options.

Recently got laid off and thought I was doing the right thing by setting up an account with Career Builder. No sooner did I give them my contact details did the nightmare begin. I get roughly a dozen phone calls a day from Indians looking to recruit me for jobs I have no interest in. My email account has been turned upside down with the numerous amounts of emails received from them. In addition they have routinely violated my peace by repeatedly texting me throughout the day for similar jobs. I have asked them to stop and blocked them. They simply change emails or persons within the same company and the bombarding starts again.

I paid $443 to have a job posting done for one month. Many features with their system simply do not work. I attempted to "brand" my employment listing for several hours and could not make a relatively simple process work. The applicants which are supposed to be filtered had no relevant experience at all. I agreed to a 1-month deal that was month to month. I contacted them 1 week prior to the end of the month as an added security measure to stop any future charges being made, and yet they still charged my cc. I cannot reach them on the phone. When I look at my account the invoices are totally incorrect. It is as if they have no I.T. people working to debug their platform as it descends into ruin. So in the meantime they will take whatever money they can from the public and do not give a damn about the customer experience. This is an honest review of what my experience has been.

I have received nothing but scam job offers from this website. It is disgusting what people will do to get your personal information. If you're looking for a legitimate job, I would not use Career Builder. Nothing but **.

Once I signed up to Career Builder, I haven’t received non stop solicited calls. It won’t stop. Everyone calling has an ** accent, you can barely understand what they saying. These jobs are not legitimate and it’s all a scam. This is terrible.

Terrible experience. As soon as I signed up, literally hundreds of email for unrelated jobs all from people who had Indian names. Literally hundreds of emails, phone calls (multiples in a row from the same number) and texts. Bots. Do do it unless you like to be harassed for no reason. Complete and total garbage site.

I have used CareerBuilder for job search purposes and for researching companies for years. I recently updated my resume and information just to keep things current. Within a few hours I began to be bombarded with emails, texts, and calls from scammers offering clearly fraudulent and fantastical "opportunities", that were neither listed within my sought fields nor remotely targeted at my experiences or skills.

As soon as I signed up, I started receiving countless emails for what appears to be fake or totally unrelated jobs. Like LegalShield, Ughh! Even after I deleted my account the garbage emails keep coming in. I would never recommend signing up or submitting your resume-especially with your phone number. Who knows where your info is really going?

I have used CareerBuilder.com on and off for 20 years in my recruiting business. It used to be a decent job board but not anymore. I renewed my subscription for a 1 year in March 2021 because they gave me a great deal and if I made one placement that would more than pay for itself. Every year I have had to agree to terms for that year and sign a new contract. I was told that 2021 was no different and signed it. Fast forward to 2022... I received an email in February from my new representative at CareerBuilder.com and it said renewal is coming up in March. I responded saying that I was very disappointed in the lack candidates that use CareerBuilder.com in the skill set I am recruiting for and on my job posting I am getting candidates that do not have the skill set required, even though there is a function that is supposed to stop that. I will not be renewing.

WAY too many scammers allowed on this website. (Jokes on them. They're targeting people looking for a job so we don't have any money.) A woman claiming to be with World Vision straight up asked for my driver's license? I didn't even interview with her at all. Too many jobs on the site that overpromise. Red flag. Zero vetting process. Not legitimate at all. Waste of time. If I am a victim of identity theft, they will be the first ones I will contact. Negligent.

Bad Company, they overpromise and don't deliver! Don't waste your time or money and stay away from them! Crooks and liars! Very deceptive business, the worst job board ever...CareerBuilder is a misleading and fraudulent company!
