CareerBuilder Reviews

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.

Unable to upload Careerbuilder to our ATS in September - tried canceling account due to poor onboarding - Rep said he would, he did not - no tech support - now hounding me for payment - gross interaction - no accountability - no resolution - requests for help go into black hole - BEWARE - CEO contacted, said he would get me help - pure failure - no help.

Career Builder is GARBAGE. All you will get is spam and scammers. I have NEVER received an actual legitimate REAL job lead from Career Builder. They are terrible at identifying spam and scammers, and they should not be trusted.

Every job that I have applied to is a scam. They send you to 20 different pages, then when you finally talk to someone, it's a joke! All through app texting. Although they are getting better at it, unfortunately the company is actually real. They even used the real names of the people who work there. Company based out of California, with the jobs they are actually hiring (above my knowledge and skill). Then the send me a check from a construction company out of Texas for 1500.00 and all I have to do is deposit it and they can steal all my money. I will never use Career Builder ever again!

They must be desperate for resumes. I posted a resume about 15 years ago. I then retired shortly after. They continue to post my resume. I get offers daily for employment opportunities. I contacted them (not an easy thing). They refuse to delete my resume or my account. Just stupid, really.

I was in dire need when I reached out to CareerBuilder to sponsor my ads in the effort of recruiting new employees for my job listings. Initially, everyone was helpful and kind, until I sign their contract, then no one was available to assist me in training, no one was available to even speak with me. Turnover in the offices was so heavy, no one could commit to talking and meeting with me. Period. I am stuck in their runaround, the runaround and absolutely no service. I paid $3,300.00 for 3 weeks of NO activity.

It really hurts to give this flakey company a positive star. Negative 10 would be more in line with their poor service, poor website and ability to allow job seekers to be able to post. I believe that the word sham would be a more appropriate listing. I have a resume that is 1 1/2 pages and it says it is too long, or the file is empty or a couple of other lame excuses. Employers should never waste their time with them.

The site is praised for its ease of navigation, customizable job alerts, and additional services like resume writing assistance and application tracking. It integrates Google technology to offer relevant job matches and provides users with tools to manage their resumes and applications effectively​.

I am a degreed professional with over 20 years of experience. I found this site to be a complete waste of time and energy. I have a fully filled out profile, updated resume, and I constantly applying to jobs. In fact, over the course of a few months, I applied to 55 jobs. My profile was NEVER VIEWED ONCE. I get useless alerts that send nothing but trash to my email box. This is a horrible site and not worth anyone's time.

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.
