CareerBuilder Reviews

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!

Careerbuilder.com used to be a decent job board-- about 20 years ago. However, if you value your privacy, time, and sanity, do not use it. There are better job boards out there: ** (the best in my opinion), **. While I am now gainfully employed (and not through Careerbuilder.com), I used careerbuilder.com along with other job sites to look for work during the height of the pandemic in 2020 and 2021.

They keep sending me jobs and when I try to apply the site goes to another site that doesn't have the job I'm trying to apply to. It's usually a survey or ad. I be been trying to find a job for 8 mos. and these websites are nothing but scams that are selling my info to marketers and harass me with phone calls all day. Just why!

CareerBuilder is not a business anymore and they are link to scammers requesting erroneous job positions to get personal information from the customer. They are crooks!! No one monitors who accessing people personal information. Do not use them!!

Since using Careerbuilder in Jan 2022, I get TONS of porn spam, and repetitive scammers that go the distance texting me with legit conversation. Today's 2/7/22 was a company named HOMESTEAD RECEPTION CENTER in Tallula, IL. They wanted me on Skype for an INSTANT MESSAGE interview which seemed odd to me - No face-to-face. I went along with it, and they asked me about 18 pretty legit questions. Once finished she had to "verify it with the Head Department" which seemed odd to me because what's the "Head Department?" I waited the 7-10 mins for her to return, and she said I was perfect. Her next message asked my full name, address, email & direct cell #.

They sold my data to spammers, who contact me near-daily referencing CareerBuilder as how they got my data. Their TSST team, regular support team, and even CEO refuse to do anything about it. Trusting them with your personal information is a mistake your inbox will regret.

The moment I posted my resume on CareerBuilder I've become a target of very fishy, scammy emails and text messages. I've never experienced anything like this with other services. Awful experience, I do not recommend getting involved with CareerBuilder unless you enjoy being spammed 24/7.

Since I signed up with Careerbuilder I've received nothing but scams. Apparently, anyone can view my resume and information but I have no protection. Indeed verifies that the company is legit. Career Builder does not. Don't waste your time or give out your information. Also, be diligent with anyone who contacts you through Career Builder.

Beware for Over Charges and Auto Renewal. We registered on CareerBuilder and paid $300 and opted out when registering for automatic renewal. We uploaded and posted 2 fully detailed Job Posts including our company logo from 1st day and After 30 days we got 4 applications with No relevant experience and they charged another $300 dollars automatically, I called them today, a day after being charged and spoke with Camaron in Billing and explained that we were charged without authorization and his response was there are several areas in the site that needs to be checked off and there is nothing he can do to reverse the charge. We spend THOUSANDS with INDEED every YEAR and I will Only Recommend INDEED and will continue to use INDEED'S Service. STAY AWAY FROM CAREERBUILDER. You will be wasting your hard earned money.

After signing up for an account with CareerBuilder.com, immediately started receiving spam texts for things unrelated to job searches. Then my email inbox started flooding with “recruiters” offering jobs with starting pay set way above normal (for example $25/hour for a basic customer service job), aka too good to be true. On top of that, they were all from people in India. They started calling and leaving voice messages and sending texts. Dozens of them. Any time I tried to change my contact preferences on both the website and the app, it would redirect me to the job search page. Otherwise the settings had no options to stop receiving third party contact.

I have used multiple job sites, and Careerbuilder.com is the only one I have ever had issues with. To be clear, I am not complaining about the basic 1st party spam that careerbuilder.com sends; I was able to opt out of that easily enough. However, after making the mistake of applying to just one job through careerbuilder.com, and without even creating an account, careerbuilder.com made my information available publicly. Within 24 hours I started receiving cold emails from "employers" who could barely read or write on a 6th grade level. Notice that some of the following have near identical phrasings.

Someone was using my phone number for job applications. Resulting in me getting 5-15 calls a day for job offers, each time I got a call for Dawn ** I told them that that wasn’t me and to remove me number from their resume. However they told me only DAWN can removed the number. So let me get this straight.... if someone is LYING and using a false phone number I can’t do anything about it? I assume this person is using a fake number to collect unemployment while making it appear they are job searching.

Not user friendly to sign up. Very poor turnaround for 'support'. Lengthy process of 'authentication'. I found the sign up process slanted to the job seeker... Several times I had to stop, clear the registration, and go back to select employer. I don't know why. I reached out to 'support'. The morning of the next day, still no response from them. My card was charged and showed my 'purchases' but they didn't get authenticated in timely fashion. I gave up. I requested a refund and the guy who took my request was very helpful and efficient. I don't want to suck up my day by trying to post job ads. I have learned that there are many more user friendly sites who want to post my ad and let me get back to my job!

Career Builder sells your information to 3rd parties. I received many robo calls after registering on their site. I have never had an employer contact me via this site, as with other job sites. I would recommend using other sites, including InDeed or after finding a job on Career Builder go directly to the company site.

CareerBuilder made my experience easy when job searching. They have a easy resume uploader that fills in most of the information for you after the resume is uploaded. They have it where you can filter the job search according to the category of your choice.

Job searching can be stress enough. And while there are many avenues of search, I find CareerBuilder to be easy, reliable, and provide enough information, that does not make you feel as though you have wasted your time, thus adding to your already stress. Besides, they have many opportunities within their site to offer a plethora of options.

I have been using CareerBuilder for years, it is the one website that I trust consistently to help me find employment. I have been to many an interview and had my a good response from my resume using CareerBuilder and I will continue to use it.

I’ve been using CareerBuilder since 2010. It has helped me get 2 jobs that I kept during these 10 years. I love the updates because if I give up or forget to check that day it gives me the ones posted that day.

I personally use CareerBuilder because it is the easiest to search and send resumes. If you are out of work I find that you need to apply to a lot of jobs because maybe 1 out of 10 will call you back so ease in applying is important to me.

I have used Career Builder to search for jobs for myself and others. It allows you to search in several different ways based on job titles, specific words or company names. Most companies provide a pretty extensive description as to the job functions.

Very seldom give 5's, always room to improve. Headers allow me to get specific quickly. Doesn't overwhelm with information that is not necessary during initial search review. Appreciate knowing the location and can filter search.
