CareerBuilder Reviews

I am very angry because, I have been applying for so many jobs. All I get in response is ** advertising. I put my resume online and my personal information, I want a job desperately. All I get in return is junk emails from staff agencies. Nothing but garbage! I keep doing the same thing over and over. I am convinced that CareerBuilders is nothing but a big scam! Everyone that I come in contact with used CareerBuilders, nobody has ever got a job with this bogus website and other ** thing is I'm getting all kinds of ** phone calls from solicitors. You should be removed. I am disgusted with the fact that career link main focus is that we use your website, what the ** for!

I do not know the full name of this company since I only get emails. I constantly received emails from this site which is not CareerBuilder.com from the Tribune Co. I did not realize this was not the Tribune's email until the emails had a person’s name in front of the email (**) and the jobs they were listing are in another state.

I received an email from Kate ** claiming they reviewed my resume from Careerbuilder.com and stated they were happy to inform me that I was acceptable for a Customer Manager job. No interview was required, "just a scanned image of your driver's license and utility bill sent to the email address listed above or you can fax it." The company states they're a leading civil company offering diversified general contracting and building services to private clients and public agencies all over the world. The job description was to receive payments from customers through my bank account.

CareerBuilder is a job seeking web site. Many advertisements listed claim one thing, until during the interview, the job is not really a job, but a 1099 offer. I would say about 20% of the jobs are fraudulent. They either do not exist or are not what they say they are. A lot of time, money, effort is used in attempting to get these jobs that do not exist. CareerBuilder may or may not know about this but does nothing to clean up the situation, even after numerous complaints. Their phone staff always acts as if this is the first time they have heard of it. Then, they, CareerBuilder, asks you to do the research of the company in question, submit the ads, get the names of the people at the company, and they will look into it. It seems to me, CareerBuilder should, by taking these fraudulent ads, be the partly held responsible. My concern is this: since this company is an AP affiliate owned by the papers and CareerBuilder is also owned by the papers, will you do any research?

I used CareerBuilder for a while, and I've been getting many fake job offers. Some I've half way into taking it till I reconsidered and didn't go on. Some were the ABC Gaming Studio to be a head sales person or something like that and I have to file a business license, federal employer id, etc. I find that a little strange.

I signed up with them expecting job leads, after all it is a job search site, right ? Over half of what I receive from these creeps, is work-at-home scams or "schools" for the postal service. Reporting these does no good at all as they also are selling your email address everywhere they can, without bothering to check if they are reputable or not. I receive more spam for fake lotteries and from Nigerian scams on this account than all my other email accounts combined . I know it is them because I made this email for job searching only.

I was contacted for a potential job, titled "Transaction Manager" which required a deposit of "funds" into my own personal banking account. It gave no info as to location, only to say the business was based in Sweden and Norway. A link was given. I removed my resume from CareerBuilder, apparently, they do not screen "employers" and post your resume, so absolutely everyone sees it. What a shame, when you really need a job. Just marked them as a phishing scam

I was victimized by the careerbuilder scam in 2006. I applied for the donations collector position.
