Monster.com

I am grateful to Monster.com, I look forward to the opportunities & making it huge with additional updates. Associates are very helpful. I have received an opportunity to be availing these again in the future.

Monster.com is a free job search site for job seekers. I never took Monster paid services as a Candidate. In the past years 2012 landed contract job thru Monster Recruiters. Currently need work and posted my Resume 1.5 month.

Monster has 2 platforms: Monster and Monster Plus. I tried their offer for a "Free" Job Posting. It is a nightmare trying to post a FREE job, but after a while I got it, BUT the posting was inactive. Supposedly it because they need to check out the company information. After 2 days I called them, then they told me that I had to sign up first and then post the job and this is why when they were researching my company information the job was not posted. I was told to post it again, which I did. After another day, the same thing happened. I called a 2nd time. The second agent just could not answer me straight if I have to pay for the job posting in order to post or if they have a "free" job posting available. If we must pay, just say so in plain English and cut the **. Terrible way to treat a potential customer.

After a week of signing in to their site, I receive a lot of spam credit card offers. They will send you a random job offer that doesn't fit your job description or skills. Even after deleting my account I still receive spammy credit card offers. I highly suggest not to subscribe or signup for their site, you will regret it! Your information is not safe. If there's a negative star rating for their site. I definitely give them -5 stars.

India based companies have been pretending to be recruiters so they can gather resumes to fish out skills to use in Resumes for Green Card holders in the United States. Monster.com is the biggest culprit. Since posting my resume on Monster.com, I am inundated with spam calls from fake india recruiters offering job opportunities way outside my stated desired positions in my profile on Monster. Almost 50% of the phone calls I am getting are from indian speaking, fake corporations offering contract jobs all over the country. They call as late as 9 p.m. Eastern Time. They have sent emails claiming to have spoken to me and to send my resume to them as soon as possible. So if you are job hunting, do not use Monster.com, they are the single source of these phishing scams from India.

Very bad service by Monster recruitment, they are nicely talking till they get money, don't care to serve the customer. They promised something and not honour it. Don't go with them and waste your money, better put it in trash instead of paying to monster.

I have purchased the career booster at Monsterindia.com and I am satisfied with the amount I paid for. The Team has been very professional and cooperative. Though I have received a opportunity after 3 months of paying for the Xpress resume+ service, it is a relevant opportunity.

As recruiters, we have a system of testing and retesting different job boards. We haven't used Monster.com in years, so wanted to try them out again against our staples of Indeed and Linkedin. We paid $650 for a month of access and didn't get one interview from it. That same spend on Indeed would get us 1 or 2 hires. I would stay clear of this group and look elsewhere.

I created a profile and resume on Monster a few days ago and made sure it was private on not public view. I had not yet applied for any positions. I had my most personal information listed on my resume and profile due to when I apply directly with a company of my choosing, I will know the company, that it's truly local and trust them with my info. Well, I started getting MASS amounts of emails from all over the country, mostly foreign names, mostly claiming to be placement agencies in which I am NOT applying with and some are completely fraudulent. Monster allowed all my most personal information to be in public view although I was careful to make sure I chose it was NOT. VERY UNETHICAL and scary company. They have lost their morals and values. STAY AWAY, it's not the Monster Jobs of long ago when they honored your choice of not allowing public view of your information.

I have been looking for a job for 2 months. I waited until very recently to add my resume to Monster.com. Almost immediately after submitting my resume, I started receiving a constant stream of spam calls from overseas call centers for irrelevant temp jobs. Not a single call about an actual relevant, full-time position. Apparently "allow employers to contact me" means "immediately sell off my information to anyone and everyone that wants it". After using services like LinkedIn and Indeed, Monster.com just feels incredibly cheap and spammy and I honestly don't know why anyone would use it at this point.
