Minimal to absent applicants for a specific position/profession. Other sites both free and paid supersede the amount of applicants with out requirements. Somewhat difficult navigation of site itself without user friendly quick log in

Tried to re position, changed criteria, change area, got lots of views, no usable candidates. Really had high hopes, seems that Head Hunters may be the way to go. Disappointed

Although there are preset filters to prevent unwanted information, there were so many resumes and inquiries that did not meet with the requirements. i.e.: filtered to keep resumes from out of the country OUT but yet I received lots of them...

After using Monster for quite a few hires over the last 5 years with half our staff hired from Monster and never having a problem, our last very recent experience has not been a good one. We are extremely perplexed by this. Trying to contact and get a response from the customer service rep has been difficult and finally when contact was made poor results continued to the extent that our posting was shut down without our authorization even though we remitted up front. Applicants have been calling us directly to find out if the position is still open and we are days away from expiration. Also, the response for the posting is the worst response we have ever had and upon discussing this with the rep we were directed to a mountain of resumes (no criteria) that we were supposed to weed through. They really need to train the customer service people thoroughly and empower them to help the client. It has been a very unpleasant experience.

they huff and puff and tell you how great everything is and they are doing you a favor. They try to raise your prices and make you wait until the last minute to come to their senses.

Monster, about a decade ago, was a fantastic job board for finding and hiring engineering talent. We signed a long-term agreement with them that was supposed to allow us access to their entire candidate database system and when they bought&integrated new companies like talentbin, instead of adding those resumes/profiles to their existing talent database they made a new product that forced us to either pay more money for it or to just not use it... when you sign an agreement for access to an entire candidate database you should have access to it so we opted not to pay them any more money and frankly have felt cheated by them. DO NOT TRUST ANY AGREEMENT FOR LONGER THAN ONE YEAR THAT YOU SIGN WITH MONSTER! We found there's been a decrease in both applications to our job postings and the amount of candidates returned on searches year-to-year. Before we signed the long term deal, Monster produced between 4 to 8 hires a year; after signing the long term agreement the best year they have had was 3 candidates from Monster hired, only had 1 hire via them last year and we have not made a hire from Monster this year as of May 2016. Be extremely cautious doing business with them, when they change their products instead of grandfathering you in and keeping you within your budget that you contractually signed to they will try to squeeze more money from you for a product that has consistently returned fewer results year by year.
