We did not get a *single* hit on Monster. Not one! What a waste of money. Zip Recruiter is the way to go! We've gotten 25 hits in 3 weeks and have filled 3 open positions with people who are complet... See more

NOT WORTH THE MONEY!

From an employers standpoint, Monster falls well short of any expectations that I have. I have the same ad on 3 different job sites. Monster, by far is the lowest performing site when it comes to applicants applying for the position posted. When I called to see if they could help me understand why I had 80(ish) clicks and only 1 person actually apply for the job, the answer I received was they can't force people to apply for the job. 1 out of 80!! I didn't even get the applicants that are under qualified trying to apply for it;1 applicant out of 80. Mind you, I paid $299 for the month and put in a budget of $300 for paid clicks (essentially boosting the job posting). Needless to say, I won't be using this job site to find employees moving forward.

Reply from Monster for Employers

Hello,

Thank you for sharing this feedback. We sincerely apologize that your recent posting did not meet your expectations and that our previous support conversation came across as dismissive. We know that as an employer, every dollar and click needs to count toward finding the right hire.

A 1-out-of-80 conversion rate is certainly not the standard we aim for. While we cannot control an individual's decision to apply, a high click-to-apply gap often signals a technical friction point or a "drop-off" in the application flow that we want to investigate.

We want to make this right. Please look out for a private message from us via the Trustpilot portal, where we will ask for your account details. Alternatively, you can email us directly at customerservice@monster.com. Either way, we will escalate your case to discuss a resolution.

We appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this for you.

Kind regards,
The Monster Team

The New Search Monster Solution is…BAD

The New Search Monster Solution is awful and useless.
Though monster boast its more powerful, reality is useless, old product or solution whatever we call is way better.
I don't think monster is taking negative feedback serious and putting genuine effort in giving value to their customers.
Placing a Job ad is not so helpful, they have many restrictions is ad display, and response was very bad, not even single useful resume.
Resume database search is bad, again many restrictions. they need to immediately improve and give value to the customers. I doubt if they are providing access to complete database.

Good, but could use some improvements

Good, but could use some improvements. Several great candidates, but search capabilities could be improved to allow it to be more user-friendly.

Monster is our go to site for job postings. The site is easy to work with and customer service is always prompt and helpful when needed. The postings are very affordable, especially when they are running specials.

Usually, prefer to use monster to find good candidates. There few things that could be helpful in our search, if few more filters are added to Monster.

So/So

Monster is needed but doesn't add anything spectacular. 5 years ago the Power Search was new and a good tool to have. However the "cool tool" is finicky and I trust my boolean more.

I will admit with Linkedin Recruiter now available I now find my best candidates from there.
