Accenture People + Work Connect vs. CareerBuilder.com

Accenture People + Work Connect is a wonderful platform, no doubt, and is suitable when you are looking out for talent and hiring for open roles in the organizations and in specific regions. Accenture People + Work Connect helped us in identifying the right talent for the position in the region required. However, when compared to the other platforms for hiring there is a lot more that needs to be developed and updated.

If I could give them a zero, I would. In my experience, CareerBuilder.com literally took thousands of my hard-earned dollars ($5K) for NOTHING in return! You would think that since CareerBuilder.com could literally see that it was not producing the results promised, it would have considered releasing me from the contract or lowering the cost, in my opinion, but CareerBuilder.com made sure they collected every penny from me with zero consideration for customer satisfaction and failed to deliver the applicants. That told me everything I needed to know about CareerBuilder.com and how they really feel about customers. In my opinion, CareerBuilder.com primary focus is to get customers on the hook with a contract to legally guarantee they receive their money from you, but they can care less about the results their platform produces or customer satisfaction, “they just want your money”! I firmly believe CareerBuilder.com knows that their product does not work, hence the reason for the 1 yr contract is to basically guarantee company revenue for an entire year.

• Easy application process.
• Faster and effective tracking.
• Flexibility in search.

• In my opinion, take your money for nothing in return
• In my opinion, over promise and under deliver
• In my opinion, deceive customers
• In my opinion, hold you to the terms of their contract, but will not take accountability for lack of results produced
• In my opinion, poor customer service

• UI could be a bit more clean.
• Filter search at times doesn't display all the relevant positions.
• Advanced Filter option for more details search could be helpful.

Incentivized

• Functionality can be more user-friendly for beginners.
• More options to integrate with other platforms and Applicant Tracking Systems
• Make it easier to create candidate lists, and send mass emails--while this feature is available, CareerBuilder.com does not make it easy for users to perform these tasks.
• Add an option for the user to be notified when candidates in saved folders have removed their resume or are no longer available.

CareerBuilder.com is average in terms of overall usability. I am able to post my positions and figure the site out. However, finding out how many additional options you are is not something easily accessible. If you don't know where to look, you may not be able to find or know how many "boosts" you have to use for the month.

I have had a positive experience with CareerBuilder's support. When the platform has been updated throughout the years, CareerBuilder's account managers have always provided our team with helpful live tutorials and demonstrations to help familiarize our users with new and upcoming features, as well as older features that will no longer be offered. Support team makes themselves available on an ongoing basis.

From my discussion with the management with regards to hiring and the portal used, I came to know that Google for Jobs was able to be considered earlier, but was rejected as there was lots of noise, multiple unwanted applications and the filtering process also took a while and wasted the time of the TA team.

I do not think that CareerBuilder.com is a very good job posting site. It does not provide you with quality applicants like some other products I have used. Not only does it provide a low number of candidates, the ones we do get to tend to be repeat applicants or are not qualified at all.

• Helped in faster application filtering.
• Got the right candidates applications.
• Gave overall picture of availability from the application pool.

Incentivized

• There was not a good ROI for the investment we spent with CareerBuilder. It cost us money that did not turn in to employees.
• We spent labor hours trying to get candidates who were ghosting us. So it ended up being a waste of time and manpower as well.
