Considered Both Products	CareerBuilder 📞 Matthew Allen Director Of Operations and Recruiting in Human Resources at ROI Call Center Solutions (Outsourcing/Offshoring, 1001-5000 employees) Chose CareerBuilder.com CareerBuilder did not meet our needs because of this we stopped using them. We have found Indeed to be the best hiring platform out there, and we have looked at ALL OF THEM. We spent money that did not turn in to new hires, so it was a waste. It appeared like CareerBuilder … Incentivized Helpful? Sue Kwon, MBA PHR Senior Human Resources Manager in Human Resources at Commerce Casino (Gambling & Casinos, 1001-5000 employees) Chose CareerBuilder.com CareerBuilder.com was one of the first employment advertising that our company has used and we have been using it for about 7 years. Since then, we have tried other employment advertising (Monster.com, Indeed.com, LinkedIn, RecruitMilitary, and ZipRecruiter) and we have … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose CareerBuilder.com CareerBuilder proved to have more candidates and an easier interface than Monster.

Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose CareerBuilder.com Careerbuilder comes in last place on my list with ZipRecruiter and Monster and LinkedIn in top place Incentivized Helpful? Sean Pennel Senior Manager, Executive Search & Talent Acquisition in Human Resources at AlphaProTemps, A.P.R., Inc. (Staffing and Recruiting, 51-200 employees) Chose CareerBuilder.com CareerBuilder.com is a different animal than LinkedIn Jobs. LinkedIn pulls candidates who are passive, whereas CareerBuilder.com targets more active candidates in the market. LinkedIn has served as a much more viable resource for sourcing higher level candidates, who are not … Incentivized Helpful? Amy Love Staffing Specialist in Corporate at Wise Staffing Group (Broadcast Media, 51-200 employees) Chose CareerBuilder.com CareerBuilder.com offers a better selection. It is almost as if a more responsible group of people utilize it. Incentivized Helpful?	Indeed Verified User Chose Indeed.com ZipRecruiter is current. Monster.com and CareerBuilder.com were used in the past. As far as amount of applicant flow, Indeed.com is head and shoulders above the others. We get a lot of applicants that are not qualified at all, but that happens with any job board. Incentivized Helpful? Hari haran US IT recruiter in Human Resources at Exaways Corporation (Human Resources, 11-50 employees) Chose Indeed.com We use Indeed for the maximum amount of time for job postings since it does its job best. The sourcing of resumes using various filter processes is unique. We can communicate with candidate interns without revealing our originality. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Indeed.com This is the best portal in terms of value for money and ease of use. All the above portals requires more time to get the resume but Indeed.com make the job much easier. This portals is specifically for the niche roles Incentivized Helpful? Dana Esparza Warehouse Supervisor at Fetch Package (Warehousing, 10,001+ employees) Chose Indeed.com Indeed stacks up against these organizations because all 4 are available to find matching jobs near you. I have used all these webs and can sincerely say that Indeed is the BEST one because to does not sugar quote and does not make you doubt anything about the listed job. … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Indeed.com Each one has its positives and negatives. If you are a job seeker the site to use would be Indeed.com because they list a lot of jobs. If you are an employer just use the job posting features instead of the resume search. Incentivized Helpful? Arnie Gerstein Resource Operations Director in Human Resources at Johnson Technologies Services Inc. (Computer Software, 51-200 employees) Chose Indeed.com Indeed is good; yet Dice is a good alternative for our Technical, Engineer, Web, Cloud and IT Secruity positions! Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Indeed.com Indeed.com seems to be more simplistic than some of the other mature job listing sites and we like this ease of use factor. When it's time to list a job we do not want HR dreading a complex setup that other sites seems to have. It should be almost as easy as sending an email … Incentivized Helpful? Ryan Watson Talent Acquisition Manager in Human Resources at 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty (Real Estate, 501-1000 employees) Chose Indeed.com Indeed provides the highest amount of applicants, but from a usability perspective, it is among the worst. Indeed actively and intentionally hides personal email addresses, and it encourages candidates to use poorly formatted resumes. Indeed could be a much better tool if they … Incentivized Helpful? Jesse Gessel Buyer & Category Manager in Sales at Backwoods 2.0, LLC (Retail, 51-200 employees) Chose Indeed.com Indeed is far and above the best in its space! I have used others like ZipRecruiter and Monster, etc. but Indeed tends to be where we get the most applicants, we use that pool to do our interviews and then ultimately hire from our applicants from Indeed. The functionality is … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Indeed.com Indeed.com is better than most of the job sites that we have utilized, mainly due to candidate flow.
