Like already said Monster or Career Builder doesnt have the filter option to filter the candidate current location which Dice TalentSearch has in it. Overall experience is much satisfied to used to eradicate the duplicate profiles. the first thing say about the Dice …
Chose Dice TalentSearch
Dice TalentSearch is now a brand and has its market presence when it comes to US market. With right filters and pool it is most preferred job and talent search tool which an organisation aims for.
Chose Dice TalentSearch
I received multiple candidates only after hours of posting my jobs on other sites. And for a fraction of the cost! I not only received quality candidates but also candidates who actually matched my requirements. These sites also have the option for proactive outreach and …
Chose Dice TalentSearch
Overall, I think we selected and have stayed with DICE because it has a strong concentration of IT specific resources. They also seem to have a good number of candidates who are looking for independent consulting work which best aligns with our current business model. But I …
Chose Dice TalentSearch
They all have different features, methodologies/techniques and value. I feel overall Dice Open Web is the most Flexible, Creative Search Tool; yet have already used JobDiva for several years and seems to be a very good ATS. I've been recruiting, sourcing and managing talent …
Chose Dice TalentSearch
what works well for Dice Open Web is that it can be used internally within a company very well. the groups of jobs with same skill sets across teams can be well displayed on the web and thus candidates can apply to multiple jobs in one go. ability to customize email templates, …
Chose Dice TalentSearch
The decision to go with Dice wasn't up to me, it was up to technology leaders and decision makers above me. The decision to go with it originally was the belief that it was more robust than it really was and was a true competitor to the likes of Linkedin. It seems a bit …
Chose Dice TalentSearch
We are also using Hiring Monster/Tech Fetch/Career Builder, apart from Dice. However, the search results of Dice are best. We have closed many candidates through Dice including many niche skills that are rarely available in the market or on other job boards. I highly recommend …
Chose Dice TalentSearch
The newer version is the biggest drawback in Dice as it has errors and bugs. Dice had the best feature for ease of use in the older version.
Chose Dice TalentSearch
Dice Open Web is the dominant app which connects the network on a large number and helps employees and candidate.
Chose Dice TalentSearch
Dice is the best job board out there. There is no alternative for it.
Chose Dice TalentSearch
This is a great tool where it consolidates the search results from over 50+ social and professional networking sites and brings you a large pool of candidates. This includes a combination of both active as well as a passive pool of resources. Helped a lot with a few of the …
Chose Dice TalentSearch
I would rate Dice Open Web in the middle of the stack of tools we use. Not great, but worth using at times. Entelo and SeekOut are probably better from a search capability, although SeekOut is still a bit new.
Chose Dice TalentSearch
Dice Open Web Social Media connect using Big Data technology makes it worth while using the application. Dice in itself has a huge database of candidates with updated resume which is good enough for us to find the right candidates matching our profile. With Dice the Candidates …

Monster.com is very excellent for professionals who are in need of candidate database with effective cost. The customer service is very good in term of explaining new features and accepting user reviews. Even though it is cost effective it doesn't fail to meet the user needs. I …

Monster.com Vs. Dice.com Vs. Indeed.com Vs. Naukri.com Vs. LinkedIn.com Monster has a larger database than Dice Monster and has a broader reach across all sectors not related to tech. With Monster, we can attract more active candidates than passive ones that LinkedIn uses. …
Chose Monster
I selected Monster.com over Dice.com because of its wide filter criteria. Also, Monster.com reached wide range of talent as compared to dice.com
Chose Monster
I think Monster.com fills a different niche. SeekOut/LinkedIn are more about finding candidates from the overall pool of millions of profiles and resumes. Monster.com shows you immediately who is looking, who is applying, etc. Monster.com also has the salary tools, which I …
Chose Monster
I started using Monster.com in my initial days of recruiting and the UI of Monster.com is much interactive and user friendly. While using CareerBuilder.com I faced many issues while sorting profiles location-wise and keyword-wise so there is no comparison between Monster.com …

I selected Monster.com for the complete package and very useful database. Find monster.com very easy to use, track the activity of the recruiter as well as of the candidate. Checking inventory remaining is very easy to find in Monster.com. The is the best database to get the …
Chose Monster
We use Indeed quite often as we are able to post positions for free however, we do not always get a quality candidate like we can from Monster.com
Chose Monster
Monster rounds our our resources to be able to deliver quality candidates for internal and our govnerment clients needs! It's a great commpliment, each tool has it's advantage! Especially easy interface with our ATS and reporting capabilitles.
Chose Monster
We evaluated two more job boards. One of them was free of charge and it is much harder to manage meaning the layout of software is not easy. The other service that we used, we barely got applicants at all.
What was not helpful for us, is that in Monster.com we didn't find a way …
Chose Monster
We have used Indeed.com and LinkedIn Jobs as well as Monster.com for posting open positions online. Monster.com was consistent in the quality of applicants that they delivered to us. The other online job boards are okay with the applicants they provide but we have found that …
Chose Monster
The powerful feature that Monster has is its Boolean search, which is incredible. The resumes that pop up are the ones that are not able to be found on any other job boards. The Power Resume Search feature is the pro here. When it comes to Dice, the filters help us find the …
Chose Monster
Indeed - You cannot do active sourcing on this. It is only passive recruiting in which you need to wait for the candidate to get back to you. Also the number of candidates that you can approach is limited.
With Monster you can do active hiring and there is no limit to which you …
Chose Monster
It is the least effective tool we use. It's steadily declined in relevance in the marketplace which means that not only do less candidates know about Monster, but also fewer employers known about the platform. I think Indeed has largely taken over Monster's position in the …

This platform is probably more suited for small to mid-size companies that may not have super specific roles and requirements. Organizations also that may not have a large budget for these types of programs also could be a good fit as it does offer some value, but probably falls behind in the cutting edge and super competitive landscape for platforms or organizations. It's probably less appropriate for large companies or places that are investing in current and cutting edge technology or products.

Cons
  • The recent update is not highlighting most of the keywords which is really annoying.
  • I feel the UI should be more improved.
  • Sometimes we see lots of resumes with lots of manipulated details and fake experience to get the attention.
  • Sometimes most of the resumes don’t have contact details and it's difficult to get in touch with candidates.

  • Monster.com can improve on its data redundancy aspect. It frustrates the users to look at or access the same sets of results or the same applications again and again.
  • It can also look into the spam feature. There are ways one can spam it by taking out information.

I'm assuming we will keep using DICE, but Indeed and LinkedIn are starting to prove their value and strength in having candidates/consultants use their services to look for new opportunities.

Usability
Its already I mentioned it is used to search the resumes of relevant profile upon the request of clients requirement. comfortable with filters to validate the profile before the resumes open. Can be able to locate the profile which the recruiter is willing to work on the requirement. Little more costly when compared to other job portals.

With the use of Monster.com I can get my job done with the turn around time. The user interface is very good to use and anyone can use it at the first time. It has saved search features which is very useful for tracking. Mainly, it is useful for both job seekers as well as for the recruiters.

Dice provides ease of sourcing candidates and is the most useful in staffing industry. However, we still recommend the team to provide older version access to the user which was much easier and flexible to use. Dice posting is the best feature in Dice. The Boolean Search feature in Dice is also very useful.

Monster is a job portal with rich features and a great depth of database in candidates. They also have a good search option that is able to display the right candidates when you search for them. The only gripe that I have about Monster is that they need to improve their database of candidates when it comes to blue-collar jobs or non-software jobs.

what works well for Dice Open Web is that it can be used internally within a company very well. the groups of jobs with same skill sets across teams can be well displayed on the web and thus candidates can apply to multiple jobs in one go. ability to customize email templates, set alerts and notifications are really 3-5 steps processes. Candidates can also track their own progress once their process starts for filling an opening in a group.

Monster.com Vs. Dice.com Vs. Indeed.com Vs. Naukri.com Vs. LinkedIn.com Monster has a larger database than Dice Monster and has a broader reach across all sectors not related to tech. With Monster, we can attract more active candidates than passive ones that LinkedIn uses. Monster is more globally present than Naukri, which is used mostly only in India. Monster job posts are more effective than Indeed.

  • Monster.com helped me to close the niche positions and diverse positions very quickly which in return made a huge impact on profit for organization and myself as well.
  • Monster.com helps me reduce the time to fulfill a particular position which again helps to increase the cost.
  • Monster.com has helped me to reach across various demographic groups allowing my company to tap into a more diverse talent pool.
