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 …
Chose Monster
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 …

Attracts candidates. Matches candidates to positions. Weeds out unqualified candidates. Easy to use.Advertising for open positions. Doesn't force you to change your password every other month or so. Very logical layout of the website. The search strings are very accurate. If …

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 …
ZipRecruiter
Chose ZipRecruiter
I selected Ziprecruiter to augment our staffing strategy, the more options we have in our sourcing toolkit the more likely we will get staffed.
Chose ZipRecruiter
ZipRecruiter is much more able to support a busy executive trying to fill a position. The candidates are well-screened, and it is easy to communicate with them throughout the hiring process due to the ZipRecruiter tools.
Chose ZipRecruiter
ZipRecruiter is easy to use, finds candidates fast, and shares job posts widely. It helps hire quickly and saves time. We chose it because it’s affordable and simple.
Chose ZipRecruiter
It's free but not as effective for the higher salaried hospitality positions that require experience and skills.
Chose ZipRecruiter
The AI matching technology significantly reduces the time spent on candidate screening, allowing us to focus on those who fit our criteria best.
Chose ZipRecruiter
I feel like they have provided more applicants with better quality and reliability to the job postings we have put up.
Chose ZipRecruiter
ZipRecruiter falls after LinkedIn and Indeed. I think their candidate quality, filtering, and overall ease of use are better than recruiters' platforms.
Chose ZipRecruiter
For most tasks I prefer Zip. I find that the inventory is very well rounded and I will get applicants on most skill sets in most locations. I also appreciate that the applicants generally are a match for the role, where other sites there can be a lot of "junk" profiles that …
Chose ZipRecruiter
In my opinion, the worst of the 3...
Chose ZipRecruiter
I haven't chosen ZipRecruiter over the other products I use. I use them together to bring in as many applicants as possible. ZipRecruiter is priced well and provides support for multiple areas of business.
Chose ZipRecruiter
It is better than the more expensive tools like Dice and Ladders. Indeed does offer the option to post nationwide as with ZipRecruiter you have to have a city state to post in and only mark the job remote.
Chose ZipRecruiter
ZipRecruiter is a very good platform other than any other platform , we can use and search many profiles in this platform, it gives only quality resume and gives genunine candidate with proper experience , it is a very good platform in Recruiting field and gives many benefits …
Chose ZipRecruiter
There is a qualified pool of applicants with ZipRecruiter.
Chose ZipRecruiter
ZipRecruiter is at the very bottom.
Chose ZipRecruiter
We love Indeed and Dice but I think most of my team prefers ZipRecruiter because of the quality of candidates we get across it. It also works best for us because of the pricing.
Chose ZipRecruiter
Indeed is far better and is the go-to, although it does cost a lot.
Chose ZipRecruiter
ZipRecruiter is inferior when it comes to comparing it to Indeed. I use both because I want more platforms to advertise my job. However, I find myself obtaining more applicants from Indeed over ZipRecruiter. I don't count ZipRecruiter out, though, because every once in a while, …
Chose ZipRecruiter
I don't think ZipRecruiter really stacks up all that well compared to LinkedIn Jobs or Indeed. However, one of my clients really likes ZipRecruiter so, I use ZipRecruiter haha.
Chose ZipRecruiter
We ended up chosing ZipRecruiter because of the success rate we found of the quality of the candidates they provided to us. The Candidates we've found through ZipRecruiter have been very well suited to what we are looking for. Glassdoor didn't have the same accuracy.

ZipRecruiter is great for regular, full-time positions, especially the higher paying salaried positions. I would not recommend ZipRecruiter for the highest turnover positions that are mostly part time because of the price to post on ZipRecruiter. Let me mention, I am only posting hospitality facility positions

  • ZipRecruiter is very easy to use, even for those who are not tech-savvy.
  • The platform offers seamless options to mass-message out all candidates who have applied. This eliminates the time-consuming efforts to have to message out to each candidate.
  • ZipRecruiter parses and connects well with our ATS platform, which makes it easy to track information as well and manage candidate profiles.

Cons
  • 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.

  • Better electronic screening of applicants prior to allowing them to apply for a job (i.e. when licenses are required)
  • When cancelling they require that you call them on the phone (you can't cancel online)
  • I'd prefer that subscriptions were more targeted to my hiring needs

ZipRecruiter by far is the most comprehensive recruitment platform I have used. I have tried many other recruitment platforms and none were as comprehensive as ZipRecruiter. The hands-on assistance by the ZR staff was to notch. When we have an urgent need or just want to keep interest in employment at our campus, we turn to ZipRecruiter.

Usability
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.

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.

Have not had to utilize support recently, but in past instances they have reached out within 12 hours to help rectify any problems or answer any questions about features and functionality. The only issue I ever had with them was trying to clarify, when they previously advertised that they posted on 200+ job boards, if that meant that your job would for sure be posted on each job board. Turns out, by the way, that they only guarantee distribution, not posting

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 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.
