Monster Job Search Software

I really believe this app deserves a 5Star and above because While I was updating and checking my profile I received a message and enjoy of receiving a guidance as for any help that I had a question on and had received immediate service as to what I wa spooking for and really enjoy there choices of the jobs they have available. Excellent service was definitely given. Appreciate this very much and would really recommend anyone to download this app or login to this website for a job search. -Chels

The app itself is awesome. I love being able to swipe and quickly apply. However, there are A LOT of pyramid schemes masquerading as entry level jobs. It would be one thing if they were upfront about it ( I’m not above standing outside with a clipboard for a few weeks if I can really move up in the company) but I’m pretty sure these companies are lying about that. Many of the companies create a new fake name every few months, but if you look at reviews or stories people post on forums like reddit, it’s the same people pulling the same scam. I hate to think of the eager job-seekers or people looking to change careers who will waste precious job hunting time being duped by these and I hope Monster can implement a better way to vet these out.

Normally, I do not take the time to write a review on apps. However, given the fact that Monster continues to market itself as the leading website for job seekers and recruiters alike, hopefully this feedback will be helpful to both of those demographics. From a job seeker perspective- stick with Indeed or LinkedIn. Monster’s search results rarely match up with the key words submitted. It is set up similar to a dating app of ‘swiping left/swiping right’. When you swipe to dismiss a position, it ‘permanently’ removes it. According to the warning when swiping, ‘you will not be able to go back and apply for a dismissed job later’. Since the recommendations were never for positions similar to my uploaded resume and completed profile, swiping away those ‘recommendations’ was an easy choice. Additionally, be prepared that if you upload a resume and complete a profile, you will be instantly bombarded from insurance companies recruiting for sales people and franchise opportunities. If those are the fields you are looking for, Monster is the app for you. Everyone else, it may be wise to devote your time on other platforms which more closely align with your career field. I kept my profile active and approached this app with an open mind. While it does have ease of use; the search feature, recommendations and sharing of profile information to ‘recruiting’ activities completely unrelated to your information earns it a 1 star and written review.
