Rip Off Stay Away
November 2, 2023

You deserve no stars, but couldn't post without at least 1. I was suppose to get free trial never did, I logged in on 10/27/23 and made sure not set on auto renew, then still got billed anyways. Never received 1 single application for a client service representative (easy job to get applications for) and then got billed for 2 months of nothing and I will be disputing with cc company! You are a scammer!

HORRIBLE!
January 25, 2024

It was good back in its day, but so many changes made to website that did not need to be made. They could not just leave it alone! IT IS UNUSABLE! ABSOLUTELY UNUSABLE! Navigation is limited to a small window in the bottom corner. REALLY? Jobs are mostly junk and spam bs. A million instacart and jobs like that. It is as bad as monster is, which is pretty much the same load of crap.

A nuisance
December 12, 2023

Me posting my resume on this site was the worst mistake. I get over 10 CALLS every single day. Some jobs I'm not even qualified to work. I swear I believe they sold all my information overseas. I have never heard of not a one of the companies that that called and I have taking contracts for over 20 years. Everyone is from foreign nationalities. No English fluent recruiters.Can barely understand them.DO NOT POOST YOUR RESUME HERE!

Horrible
October 4, 2023

Resume search worked great for the first 6 months. I'm not sure what happened but now there's a glitch where you can't get past first 20 results even if there's hundreds there. Customer service is rude and almost non-existent. I've been on screenshares to try and solve the problem to no avail. I've asked at this point dozens of times to speak to someone in contract cancellation as the product isn't working and I'm told by client support you have to email contractrenewal for that and they won't talk to anyone on the phone. I've emailed contract renewal now 7 times with no response. If that isn't frustrating enough on my most recent, I believe 14th or 15th, call I was told about the fine print on auto renewal. You can't just email them and tell them the product doesn't work and you want to cancel. There's a very specific way you have to email them to opt out of auto-renewal. It used to be a reputable company but it's trash now.

This website attracts scammers. I posted my resume on career builder and with in 3 days I received 7 text messages/emails from scammers that would only do interviews through chat messages. I have yet to receive contact from an actual person that is looking to hire me. The messages/emails claimed to be from legitimate companies but were unable to provide a phone number to contact the company at. I completed one interview and they said they were going to send me a check in the mail for office supplies. There was no verification of age, new hire paperwork or any way to talk to an actual person.

Unless you like being called 30-45 per day, every single day, including weekends, from nothing but what my phone automatically marks as "spam" "medium threat" (some even come across as a high threat). They are all from the middle east and are calling from a call center. You can hear many other voices in the background talking to other poor suckers. Even after you take your resume down and take it off of view by potential employers, these scammers still call you. Soon I will have to change my phone number! Do Not, under any circumstances, apply, create a profile, or upload your resume onto this site!

I had marked "email only" for recruiters to contact, but that didn't matter. I was immediately inundated with spam calls/texts from every fake made up company.

Do not use this page
September 13, 2022

Job scammers from fake caller ID numbers with fake job listings… assuming you can understand what they are saying. Ghosted and never hear back! Don't give your information! Blowing up my phone, not USA based. Wasted my time… several years. I can't even get my data removed after several attempts.
Good grief!

Super Negative Experience
September 15, 2020

If you're looking for a place to source candidates for your company, I would advise you not to use CareerBuilder. I've never been so dissatisfied with a vendor in my life. They refused to refund us despite knowing we were absolutely not happy a couple of days into our 3-month contract. It became really clear to me quickly that most of their clients were completely dissatisfied and they potentially didn't have a customer that could share a positive experience. The sales guy was nice but I do hope he finds a position elsewhere because it's a terrible company.

Do not put your email address or phone number anywhere on the site, or you'll get phone calls and emails from 'recruiters' about unrelated random jobs, IE, spam.
Wait, how can you avoid putting contact info on a career site? Aha... yeah don't use CareerBuilder it's trash.
Recommended jobs are also rubbish
