Monster

I made the mistake of trying to use Monster during a job search. I recieved nothing but irrelevant responses and spam.

I wish I had read these reviews first! Their career advisor got in touch with me after looking at my CV from their site. They offered a "discount" on their advertised CV and Job Search services. The price was still very high but they promised that they would provide me with access to an exclusive part of their data bank and that with this access along with the other services, with my years of experience and domain, I would be able to get exactly the type of position I was looking for within a great salary range and within 2 months. They also claimed that they had a high success rate in exactly what I was looking for. Again, I had used Monster before (not these services) and was happy with what I got out of it but clearly things have really gone downhill since.
Since getting their services I repeatedly reminded them that of no recruiter was contacting with positions anywhere near what had been promised I would get from buying their package.

This is a scam service, do not pay them anything! Their "career advisors" from India are only interested in taking your money and the rest of the company does not care on following through on the guarantees that they promise. Only the CV service came through although given how little impact it had, you can ask if they really added any value.

They target unemployed people at their most vulnerable and scam them out of whatever they think they can get. When I pointed this out they told me to just wait, another 4 months, totally ignoring their original guarantee of viable positions within 2 months. If I had the luxury of waiting 3 times longer, I would not invest more than 34k INR to accelerate my search!
I promptly asked for a refund for a failure on their part to deliver the promised service and this is when I saw how little they care about their customer; they emailed me a long list of hoops to jump through to her me get my goal, all related to having me make further use of their services! Their customer services then feigned ignorance, refusing to acknowledge the contents of my email and sent me back to the same scam artist who took my money. Do not make the same mistake I did, they are not a reputable organisation.
Keep your money, stay far away from them and warn others!

Don't waste your money. I spent good amount of money with an expectation of something good. But disappoint to say, their services are disaster.

Before signing, sales person promised everything was possible. My request was to check payment ability prior to consent for services. I was told no problem: sign first. I was helping someone else post a job, but the catch was that it was an overseas card. If unable to process payment via that method, we couldn't continue the agreement. Salesperson (Esperanza Vergara) said she understood. Made me sign under promise that my request was understood. To my regret, I realized that once signed, there was no going back and I was held responsible. The salesperson denied all agreements, said that I had signed so I had to pay. Beware this was within the same week of the agreement. Their contract makes you renounce all your rights, and overrides Quebec s basic right to stop a contract within the time allowed by law. I was caught for a year with a service that deceived me from the start, and instead of providing customer service I was threatened; she said they would send a collection agency. Then she vanished and abandoned me to the accounts dept. Then the legal, collection etc etc. A lawyer called and disregarded all the lawful actions I undertook within the lawful time in my province and country. It been half a year and this nightmare continues. Do not sign a contract, so not buy long term services... You will waste your money and time - once the sale is done, the seller gets her commission and you are thrown into a hole. It s been such a stressful situation, it has affected me psychologically, my family and has had a negative impact in my studies and my life overall. Being threatened to be taken to court just for someone to make a commission - it is just not worth it-

There are several types of scams in this world, but the biggest is always will be scamming people of money. The Monster.com is very much pro in doing that

What's monster.com:
1. A job portal where an end user can upload his profile and apply for job and get calls from recruiters
2. A database access for recruiters and hiring companies so that they can filter out their specific candidates profiles and calls for interviews

These are two usually happens in every job portal
But there's number 3 & 4
3. Instead of giving database/our personal data access to hiring companies they SELL at high prices to banks, nbfc, brokers, real estate agents, freelancers, insurances, fake companies, spammers, fraudsters etc
4. They ask money for profile upgrade or highlighting the job seeker profile or resume building etc they charge money and stops responding to candidates calls & emails

Monster a spam website, majority of the job seekers don't pay attention to it.
If you upload your profile instead of getting calls from recruiters, you'll get calls from loans, credit cards, brokers, real estate, insurance etc. Few of them defraud of your money.

They clearly sell our data to other agencies,
I approached an employee on LinkedIn and asked and he confirmed it too that they sell data to anyone even if it's spam or brokers or real estate, they don't care they just need money

If you don't trust me take a new number upload it on the website as a jobseeker along with your resume, wait for 2 to 3 days you start getting fake calls, spam calls from banks, credit cards, personal loans, etc

I have experienced and tried deleting my profile, after one month of inactivity and uninstalling the app i still get calls and they say they got my number from monster.com

This is a data misuse, i don't know NAUKRI.com does this but this is not a safe place to upload your personal details
Forget about jobs. You won't even have mental peace, you might lose money and time for fake job calls and interviews

Ask their employees they'll tell the truth

Bull$#*!
Cheat the people to get their money without any benefits.
Pills of bubbles
Dissatisfaction
