I am one who put reviews for good service as well, so I am not being in reasonable here but they could have done only better than what the do as a part of the customer service. Payment is big issue. Wish they had good employer payment portal and do it without interacting with customer service folks.

Spam callers!
September 29, 2022

I created a profile with my resume and contact information and have since received an incessant amount of spam calls/emails from Indian call centers. Avoid this website at all costs. Use a reputable job board like Indeed or LinkedIn instead.

Monster has one of the most comprehensive job search databases out there. Easy to drill down into areas of specialty, useful email alerts. I've used it a few times, getting my next employment through them.

As a recruiter, I've used Monster off and on for 20 years and they still act like they are the only game in town. They don't make any effort to remove duplicate resumes, perhaps because it's part of their business model: charging recruiters for resumes they've already viewed.

No trial period, they lock you in a contract and then threaten to sue you and ruin your credit because you want to cancel. Threats of litigation, intimidation and attempts to discourage you from filing complaints with any governing agency. They are NOT small business friendly, beware they will bleed you dry with their bogus contracts. They don't seem to realize business owners will speak out and tell one another. Its apparent why Monster.com is not utilized by other businesses or prospective hires. Lots of threats and intimidation, don't make the mistake we did. Cannot attach photos of our emails or they will advance the threats further to get me to remove this review.

My order ID is *******
I paid 6K for resume writing. After 13 days no update from Monster.
But status showing as completed. I escalated many times with Monster. No response only false promise.
Please think twice before buying a service package from Monster service team

Mr. Bell renewed my enthusiasm for dealing with Monster Travel. I had questions as to protocol
For tours which I have yet to receive and also for future booking co-ordinating with a documentary
I am making. He went beyond patience to explain and I am grateful. He advised me well so that I
Can make arrangements and understand what I am doing. Thank you. It was like an 'in person' dialogue
Which I so miss rather than the normal robot prompts, robot answering machines, and questions without answers. Thank you Mr. Bell!

What can I say about Monster Jobs. I have always had positive feedback. They contact me about current jobs they think I would be interested in. Help me update my resume. Get me in contact with recruiters. What more do you want from a job resourcing company. Very well done Monster Keep up the Good work.
