Monster.com is a very spammy site. I signed up to find jobs after COVID hit and I was laid off. Instead of helping with the job search, it instead sent me emails after emails after emails of not related jobs. I dunno how they are even surviving.

Stay away, Use other sites to find a job!

The executive Rekhadi told me the subscription is for a lifetime. After buying the subscription, I learned it is valid for six months. I tried to enquire, but she didn't respond to my mail and call. I have raised the ticket, but They didn't respond to me. Even I am not getting relevant jobs. Most of the emails I have received are from scammers. Even the monster doesn't care about filtering jobs posted by the scammers. I am not getting proper responses from monster executives.

I purchased their monthly service which provide me to post a position on the website, at week 3 I had 3 applicants. When I called and asked why this happened I was told that I had the wrong "title" like indeed, snag a job, never told me this or gave me excuses they produced numbers which is usually need to find a good candidate. So they charged me $410.00 for 3 applicants. STAY AWAY FROM MONSTER.COM

Express Resume Services gives you no value for your money. This services claims to send your CV to more than 1200 consultant across India bust does not provide you the list.It has been a month and I have received only 4 emails from consultants that they have received my CV from monster. Snd its not that I am a fresher or unemployable. I am a SAP certified consultant. So I was expecting a better responce than 4 emails.

You'll just get a bunch of phoney resumes that don't represent real people, plus you cant reach out to anyone. What a waste. I'd rather have an actual monster helping me.

Monster.com is doing scam with common people. They sell your resume data to fake recruiting consultancy. And then after you will start getting calls for jobs. They will convince to pay registration fee then they will arrange a fake interview & they will select you and they will offer you good salary. The salary could be in lakhs or 5x or 10x salary from what you are currently getting now. They will make you feel so good that you will stop thinking about scam. Now their business start they will ask money on the name of medical, police verification & many more. Slowly slowly you will lose your thousands of money. Then they will ask you to wait and the wait will never end. And one they all phones are switched off.

Happy Scam...

So don't trust anyone, always visit office of the consultancy then pay for any service.

Monster.com is fake scammer, don't give your personal data.

They chased me day and night for registration even on holidays and weekends, until I pay it. Once they got the payment they all vanished and just sending me drafted mails that they are working on it. It's been now one month and they said it's 6 mnths package. Whene ver I am asking my money back they are unresponsive. I hv all the evidence and proof if calls and payments made.

What once was - is no more.
September 16, 2016

This job site may have started it all when it came to job sites. It's not what it once was. It has become poisoned by advertisements and hidden avenues to spam-city. Do yourself a favor and avoid this site.

REASONS TO USE
[1] You don't understand star-rating systems.

REASONS TO LOSE
[1] Propagates your personal data in an unpredictable way opening the door for spam
[2] Saturated with bridges to other sites
[3] There are better options
