Reviews for Monster Job Search

I don't like the way this app is set up. You can only view the job once if you swipe left and can't view it again. You swipe right and it automatically has you apply for the job. You can't save it for later to review. Once you've looked (swiped) thru all the job listings, it wants you to upload your resume and doesn't show you anything else. The jobs it was showing me kept repeating and skipped some.

I get emails everyday for jobs to look at - it's the same list nearly every time. Monster isn't smart enough to change it up, and of the 7 jobs it sends me, 6 of them are from the same company. Monster doesn't seem to know how to deal with multiple fields of work using the term 'technician' or 'engineer', so most jobs have nothing to do with my career field of IT. Monster is helping me the LEAST of all job apps.

downloaded the app just fine, created my login, verified email. now I'm trying to simply move forward to USE the app, but I can't get past the initial, "does this look right? check your basic info" screen to add my location. I fill it out, I click continue, it acts like it's about to go but instead deletes the info I entered and then a pop up at the bottom of my screen that says, "something went wrong"... uh, yeah... clearly...

It doesn't show me what I search for. Example: graphic design or print design is not the same as engineering or interior design. The use of the app is annoying. Swiping left or right on the same posts every time I get on. Also I'm not allowed to sort posts according to date. I prefer viewing a list than what you have now. I'm not even gonna start on the irrelevant emails.

Mediocre. I can't view my resume on the app. The waiting icon just circles and the words behind the waiting icon flash on and off. I then have to force the app closed. It also cycles the same jobs as I am looking at them. If I pass on a job, a minute or 2 later, the app flashes and I am looking at the same handful of jobs I already passed on. I have deleted and re-downloaded the app multiple times and this does not fix it. I don't seem to have these problems on the website....

I keep hearing that Monster is a great resource for job seekers but honestly, I'm disappointed by the app. I wish there were more filter options like for education requirements, minimum salary, full-time/part-time so I don't waste precious time combing through jobs that aren't even close to what I want. Also being able to save filtered searches and get notified for these searches would be great! Also I wish I could see the jobs in those searches that my resume matches. I just need more.

Simplest way to look for jobs. It could use some more variety in the jobs they present. Glitches a bit. Will cycle you through the same two jobs and not let you click on things. Closing the app and reopening hasn't helped. Only happens occasionally. Not a lot of jobs are listed in my area yet, but if more employers start using Monster and the bugs are worked out, it could change the future of job hunting.

Pretty disappointing from Monster. Like others have said, limited job search options- why do i have to put a city in? Or a state for that matter... Very limited results too. Seems like most are some kind of coding job or tax professionals. And the recommendations for my personal profile are the same types!! I have NO computer coding experience whatsoever!! And yet those are the jobs that they show me... Definitely need to improve some of these features and the results for sure...

I just reinstalled the Monster App after uninstalling it about a year ago. Gave it 4 stars instead of one. The look and feel of the app has come a long way. I like the swipe features, the bright colors and the pass, save and apply buttons as well as the layout. However, I wish I could attach a cover letter with my resume when applying for a position. I still have to explore more of the app's features. I also wish there were more Graphic Design/Artist and printing positions posted.

No jobs, just agencies and gives me mostly jobs that do not match my criteria. Monster used to be great about 10 years ago. These days, I keep getting "matches" to Sales, customer service and off jobs, whereas I have been searching for IT positions. Do they even have an algorithm? What's more, there are mostly, if not entirely postings from agencies, and not any actually jobs. The agencies, who seem more interested in your data, seem to post or keep unavailable positions posted. All in all it is bad. It is hard to find a job and it is made worse by the seemingly unethical practices if Monster and the job agencies.
