App never works properly
I have been trying to use this app for a few weeks now and have resolved to just using it as a place to go just directly apply to the website of the job they are suggesting for me. Every time I apply from here it gives me an error message and my profile keeps crashing. No wonder more people use Indeed and ZipRecruiter. At least they keep their software updated.
Never works
Every time I open the app to see if it’s a day that it’ll work, most of the time it doesn’t load anything or it has issues when trying to apply to a job.
horrible
Filtering for jobs doesn't actually show relevant roles; constant spam messages in inbox with no way to report or block these fake opportunities. Terrible app.
Not helpful
You get an email alert for jobs that you're searching for and when you tap them, it opens the app to find a blank page asking you to go search for a job pretty useless
Emails galore
too many emails
Nothing Works
Nothing I click on works. Tells me can’t load try again on everything. Can’t even pull up my profile. Don’t know what happened to Monster but you are pretty much worthless now, at least on my end.
TRASH
App doesn’t work anymore, lags, or doesn’t even load
App doesn’t work
App doesn’t work! Can’t apply to anything!
Broken.
Constantly updating every few hours for no real reason.Is this app that unstable?
Buggy and keeps asking for update
The update is buggy and when installed it asks you to update repeatedly
Tried deleting and reinstalling again but doesn’t work
Tried deleting and reinstalling again but doesn’t work
Garbage
Complete and utter misery.
Not secure
As soon as I completed my profile I started getting several scam emails regarding job opportunities! I do not trust this platform as the securities in place are so weak!l
Hate it
I can’t see anything
It won’t update
It won’t update
Extremely bad app
Complete failure and does not work. The app, not commenting on their job search. The app is broken severely.
There’s only 1 job
I’m into computer science and the only thing it sends after making my profile is something for army medic which is way out of my wheelhouse.
Cant change location
Worst app ever, worst recommendation, cant find anything relevant
Fix your app.
Profile isn’t accessible and can’t update my resume.
Expect people to waste your time on here
I made the mistake of adding my phone number now I got all of Pakistan calling my damn phone
No good
The filter sucks
App jitters & all support pages lack actual support
This app is ridiculously jittery on screen. While looking at jobs and when I scroll down it just jitters up and down and the screen won’t stay still.
Filter not working
I keep trying to show jobs in just my area. Selecting my zip, I continue to have rows and rows of jobs from across the country. Nothing for my area in the first 50+ jobs.
Terrible
The same jobs keep coming up as recommendations which do not even fit my qualifications. It seems like all the actively hiring jobs are from the same 4 or 5 staffing agencies. Lots of SCAMS & people who aren’t legitimate job posters sending me emails about jobs that are fraudulent. I even got an email directly from Monster telling me I’m contacting someone that is a scammer smh. I won’t be using this app again!
Don’t use this platform
I’ve received at least six calls today from recruiters with heavy Indian accents all offering me positions that are 1/3 to half of what I’m currently making. It was such a mistake, posting my résumé to this platform.
Useless search
It’s flooded with CDL and nursing jobs. It’s totally useless. You need to be able to block job posters.
Do not waste your time
There are no jobs on this app, just scams from other countries trying to get your bank info do not download this app
App is not functional
Some screens just load until it crashes. It continues to show me jobs in the midwest when I live 3k miles away. Every word I put in the search bar comes back with zero results. It’s like you have to select the highlight jobs or nothing else. I loved Careerbuilder years ago but this app isn’t functional.
Won’t let me login
There isn’t ever a login screen. When I go to the profile tab, it just errors out.
It’s literally not working
For some reason, every time that I try to search for something no matter how far the distance radius, and with no other criteria, it still says that there’s no jobs matching my criteria
Picked 3 - no results
Metro urban area. Searching as a guest - zero results.
Not working
App not working
Very poor
Can’t upload resume. , Constantly buffering even with five bars , can’t select area of jobs I want to see - only gives what it want even when they are in other states
Worthless
Great! That is, if your preferred career path decision-making method is to throw darts at a spinning wheel... Suggested jobs are NOWHERE CLOSE to related to my resume/skills/experience/education. Also great if you enjoy CareerBuilder’s version of “jobs”-insurance sales scams and MLMs...Totally worthless for a professional. Additionally, no common application tools to change email or password. Not even an option to “log out” of the app!
Glitches
The system does mot place you where you need to be FRUSTRATED!!!
Won’t load profile in iOS
It won’t pull my profile in the app I have to use my android or log into monster from a browser
Only got scammers
Not worth it
Frustrated
Indeed seems to be better
mattie332
This is the worst job app I have never got one message one not one message nothing from Monster and with my 19 years experience I should have gotten plenty this is such a waste of time and energy years ago it used to be good now today it's completely it should be off the Internet
Where is it?
You can’t even find anything on it
Location, accuracy poor
Not intuitive
Physical therapist
🤮
App not worth it anymore
This app is not worth it anymore. You can’t update profile, resumes, or look for jobs because of all that. You try and send a message to customer support and it gives you the “something went wrong”. Would not recommend this app for anyone anymore.
This app is TRASH
Not responsive or accurate. Sends notifications about nonexistent positions and is not user friendly at all. The developers have had years to refine this app and have not even tried, at least in my opinion, based on my experience with the app.
Can’t search JOBS
The app doesn’t allow me to look for jobs using the search criteria layout. It will say conduct a new search. I’ve even put the location only and the app still won’t populate any jobs. The app is broken!!!
Not a good job finder
Very bad at finding jobs that fit me
Nothing Is Populating
The app isn’t populating any new jobs , i’m unable to update my profile or modify my search i uninstalled then reinstalled and it’s still not working. Only got to use this app maybe twice before program wouldn’t pull anymore jobs to apply too.
Analysts
Profile doesn’t upload
After I created account
No jobs in jobs search
Doesn’t work!!!
Can’t get anything to load.
Terrible filters
Me: I’m looking for a part time job at least 13 per hour, and I can’t relocate
Monster: heres a job with 80 hours a weeks, pays 5 dollar a hour and is in a different state
