Monster Job Search for Negative User Reviews
✓ Terrible AppDo you want us to get our identities stolen? Geez to use this app you are required to put in your name, education, and current job. Then to search for some reason it can’t use all that information in requires your resume too. I was already displeased that after I entered that information on the website I found out I couldn’t set my profile private or tell if it was already private but I could switch my name to initials. But at least I didn’t have to upload a resume to search. And the profile shows our email and since I can’t tell if this is public or not I don’t know how many people have all that info and my email. I will not also give you my resume and all the information on that for scammers to use. And I highly recommend you add what other sites have toggles to set the profile and resume to private. There are a lot of scammers and identify thieves in this day and age and to be required to give all that information to use one of the most well know job sites is just too high of a price. Not to mention if someone was exploring new job options while at their current job and didn’t want their employer to know. The privacy is important in that respect as well..Version: 6.7.0
✓ Used to be OKThe swipe left/ right setup is stupid for a job searching app. Much better before the update. Will not be using unless it changes back..Version: 5.3.1
✓ Poorly designed appThis is a job search, not a date search. The ability to search jobs by type has been removed, the results coming back are not relevant to the title searched (not quite sure how a personal trainer is related to a project Manager?!) and when I submitted feedback, I got an auto response saying “thanks, we’re glad you love our app”!! I now have to log on to an actual laptop to use the desktop site, which removes any convenience of having an app. Very disappointing..Version: 5.6.1
✓ HorribleI normally do not leave a review on apps . But I must say that Monster jobs is the worst app I ever used for job searches . I decided to sign up using my Apple I.D. I posted my resume . My phone number was also posted on the site without my knowledge. I’ve been receiving scam and spam calls , emails , and text messages non stop from people claiming to be recruiters from jobs . Even from some out of state and out of the country. Most of them sound like Indians . I notified monster jobs customer service about the issue . They claimed I didn’t have an account under my iCloud email address. I explained to the representative that I signed up using my Apple I.D since I saw that as an option. All the phone calls , emails , and text messages from these fake recruiters have took a toll on me mentally. I deleted my profile on Monster jobs . I regret creating a account on Monster Jobs . Do yourself a favor and use Indeed for your job searches..Version: 14.0.1
✓ You get 1 star because you asked for a 5 star review.I was asked, by the monster app, to give it a 5 star review. Here’s your 5 star review, minus 4 stars. When I ask why there’s no grid or list style, and I’m told that it’s: “I am really sorry but right now when you swipe right we submit your resume that you have on Monster directly and we can not unapply. If you did not have your resume on file before, we submit your formatted profile in a PDF form.” And when I reply how terrible the swiping is and I get a reply of: “No problem! It'd be amazing if you could leave us a 5 star rating in the app store for good job karma :). Just tap this link and leave us 5 stars! jobr://rate” That’s not just terrible, it’s purely pathetic. First off, I don’t use dating apps. So reading reviews on here that call this app the Tinder of job apps...well it doesn’t make me happy. It means that you saw something that made others successful and you’re trying to copy it. Be Unique. Deleting the app and sticking with the website. I may do as others have and use a different job search company altogether. A shame, since Monster has been around (seemingly) forever. Secondly, stop trying to be trendy. You have a LOT of people using your services who don’t care about how trendy something is. I’m one of them. Trendy is stupid. Tried and true is fantastic..Version: 6.3.1
✓ Really badThe search is terrible - it’s basically searches for jobs with ANY of your keywords. So, for example, searching for “social media manager” will return - social workers - media relations officers - store managers etc. Really not helpful. And the swiping - oh jeez the swiping... it’s ok if you’re working through a small list. But because of the hundreds of irrelevant results you get, the swiping is a nightmare. There are far better apps available, avoid this one. *UPDATE Oh and I forgot to mention - when looking at a job the top third of the screen is taken up with an irrelevant picture and the actual job title (you know, the thing that will actually help you decide if you’re interested or not) is really small. Why have such a huge unnecessary image? No-one needs images on job ads! Make the job title much begged so I can see if the job is relevant without having to squint!.Version: 6.0.0
✓ Holy spam callsI am blasted with about 50 or more spam calls a day now. Not one professional company has called me. This app has given me the biggest headache and I actually have to change my number because I have people from Scotland calling me. People from everywhere but America calling me. When I block them or ask them to not call, they found a way to use a local number to call. They are responding to ads from here. They will even say they are responding to my resume but they also have college grants for me. Then the same number calls back saying I owe on student loans and I have to pay them now or I’m going to jail. All not from America but with local numbers. I’ll block that number or say it’s not me. So they change a number or 2 and call back. Your app is a disaster and has caused me more grief than it has helped. Thank a whole lot. I guess this is what they call professional now..Version: 6.1.1
✓ Bad user experienceBad user experience. Tried to make a cooool software but useless..Version: 5.3.1
✓ Deleted the app, and my accountI do not understand why Monster decided to emulate Tinder. It can be great for meeting people but not for finding a job. With the refresh, they apparently decided filters aren't helpful. Instead you can search by keywords that may or may not pull up relevant jobs. Along with many other reviewers here, I was also contacted by less than reputable people with one actually telling me I was scheduled an interview when I had not made any contact with them expressing interest in a job. I've given up on Monster and will instead search on my own. And before you copy and paste your response Monster, I will not be checking back for any updates..Version: 6.4.2
✓ It looked promising, but felt like a waste of timeI liked the idea of the Tinder-style swiping, but in this case it was TOO easy to apply for jobs. I had been applying for jobs via email for months with not much to show for it, and then less than 24 hours after I download Monster I’m getting multiple interview invitations, sometimes just hours after I apply (which feels pretty shady). Maybe it’s the lack of relevant employers using it, but no matter how many different keywords I used I’d keep getting the same jobs from the same companies, the majority of which were just entry-level marketing jobs. It has potential, but you’re better off putting your efforts into other resources..Version: 6.6.0
✓ Not GoodSorry, but this app needs lots of improvement. I downloaded it thinking it was going to be like LinkedIn and be helpful. But it just opens you up to constantly being contacted by recruiters who want to fill a job that most of the time doesn’t even fit what you say you’re looking for. This lady called me 3 times one day wanting to talk to me about a job that wasn’t even close to what I’m looking for. It’s like recruiters literally don’t even take 5 seconds to scan your profile and see what you’re looking for before reaching out. They even text you, and a lot of the time the texts have grammatical errors. They leave voicemails that you can’t even understand. This makes you wonder if they are trying to scam you, because no professional would leave texts and voicemails like that. Don’t waste your time with this app, unless you want to hear about crappy job opportunities you don’t even want, or possibly even scams..Version: 11.2.0
✓ This app is horrible!!!The only job filters available are for when the job was posted and distance. Why don’t you have the ability to only see full time, filter the shift times, pay rates, etc. I have the distance set to within 10 miles of me but it’s showing jobs in Puerto Rico & Canada instead of in Massachusetts….It’s literally showing jobs that are THOUSANDS of miles away from me. Also, an alarming number of jobs listed give absolutely no information about pay, benefits or actual location, for location a surprising number of listings will say a street name and the state AND THAT’S IT, the job could be in your town or across the state and there’s no way of knowing which it is..Version: 14.3.0
✓ App sucksThe website is fine but the app has a lot of flaws. Information you enter doesn’t appear correctly or the same as it does on the desktop website..Version: 10.0.0
✓ It’s a messJob descriptions are just blocks of text without any defined paragraphs or structures, which makes it difficult to read. The “discover” section just keeps bringing the same irrelevant postings over and over again even though I already passed on them, because they don’t match my profile whatsoever..Version: 7.9.0
✓ GlitchThe essence of this app is magnificent as it makes job searching so much easier. My first time using it today, I replaced my CV and applied for my desired job. I received an email to confirm my application, to my disappointment, my old CV file is the file that was sent off. I know for a fact those two jobs I applied for are not going to consider me because the app seems to glitch when the Cv is replaced. I also tried refreshing and replacing the CV again, on the third refresh, it goes back to my old CV and can’t seem to fix itself. I suppose it is a glitch in the system, please check it out. Otherwise such a smooth idea for job searching..Version: 7.9.0
✓ OK but missing featuresWhen it comes to CV uploads the only options it gives are online storage such as OneDrive or Google drive and few others. Not a single option to upload CV or documents from local apps or local storage. I am kinda disappointed because I do not use online storage and have stuff within my phone that I am unable to upload..Version: 6.1.1
✓ Google account not workingThe app is forcing me to create a new profile when I login with my Google Id although I already have this Id setup with monster.ca for years. This is basic stuff not working here. Someone need to fix this ASAP.Version: 8.2.0
✓ Search algorithm needs fixingTried to search for local jobs and entered location city for search. The resulting search list started with jobs that were an hour away. It wasn’t until about the 20th or so job that there was a local listing. That job should have been first on list as it was the search I was doing. Very poorly implemented. Will have to go back to using other search apps..Version: 11.2.0
✓ International jobs can’t be ignoredThe app does not allow me to designate Canadian jobs only. There is a page for it, but it can’t be updated and there is no field in the profile page to limit the jobs to one country. The troubleshooting page does not have a fix, but advises to send an email. The response from Monster to my email was that they were busy and would get back to me, but in the mean time check out the troubleshooting page for more info. Monster has not responded and I still only get international job listings. Not very helpful..Version: 8.1.0
✓ Pretty lameThe search function is horrible..Version: 15.3.1
✓ Can’t even use itKeeps saying I need to put in a valid location after putting in my address.Version: 14.4.0
✓ FunctionalityOn an iPhone 12 mini, under larger text settings, the X button to close a listing is difficult/impossible to press is it's in the area dedicated to hh:mm time..Version: 16.8.0
✓ AvoidWhen did searching for a job become like a dating app - swipe left/right/up/down? First things first, the app cuts off a lot of the job description, that it makes it difficult to understand - compare the app vs web browser for detailed postings. Secondly, the app keeps recycling irrelevant roles that you have already dismissed - if I have passed on it, stop showing it to me. Third, the app contains the same job posted by different parties - read the descriptions and you’ll see. Fourth, the scavengers (fake “recruiters”) disrespect your contact preferences and contact you on every medium you’ve provided - this is terrible and obviously data mining looking for anybody to fill their role. Overall, avoid this app because of the above and go with LinkedIn’s job search is a much better tool and an all-in-one solution..Version: 6.9.2
✓ It’s a very useless appSo I write graphic design and my location and for some stupid reason the app can’t find any jobs as specified Day after day the app doesn’t do what it’s suppose to. Why having a job app when he can’t find any jobs to begin with??? The app needs serious work from whoever company made it. In all honest the app seems to have the IQ of a toddler..Version: 7.1.0
✓ Tinder for jobs? That’s your idea?On most job lists you are able to scroll past the bunch of jobs that you aren’t interested in, but now I have to individually swipe past them - giant waste of time. Being blinded from the other listings because you guys want to be hip and make it like tinder really sucks. I’m sure there are jobs that are better suited to my needs, but I don’t have to spend 40 minutes swiping to find them on indeed. I have no idea who would enjoy this user experience..Version: 6.9.2
✓ RubbishThe key requirement of an app for job searches is that it throws up relevant postings. Despite giving a specific request for a job title, salary and location all that seems to be offered are highly specialized IT / Java development jobs. I’ve changed the search criteria multiple times but it doesn’t help. LinkedIn or Indeed are far more user friendly and provide much better feedback matches. Its a shame as the app is nice and clean, and simple to use..Version: 6.7.0
✓ Don’t loginLogin doesn’t work using google account.Version: 14.1.0
✓ MehTried searching for a job, it brought up stuff that had nothing to do with my search, also had to look hard for something in the city I searched for, most everything was for jobs in other provinces or countries. Not sure what’s wrong with these search engines but they need work☹️.Version: 14.4.0
✓ Finding a Date, not a CareerNot sure where to begin besides that I rarely ever rate apps. But this one is very different. What happened to the old Monster? Did you turn into Tinder? To begin, the sync between the website and what you have in the app are completely off. I have to enter my info twice which is highly inconvenient. Second. I do NOT want to do a full and complete keyword search when you could easily introduce filters. Have I mentioned how wonderful filters are? Let me filter by location (which by the way if I do filter by location and limit to 10 miles or so, I get other states, which I do not understand). If I search for a specific title, I am told that this job is not available. Yet when I look for said title on Indeed or LinkedIN, it appears with HUNDREDS of results, not none. I’m not too sure who programs the app and the website, but they may want to think about working better as a team! I receive more hits on my resume here than anywhere else, which is why I keep Monster. But if it wasn’t for that, I would never touch this app again. Please get back to the way you used to be Monster. The old Monster always had the perfect results and filters. None of the “Tinder” like ideas. It just ruins the juju of finding the perfect job. Instead it feels like I am trying to find the perfect date....I hope in the future that Monster turns this around..Version: 6.1.2
✓ How have Monster created such CR-APp?!!User interface is so simplified you cannot specify between Permanent or Interim roles, which industry, which specialisms, etc - you can only filter £ and location. You end up with a Tinder style swipe left or right interface - but after swiping left on twenty jobs that have no relevance to my search I have decided to write this review then delete the app. The app developer has obviously never looked at another job site app and what users actually want..Version: 6.3.1
✓ OffreOffre pas compatible.Version: 16.6.0
✓ Swipe Function missing an optionAs with almost all job apps the new swipe feature has one important option missing which is to ignore the job advert not because I want to dismiss it completely but I also don’t want to apply for it either. It seems that this new version doesn’t allow me to browse jobs without dismissing them completely or actually applying for them. Any software tool that forces choices or limits options is bad design and this is first grade development lesson and it appears that who ever created this swipe feature didn’t put any thought into the end user experience. I want to give this zero but the lowest option is 1 star so be aware this is too high for this app. Disappointing changes made to a simple app that doesn’t need complicating..Version: 6.6.0
✓ Pretty terrible appMonster is great on a desktop but the app itself is pretty bad, poor options being able to search ie part time or weekends and even the ones I have applied for I don’t think actually worked! No matter what you type in the search bar Dosent seem to pick up what you actually want! Compared to other jobs apps where is great once you upload ur cv this is miles behind!.Version: 6.0.0
✓ Why is job searching like Tinder?As I’m sure other reviews have mentioned, you search for a job and you have to go through one job at a time, either permanently erasing that job from your options or immediately applying to it, before you can see the next job that they think you are looking for. Not only is it inefficient, but they did not have many of the available postings for my career that GlassDoor and Indeed both had, and it kept redirecting me to jobs in accounting (which seems similar to my field but really isn’t). Furthermore, I would get calls from recruiters saying that they wanted to speak to me in person about a job before they even disclosed what the job is. All of the jobs where recruiter contacted me had nothing to do with my field. The actual interface looks very nice, but it’s not worth your time to see it..Version: 7.5.0
✓ Not reals jobs listedOther job search engines posts jobs on this app and they are just recruiting to redirect them to their website. I followed one from website to the next to the next without ever getting to the job. It’s like a never ending rabbit hole. Temp agencies also posting for jobs that are not even hiring. They seem to be looking for more clients. Years ago they had jobs listed on this app that were real jobs in your area and you could edit your preferences on location or type of job. Those buttons are still there but seem to no longer apply. I get notifications in fields of work I’m not quailed in. I have a resume up and set up my preferences. Indeed is starting to slowly do the same thing. Deleting the useless app.Version: 5.6.1
✓ Awful AppThis has to be the worst place for looking for jobs. First and foremost I am in the UK not the USA so why does it constantly change my location to the USA? Secondly it is extremely poor when refining my job searches. I’m looking for FLT jobs and it gives me a load of HGV jobs too. I’m not a HGV driver so when I choose a particular job I expect it to refine it to what I’m looking for. It’s extremely poor and not very well set out. Needs a lot of work doing to this app other than making it look pretty..Version: 6.6.1
✓ Useless new app, bring back the old one!This new Monster app is terrible! The search function makes it very difficult to just see a list of all jobs in your area, your lucky to get three or four results when I know for a fact more jobs have been posted when looking on the old app. There also doesn't seem to be a way to get back to jobs you've previously swiped left on but there's also no way to see the next job in the list without making a decision, apply for it or delete it forever. What if you change your mind or want to think about it?.Version: 5.3.1
✓ Mobile App.I have used Monster several times over my career to hire employees, it has always been one of the best resources I've used. I have referred Monster to several neighbors in our subdivision who have been transplanted to Texas due to their spouse taking a position with L3, Space X, and uother Corporations. I have to say I am so disappointed with Monster's Mobile App. it will not allow me to upload my profile picture or make any changes to the information that I had created on the original site. After searching over an hour in every aspect of the App. to solve this issue, the final suggestion that was listed was; "Delete Account?" I am hoping that the "BUGS" in this App. are getting resolved-ASAP!! Or I will be deleting it from my phone..Version: 6.0.0
✓ User interface needs replacingAs other users have said, the only options are either to swipe left (which passes the job and never allows you to view it again) or swipe right (and auto apply with whatever CV you have loaded onto the app. The idea of swiping is cute, it’s obvious you guys modelled it after Tinder, but it’s terrible for someone trying to apply to jobs. Most people will want to create a shortlist and then adapt the CV for each employer and job position. There is no option to do this in the app. There’s literally no reason to use the app unless you want to just spam people with your CV. This interface really needs to be changed, this app is for people applying for jobs not finding dates..Version: 6.5.0
✓ Useless filterI actually quite like the swiping feature, but being on a job hunt at the moment, I would like to be able to filter on jobs that are relevant to me. I know for a fact there are loads of admin based jobs on there, but if I search ‘administrator’ there are no results! I can only see them if I left-swipe through engineers, FLT drivers and the like. Also looking for part-time is pointless. Nice idea Monster, but definitely needs work. Deleting the app for the time being, I’ll spend my time on Indeed until you’re sorted 👍.Version: 6.0.0
✓ Bad customer service/appI downloaded Monster about three weeks ago and I made a account. When I made the account, everything went well until it didn’t let me sign in. When I would try to sign in through the app, it told me “get profile: http read on closed response body” so then I searched it online to see what it meant. I didn’t find anything for about a good 10 minutes. Now I try to sign in through Safari, It finally let me log in but now it only said “We're sorry, but the information you are trying to access has expired. Please Visit the forgot password page and have a new password link sent to you. Remember, the link we send you will only be valid for a short time.” This made NO SENSE because I had already logged in. So again, I went on safari to try and figure out what that meant... I didn’t find anything once again. In that time trying to find help on safari, I didn’t get an email what so ever like how they said I was. Now I’m writing an email to their customer service and I told them everything, the email was sent on that same day and till this day, I still have no response. I still don’t have the other email I was suppose to be expecting. It was a waste of my time!.Version: 6.7.0
✓ Really bad cannot use!I downloaded this app thinking it would be more convenient and easier to apply for jobs which turns out to be the opposite. It has a swipe feature I hate! Also I’m looking for part time work it brings up full time every time and even if I search a specific job e.g receptionist it brings up multiple other jobs. Waste of time will be deleting I don’t recommend..Version: 6.1.2
✓ InvasiveStill uses my location despite it being deleted.Version: 15.3.2
✓ Don’t recommendUseless. constantly recommends jobs no where near me. have had multiple “recommendations” for jobs out of country. doesn’t seem worth the time. try indeed. or honestly anything. hell checking your news paper would be more effective..Version: 12.0.0
✓ Quality jobsNot very good quality of job selection. Reposts from other sites and sometimes links are broken..Version: 15.1.0
✓ Unread MessagesI’m constantly getting emails telling me I have unread messages from interested parties that use Monster, but I can’t check them through the app?.Version: 6.8.1
✓ Inneficient app.Filters dont work correctly. Poor result compare to other job search engine..Version: 5.3.1
✓ Can’t really rely on this appSo I haven’t had this app for a long time yet, but I don’t really seem to trust this app much. I feel like scammers can easily hire people on this app because I recently got an offer from this one guy that wants me to post 30ads per week on Craigslist for $400per week and I’ve searched about Craigslist scammers and they pretty much described him. Every single thing what scammers do for that type of job is exactly what he did so I completely ignored it after. This app doesn’t really give you many options to apply too I think there is way more full time that part time and I’m looking for part time at this Moment. If you were to search up any common place you will always be out of luck most places are hiring are hardly common and wouldn’t even know what they really do. So it can either be made up or just a scam or just really not a common place to know. I did get a call once so you can get lucky slightly. I hope this helps and makes up your mind..Version: 6.0.0
✓ It’s basically tinder with less featuresAs a job search app, this is horrible. Swipe to apply to or decline a job. Once you decline you’re not allowed to apply later, being a swipe interface it’s easy to accidentally dismiss something and if it’s a job you wanted, then you’re out of luck. And the absolute biggest, by far MOST IMPORTANT part of a job search is communication. The app doesn’t have a dedicated page for messages. I keep getting emails about messages in my monster jobs account but the website will not load the message center and the app doesn’t even give you access to your own messages. I’m assuming the 5 star reviews were all submitted by monster employees. There is no way anybody actually searching for a job thinks this app is functional..Version: 7.9.0
✓ FairThis could be better had the help service been actively engaging me when I asked. I had to repeatedly ask for help before I got a response. My question was about expanding my search for employment. The response I got was "did you do a search?" If I'm asking how to expand the search don't you think I know how to do the search. I understand there are people still that are still acclimating to technology but you can't just assume. That or actually read what is being requested BEFORE you speak. Now for my technical issue, Monster you need to have options to search for employment in multiple geographic locations or able to search in a broader area..Version: 6.4.2
✓ Disappointing on all levelsNormally, I do not take the time to write a review on apps. However, given the fact that Monster continues to market itself as the leading website for job seekers and recruiters alike, hopefully this feedback will be helpful to both of those demographics. From a job seeker perspective- stick with Indeed or LinkedIn. Monster’s search results rarely match up with the key words submitted. It is set up similar to a dating app of ‘swiping left/swiping right’. When you swipe to dismiss a position, it ‘permanently’ removes it. According to the warning when swiping, ‘you will not be able to go back and apply for a dismissed job later’. Since the recommendations were never for positions similar to my uploaded resume and completed profile, swiping away those ‘recommendations’ was an easy choice. Additionally, be prepared that if you upload a resume and complete a profile, you will be instantly bombarded from insurance companies recruiting for sales people and franchise opportunities. If those are the fields you are looking for, Monster is the app for you. Everyone else, it may be wise to devote your time on other platforms which more closely align with your career field. I kept my profile active and approached this app with an open mind. While it does have ease of use; the search feature, recommendations and sharing of profile information to ‘recruiting’ activities completely unrelated to your information earns it a 1 star and written review..Version: 7.0.3
✓ Push notificationsCan’t get past this part. Can’t click not now or ok. App will not go any further. Useless!.Version: 6.9.0
✓ OkIt’s very frustrating that the job notifications aren’t new postings. Twice I’ve been really excited by a post only to click on it to find the position had been filled and the job ad already removed..Version: 13.0.0
✓ Wasting my time… not coolIt’s the equivalent to finding a Lexus on craigslist for $100 then you call the dealer and he says no it’s 56,000 and you have to have $10,000 down. This app send you an email saying this job would be great for your job qualifications and experience then you click apply spend 10 minutes entering your info only to find out you don’t even have a chance to complete the application because sorry you did not indicate you had experience selling SAAAS software or some other dumb thing you could learn about in five seconds. Here’s my constructive feedback make the app able to still apply because maybe you have the right kind of sales experience in a different career that could be useful to this company but they will never know because they were not able to get my application either..Version: 14.0.1
✓ App is ok but man the spamI tapped on this mainly to give a review of monster. I was actively seeking employment and decided to go on as many job boards as I can to look for employment. What I did not expect was the bevy of random phone calls from companies all over the country trying to hire me for this that and the other thing even outside of a 30 mile radius which I specifically put in mine. They clearly are not from the area I was looking for employment in so we’re just making phone calls and then also asking me to help them find people and forward resumes to them. I do not appreciate my information all over the place like that so monster needs to buckle down on their privacy for job seekers.Version: 5.5.0
✓ Bad appInitially the swiping seems cool but it’s not it’s slow and tedious and the feed seem inaccurate and no job titles display for what I input. Bad own goal monster. You used to be one of the good ones. Improve this app. Deleting from here on. Even the review section does work properly. Asks for a nick name which I enter and then goes bad to the review and the send button which does nothing. Have I now submitted 3 times or not at all. Pfff....Version: 6.1.0
✓ Truly a MonsterNot sure where to start with this app. You create a profile and you put down you’re work history and you specify what type of job role your looking for and the amount of calls and e-mails I get have nothing to do with what I posted. It’s like what’s the point if no one’s gonna read it? The search engine doesn’t let you specify the types of jobs your looking for or the amount you wish to receive. I mean even on indeed you can do that but Monster won’t let you? I’ve received so many phone calls from jobs that I’m not even interested in and I can’t even filter that out to only get calls for jobs I’m actually looking for. I’m either getting a voicemail from someone I can’t understand or an email from job that I didn’t even list in my profile. At this point it’s just cold calling you to get your data I mean what’s the point of all this. At this point I’m giving it another week and if I don’t see any resolution to this I’m just gonna delete my account and stick with indeed cause this is just a joke. I don’t have time to be screwing around with jobs that are paying you less then what your worth that you put on your profile. Hoping I’m not the only one who feels like this to but anyone who might read this and is serious about finding a great career path this ain’t it. Pretty sad if you ask me..Version: 14.0.0
✓ This is an off-brand Tinder with none of the “success”First, this isn’t Tinder. The swiping in and of itself isn’t bad, but the “disappear forever” is nonsense, not to mention you’re showing me jobs that have nothing to do with my keywords or qualifications. Stop showing me the “hottest” and start showing me the most relevant. Second and most annoying, you send me emails that I have messages from potential employers, yet when I log into the app, there’s no messages/inbox button (and if there is, it’s not easily found). Third, the website is better than the app. Make them match as far as interfacing and usability. I shouldn’t have to go back and forth depending on what I need to do. If I could give zero stars, I would. This is why I stick with other job sites and rarely ever come to Monster anymore..Version: 7.9.0
✓ Completely uselessAll my kid recommendations where ether in the wrong field or wrong country 😡.Version: 12.0.0
✓ Monster job searchDoes not work. I put in my job search followed by area, it came up with no results. I then changed my description of my job search, it still came up with nothing. I then just put in my area with no job description, it couldn’t find a single job. Clearly their is something wrong with the app. I have noticed many negative reviews with responses from support apologising, but have clearly not addressed the issues. Needs sorting out, not using for now, plenty of other job sites out there..Version: 6.7.0
✓ Hate the swipeI genuinely hate the look and feel of this app. Who suggested swipe? Why can’t I have a list of jobs that I can scroll through - that’s so much quicker and easier. The look and feel of Monster has been awful for many years now. I’m searching for a job - I don’t need bells and whistles. Oh and a priority update is to include a search on job title. This is long overdue on all job search sites..Version: 6.4.2
✓ This is horribleUpon opening the app the first time, you require a full profile to be filled out before you can do anything else. Sorry, no. But I played alone anyway, entering as little as I could to satisfy the requirements just so I could see what jobs came up. When taken to the “results”, to my surprise, it’s not a list but a Tinder-swipe interface. Then I found out once you swipe off—you know, to evaluate the other listings—you’ll never be able to see the listing again unless you save it? I don’t want a long save list just so I can glance at a listing again to see where it ranks in my preferred job search. Searching leaves a lot to be desired. My family is relocating, so I want to be able to just bring up a list of all available jobs, then be able to use a set of good filters to sort the results for each person. This doesn’t allow for a general area search, requiring a keyword search. This is ridiculous—but then again, Monster’s filters on your web listings are also trash, so I shouldn’t be surprised. Conclusion—It’s worthless, much like the website. Uninstall, cancel account..Version: 6.9.2
✓ Irrelevant searchesI am Canadian, I’ve indicated in my preferences that I can only work in Canada, yet 75% of jobs I’m shown are in Michigan..Version: 15.2.0
✓ Worst app ever, not worth itThis app needs way better options to filter down to what you’re looking for! No option to pick an area of the city you only want to see jobs in, can’t sort by newest to oldest, can’t use the suggested “popular now” option because you get all of Canada jobs showing up… it’s useless I might as well go back to Indeed! Deleted the app!.Version: 11.2.0
✓ Searching for jobs like searching for datesI really liked the cleanliness of the app, and the display of jobs as cards. I found a lot of these adds irrelevant for me, so I was enjoying the swiping to remove them from my screen. A few days later I received several rejection emails, surprised as I had no idea what they were since I wasn’t applying for anything. I then noticed that swiping to remove the ads on a the Monster app, in fact auto applied. Which yes, it makes it easy to apply for jobs, but also encourages mass applications. Perhaps a required tutorial is essential when launching the app, since I didn’t know swiping in different directions results in different things (save ad, apply, do not show again). I recommend that anyone who is more used to the website to use the list view, and avoid using the card view unless you want a more innovative way of job searching. However, it’s nothing so impressive and in fact it doesn’t allow people to spend time on making their CV and cover letters specific for the job. Now that’s okay if you want to apply to several posts, but for me, I still think quality is much better than quantity. Only my thoughts. Best of fortune to everyone..Version: 8.1.0
✓ RidiculousPassing means you don’t see it again??? So you literally have to instantly make your mind up on whether this job might be for you before you can see the others. And swiping to apply ACTUALLY applies you for the job immediately? 5 minutes in you’ve applied for 30 jobs, 29 of which you only swiping apply for because you didn’t want to pass them never to see them again!.Version: 6.5.1
✓ FrustratingNothing but irrelevant search results and matches. No way to filter them out despite the profile details. No way to stop email notifications that certain employers hiring. Over and over the same employer is hiring..Version: 15.5.0
✓ Absolutely terribleThis app is ridiculously frustrating. No way of filtering the type of job you’re looking for? I don’t want to have to see every possible full time job when what I want is part time. The search radius slider is infuriating as it’s so sensitive it’s next to impossible to be precise. That’s not even to mention the pointless swiping system. What employer wants hundreds of applications from people with no interest in that job? Imagine sifting through all the accidental swipes when trying to find a candidate. I’m surprised there are many businesses left advertising on here. I am baffled what was going through the minds of whoever developed this app and why someone, anyone at Monster didn’t point out how little useful functionality this app actually has..Version: 6.4.2
✓ Disappointed is an understatementThe app is so basic, filter is rubbish, you apply filter and you get jobs completely not related to what you are looking for and way beyond your chosen location (like 30 miles further away). Also what winds me up is that you can not set up your max salary requirement so you end up manually filtering out jobs that way beyond your reach. What a waste of time!.Version: 6.0.0
✓ App and website are not connected at allI’d give this app 0 stars if I could. I can use my google account to sign in on the website. I’ve had this account for years. When I try to do the same thing with the monster app, it forces me to create a new profile... with the same google account I’ve already got a large profile with. Why can’t I sign in to the monster app with the same amount that I can sign in to the website with?.Version: 8.1.0
✓ This is not tinder this is my career...Absolutely HATE the new layout. Previously I have only used monster for job searching as it was simple and easily accessible. Now it’s a joke, I can’t take it seriously & even worse, it constantly pulls up jobs that are so far away from what I’m looking for it’s actually pointless to use this app. Say you’re looking for engineer work, it’ll pop up about 400 reception and admin roles for every 1 engineer related role. Not a happy user!!!.Version: 6.6.0
✓ AWFUL!Tried using this for about 5 minutes and once I’m done with this review I’m deleting it from my phone. As the other reviewer said...I’m looking for a job, not a date. The swiping on this is annoying and just dumb. The bigger issue though...I live in Western NY and set the radius at 30mi yet it is pulling 90% of the jobs from the Bronx and New York City area. Sorry, I’m not interested in a 6hr commute each way! Waste of time and a HUGE disappointment coming from a reputable job search site like Monster. Whomever came up with this should be fired...then you can give me their job. I’m looking and I’m not some foolish wannabe overachiever 20 something or in my 50s(+) pretending I know the best way to relate to 20 something’s. And by the way...everything doesn’t have to be catered to the kids looking for their first job! Us *adults* don’t need to “swipe” and it would be nice to be acknowledged and shown some respect!.Version: 6.4.2
✓ Alerts not connectingWhen you set up job alert and want to apply - the email you get does not connect with their app. Seriously? When you click apply for a specific job in the email, it opens one of your smartphone browsers and asks you to sign-in or set up an account. It should open the position in the app so you can apply NOT in the browser..Version: 7.0.2
✓ Worst. Job Search. App. EVER!This dumbed down app has pathetic features! Almost every other job search app is better! Even my local newspaper app has better functionality! What happened to being an industry leader, Monster? You’re a FAR cry from that with this app. I diligently filled out my profile with my location, experience, and education. I’m in Utah, with 20+ years of administrative and office management experience, but no degree. In the worst “job search” section in the industry, the recommendations I received include: Biomechanical Engineer in Florida, Physical Therapist in Colorado, Bus Driver in Ohio, Lawyer in New York, etc. And let’s not forget the Lyft, Uber, RN, MLM, and spam listings. If I want to enter my own search parameters, I can choose keyword, location, OR industry. Where are the options for part or full time, level, distance from home, etc.? Where are the filters?!? I can either look for admin jobs OR jobs near me (most still aren’t even close) OR industry and then wade through screen after screen after screen of completely irrelevant options! Also, I can only choose from the industries Monster sees fit to show me. No option for a career change with this app! If I do manage to find a relevant job, it will usually require a degree or be out of state. And WHY is my current job listed LAST? If it was first, my profile title would be accurate and more appealing to potential hiring managers..Version: 11.2.0
✓ FRUSTRATING and unreliableIm a videographer and started using this a few weeks ago. The job search they do for you or at least for me, has nothing to do with my profession. I shouldn’t be getting search results for structural engineers, or painters that for one, aren’t even in my city. No matter how many times I fix my search/filters for San Diego it always gives me jobs outside of the state, jobs that don’t even use the same key words as my search filters. I get it if there aren’t many or any jobs on here which makes sense with everything I said above. But don’t give me jobs that aren’t even remotely close to me or relevant to my job. If you are in the same line of work try something else. Freelancer is more reliable than this. If I could give less stars I would..Version: 14.2.0
✓ No jobs available, generic responses from the help messenger.Monster does not have the jobs available that Indeed and ZipRecruiter have. I haven’t applied to any jobs on your site because you have none available for administrative Assistant (using those words, key words or synonyms for those words)in a 25mile radius. I made inquiry via Monster messenger for help, thinking i did something wrong, and was given a generic reply(see below) on HOW to search for a job. Then another generic reply as to why i haven’t had any job offers... which was never an issue as i hadn’t found one to apply to yet. I said as much and was given the best generic reply yet These are the replies : “Hey Shauna! Here are 3 pro tips to get interviews: 1. Upload a resume! (Tap on jobr://import) 2. Change your location & radius in filters 3. Use search at the top to specify (Top of Feed)” “Hey Shauna, did you know on average a person hears back from 1 out of 20 job applications? I see you have not applied to 20 jobs yet and the job hunting process is a numbers game! Keep on applying!” “No problem! It'd be amazing if you could leave us a 5 star rating in the app store for good job karma :). Just tap this link and leave us 5 stars! jobr://rate” I mean seriously? The jobs ARE AVAILABLE in my area because I have applied to at least 20 on the other sites. So I do not recommend this app for anything..Version: 5.6.1
✓ This isn’t it.Looking for an app to help find a job in your field? Well, this is NOT it. It just shows me a TON of jobs that aren’t even close to relevant for me. No matter what preferences I set, money, location, it just shows the same jobs that, like I said earlier, aren’t even relevant. I’m not now nor have I ever been working in healthcare but yet it keeps showing nursing jobs and veterinarian jobs. Also, the swipe left/right then is a terrible idea for the purpose of this app. I just get in the “swipe-left zone” and something pops up that might be mildly relevant but nope. My muscle reflex already swiped left and there’s no going back sooo... I’ll stick to the other job hunting apps until this app is better..Version: 6.9.2
✓ Could do betterLooks good on the surface, but ultimately fails in two areas. 1. When searching and you filter by, say part-time, it does not provide results just for part-time. It is clearly searches for the individual words part and time, so you still get full-time jobs as well. 2. On the skills section of your profile you have sliders to change proficiency of “My Skills”. Ok, all well and good, but heaven for bid you don’t hit the slider properly, you end up swiping between the sections of your profile, ARGH! The swiping between sections in my opinion is totally unnecessary and especially where there are sliders on the page..Version: 8.3.1
✓ Jobs that you aren’t searching for, sponsored by UNER EATS!This is a job searching app that doesn’t know how to show me jobs I’m looking for. It just shows everything and Uber eats. Seriously. ‘Literally’ every 2-5 swipes I get Uber Eats. During the tutorial it said if I swiped left that job posting would be gone forever because that means I’m not interested. That’s obviously not the case because I have swiped left on Uber 100 times. Tried searching for ‘bar manager’ positions didn’t get anything. Tried bartender and got a few mixed in with server jobs which are not the same. But seriously 80% of the jobs shown to me have nothing to do with my preferences. I constantly get IT positions when I am looking for manager positions in restaurants and customer service. This app is literally useless for me. And I am looking for some of the most common jobs. Also, before you say it’s just my ‘area’ I am looking between Ann Arbor MI, and Detroit MI. So that’s not the problem. There’s 100s of relevant jobs on other job apps that come up for me, and about 4 on Monster. DELETE..Version: 6.7.0
✓ Spam, scam, and PhishingAll I get are scam calls. I tried using Monster in 2015 and I made my profile available for employers to contact me. But these aren’t employers, these are phishing attempts and scam artists! I removed my account/made my profile private but it was too late. I had different numbers contacting me numerous times literally every day. I blocked one, then another would call, and the cycle continued. I had to change my number it got so bad! I decided to give it another try in 2018 thinking that before it was a fluke or some kind of error but literally the day after I set up a new account with my new number I get two scam calls. You need to work on how you are classifying “employers” because the only people getting a hold of my number are those who want my credit card info and social security number..Version: 6.1.2
✓ The one that started it allTo my memory, Monster was the first website dedicated to helping people find employment. It’s The Godfather of the online job finders. It was nice to discover how much all the features have have been improved. However, there’s still room to become even better. While there’s no shortage of jobs available, the “recommended based on my profile” feature is largely hit or miss. About half of the recommended jobs are either not within the scope of my experience, well below my listed minimum salary requirement or not within any of my preferred locations. A tool designed to simplify the search process actually prolongs it due to the time spent reading over the irrelevant information. Majority of available positions seem to be entry level and less of a fit if looking for management positions with salary..Version: 14.2.0
✓ BorderI have a list but #1 on it is your obliviousness towards the 49th parallel!.Version: 15.1.0
✓ AbismalAwful, awful app update - the swipe thing is very niche and doesn’t suit job applications in my opinion, I like to peruse and come back to roles rather than instantly apply or dismiss. As a senior ux designer myself I’d say this is this is text book bad ux design - give people a choice how to search at least rather than forcing a new style - which it’s obvious from the review most aren’t comfortable with. I'm resorting to the web again - please update / revert... just terrible....Version: 6.0.0
✓ This isn’t Tinder!Downloaded as I’m looking for a new job and thought I’d give this app a go. What a waste of time! The swipe function to either dismiss, save or apply is ridiculous! It’s not a dating app! It’s looking for employment! What if I don’t want to apply for a job but I don’t particularly want to dismiss it either? I don’t want to ‘save’ every other job I come across just so I don’t lose being able to see it again......Version: 7.0.1
✓ Monster has been slainComing from a long time user of the site—it was instrumental in me finding my previous and current jobs—I’m deeply disappointed in the functionality and accuracy of both the website and, more particularly, the mobile app. After recently applying to more than a half dozen jobs via a swipe on my phone, I was quickly disgusted to learn that the app only retained the data on two of them. What happened to the others? So now I must move forward with the knowledge that I have applied to jobs that no record—other than with the companies themselves—exists. Of note, one such company contacted me for an interview, but I had to decline because the company would not provide me the details about the position in advance, stating, “Use the information provided when you applied for the position.” Unfortunately, Monster has no record of my application and all attempts to find the posting failed. If I cannot trust you to aid me in my next job search, then why do you still exist?.Version: 5.6.1
✓ BadBad.Version: 15.9.0
✓ The worst.What is the point of permanently getting rid of any job listing the user doesn’t select? The first time you “pass” on a job, you get a message that says you won’t be able to see it again. WHAT IS THE REASON FOR THIS FEATURE? And it doesn’t stop at jobs you swipe left/“pass” on. If you view a listing, click apply, and then decide you want to just come back to it later and then close out of it, then the app GETS RID OF IT FOREVER! Sure, I guess I could have clicked “save” on the listing first or just bookmarked the application page, but I didn’t know I would have to do that because I didn’t know the app would just make the listing disappear like that! I’m sure I’m not the first person to complain about this feature. I see no positives for it even existing..Version: 8.1.0
✓ Bartender job search issuesI’m searching for bartending positions. I’ve tried to use this app several times in the last couple years and every time I cannot find any bartending jobs on it. If there were none available that would be acceptable but that’s not the case given the number of positions listed on other sites and apps. Instead of listing any bartending positions every position (except for maybe 1?) is for marketing or sales and they are all with one of three companies. They come up because they’re looking for people who were in hospitality. It would be fine if one or two of these were in the search but my entire search is nothing but marketing jobs. It’s not worth my time to even use the app anymore..Version: 6.6.0
✓ Spam and ScamsFake jobs, spam ads and known scams. Installed and uninstalled in under a minute. Don’t bother with this useless app.Version: 7.2.0
✓ Job Application or Tinder?As a freelance professional I use various Job apps and find this to be a ridiculous format. Having not understood the fact that ‘swiping right’ meant my CV was sent to a job meant that I applied for completely irrelevant positions. Upon receiving a ‘response’ from ‘Jamie’ at Monster I said it was an error and wished to cancel the application. Monster’s response from Jasmine was that it was totally automated and could not be cancelled. I then explained the poor interface to her to receive the exact same response. What a joke! Very unlikely to use this app again. I can only hope their website is better than the app..Version: 6.0.0
✓ Terrible Interface - zero starsThis isn’t Tinder....I actually want to look through a list of jobs not mess about with a silly swipe function where 95% of the results returned are irrelevant. Might work a little better is the search function recognised more advanced search techniques or allowed for more filtering. Overall....rubbish! Well done Monster, you have ruined a perfectly good app!.Version: 6.0.0
✓ Infuriatingly glitchyI think the layout and function of the app is great (If it worked) I entered all of my previous job experience but needed to correct a mistake. So I go back to edit one phrase and then it wouldn’t save. It also made me enter all of the start/end dates of each role which wasn’t possible due to date entry wheel error. I had to delete my account and start again..Version: 8.1.0
✓ Filter the CrapUser-ability and lay out are perfect. However you allow too many companies to post advertisements for paid courses that dont even lead to a job ?? They are courses that if you pay for them you might get a job. This is a job site !!!!!! Sort it out. Also i have my filter set to Within 10Miles of Birmingham and 90% of the jobs are London on my feed ! If you haven't got the jobs requested in my search area don't just post anything..Version: 6.6.0
✓ All Mixed UpWhat should be a real simple task to upload a resume has become a chore with Monster. I'm constantly having to check my profile with Monster because the app wants to mix up my jobs, the dates, and the descriptions of each job. Also, I'm constantly having to change the city where I worked because the app wants to default it back to Chicago Illinois. Monster has some serious issues with their job app for iOS. Gave it 2 stars simply because giving it 1 seemed down right cruel. Don't know who's in charge of programming at Monster but you might want to make a change in that Dept. Maybe place an ad on Zip Recruiter or something. Monster has made job hunting a full time job itself but unfortunately I don't think I'll be receiving a check from you all. So could you please look into these problems? Thanks.Version: 7.9.0
✓ Search doesn’t workDid a search for Security jobs. Gives me nothing except customer service jobs. Either their listings are limited or their search function just not up to snuff..Version: 7.4.1
✓ Useless and stressfulThere is no option to check posted jobs. You have to put in a search and pray they don’t show you the same jobs you already saved. If you want to see very little jobs to apply for, this app is for you.Version: 7.9.0
✓ TerribleUse this app if you enjoy being cold-called my MLMs..Version: 7.2.0
✓ Awful appThe interface looks great and it's very easy to use. That said, the results you get when searching for a job are extremely inaccurate and make you waste your time just rejecting postings that have no relevance whatsoever. I use apps from all the other big/ well known sites and this is by far the worst. The funny thing is that the postings I'm looking for are actually there, it's just that the app's search engine, algorithm or whatever controls the results is not working properly..Version: 6.3.1
✓ I'm looking for a career not using Tinder ffs.Location filter is garbage and the swipe function is possibly the most pointless change to a service I've ever come across. I don't feel confident applying for jobs with one swipe (covering letters don't matter anymore apparently)* and I can't say I feel employers would give my generic application the time of day - were I an employer I wouldn't even look twice. *heavy sarcasm.Version: 5.3.1
✓ TerribleThis is a terrible job search engine. Its sending me jobs way out of my preferred settings. It will also say there are no jobs available in my criteria , but then I will get alerts from Indeed that there are jobs available. Just not good. Deleted..Version: 15.2.0
✓ Needs workCan’t upload resume, for no apparent reason.Version: 7.0.0
✓ UselessThe search function was completely useless, it didn’t show jobs anything close to what I was searching. Don’t bother downloading..Version: 7.0.1
✓ Irrelevant job suggestions/matchesSearch criteria is so annoying, not to able to find relavent jobs and jobs suggestions are worst not sure why it’s suggesting those jobs to my profile without even a single word in job description matches Highly disappointing,.Version: 15.7.0
✓ AwfulWhy do companies constantly try to improve things only to actually make it worse?! I can no longer use this app as the search function doesn’t appear to bring back anything of significance. Search Data Analyst and it brings up EVERYTHING with those words in the description on whatever order and nothing for job title. Search Advanced Excel and actually managed to return a Laboratory Assistant!!! Will have to use other apps as this one has been changed for the worse. Oh, and the swiping function is very juvenile, not required at all.Version: 6.2.0
✓ Almost BrilliantIntuitive interface, easy set-up, plenty of job opportunities... BUT there seems to be a problem: I make changes to my online profile, and they don’t show up on my app profile - I have no way of knowing which one people are seeing, so obviously that’s some serious anxiety. Would happily swap to a 5-star review if this were sorted!.Version: 6.8.1
✓ Preferences Must Not Matter?I did not want recruiters to contact me directly regarding job opportunities due to the fact I was worried about getting calls and e-mails at all times of the day. Even with me opting out to share my contact information, I still got numerous calls a day and emails from these people. Not to mention they would ask questions that are NOT relevant to a job offering they are sending me information regarding. (Ex: last 4 of SSN, DOB, Vaccination status) Incredibly unprofessional and troubling that my information was shared despite me choosing not to and confirming that my settings were as aligned with my preferences. I rarely ever write reviews and had never heard anything negative before about Monster until my own experience showed me otherwise. I’ve deleted my account and am simply posting this to warn others. I’m sure there will be many without issue, but judging from other reviews I’m just now seeing, I’m not alone. Would recommend you look elsewhere for job postings to avoid the skeptical calls at all hours of the day and emails from staffing companies that only want to reach out about 6+ month contracts despite indicating this wasn’t what you’re looking for. Hope this helps..Version: 13.0.0
✓ Awful appYou can only view one job at a time most of which are spam. You have to actually decline or apply to view the next job vs scrolling down and looking for something to engage in. I hate the swipe feature, I hate that my contact info is given out to many sales people, I hate that monster only offers crap jobs on this app and why do you put pictures of jobs that have nothing to do with the actual job post? What’s he point of even having pictures of it only confuses people more? I never write reviews but I despise this app so much that I finally took the time to come back into the App Store to write this review. Monster app developers: read these reviews and take notes on many of the hated features and recommendations being offered up. Until that happens I will be deleting this useless app..Version: 6.0.0
✓ Amazingly bad...I have had the site and/or app destroy my online profile dozens of times since I started using it. It’s stunning how hours of work getting everything cleaned up, neatly connected, can all get thrown out the window in a second without you even realizing it’s happened. I may have lost any number of opportunities because of this. To add insult to injury, the mobile app does not have editing options to allow you to fix your profile should you happen to notice it is broken while on your cell phone. I like the idea of swiping to apply, but you guys have got to fix a lot of your coding before this is truly prime time. You’re supposed to be legends, but this is a database gone mad....Version: 6.4.1
✓ Bad bug. Useless appI can’t get past the second set up screen. It’s a really bad bug that make the app completely useless. Please fix..Version: 6.9.0
✓ Can’t apply for jobsSo....this app seems like a great concept, but whenever I press ‘apply for this job,’ it usually takes me to the jobs original web page, which is fine, where I then fill out whatever other information they may need. However, when I go to actually upload my resume to the site, it just....closes. It doesn’t make any sense and I’ve wasted so much time filling out the same information over and over just to have the same thing happen when I try to upload my resume. I’ve even tried uploading from different locations but it still won’t work. Obviously, this defeats the entire purpose of the app since I can’t even apply to any jobs...Hopefully this can be fixed soon..Version: 6.5.2
✓ Tinder of job search... doesn’t like to find the exact fitMonster used to be a better package, I’ve used it since 1997. Major problem, the search capability has gone down hill. I’m searching for a specific job, I only want that job title. Instead of providing the specific results, AI based engine demonstrates that’s an idiot by providing exclusively irrelevant jobs. Its kind of like I’m searching for jobs as a teacher and Monster’s AI is only telling me about opportunities driving Uber and Lyft... If the AI was that smart, it would know I can’t drive because I’ve totaled several cars in the past two years and can’t get insurance. Kind of discouraging. Then there’s also the spam from the “recruiters” who seem to scour the board trolling for a piece of the action. Most of them seem to be from India, and they are very excited to tell about a different wrong job. I almost wish “Want ads” would return..Version: 6.7.0
✓ Filters don’t work. This app is a hot messVery stressful to use. You search for a job and it returns something entirely different from what you searched and once you’ve swiped those ones away it will tell you there’s no other jobs. Needs fixing ASAP..Version: 8.0.1
✓ Rubbish for professional contractorsThis app does not allow you to specify contracts, so you spend far too long wading through permanent roles. You also have to specify just one town, this is really annoying for people like me who are used to travelling 100s miles and staying in different towns/ cities when on a contract. All job adverts should specify the rates, otherwise it wastes even more time. And the interface is so dumbed down. Rubbish..Version: 6.6.0
✓ Awful app from a good siteDidn’t actually realise swiping right meant I’d actually applied for the job until reading here. Jobs aren’t something you decide on straight away, sometimes you want to read more or even give it consideration, you know, when you could be spending the majority of your life there soon...!! It’s even worse if you swipe right accidentally for a job you’ve not actually got an interest in, then can’t undo an application?! I’d imagine job posters are also not happy with this. I’ve actually deleted this app now, but it would be easy to fix - just do as many have suggested and make the right hand swipe an option to review, then automate after that..Version: 6.2.0
✓ Not enough filtersSorry, I’m not a rocket scientist. This site is for highly skilled people. If I could set the salary to a maximum and minimum instead of just a minimum then I wouldn’t have to waste my time scrolling through jobs I’m not qualified for or are not in my desired industry, which you also can’t specify. After a few minutes of passing on jobs, I give up and look on other sites..Version: 6.1.0
✓ Swiping left on this appDownloaded and deleted the app pretty quickly. Last time I job searched, I used the monster app to save jobs I liked, to pull them up from the desktop later and send my materials to after making any adjustments. Now though, the dating app style swiping allows to apply instantly or delete the posting so you don’t see it again or... nope it seems that’s actually it. I can’t even scroll past to see other postings without acting on the first one. This isn’t a tinder date where a quick look and read is all you need; sometimes there’s an easy no or yes when job searching but often I want to look into further or save for later. Not a fan of the changes..Version: 6.6.0
✓ Monster Apps continue to go downhillWhen searching for work I want to be able to filter to get specific results that are relevant to me out of the thousands available per day. Monster used to do this, and do this well. This new app is Tinder for jobs, basic location, distance and title search with one result displayed at a time and a swipe left and right on each job. What is ironic is the high caliber jobs this app primarily displays, the sort of which require candidates who won’t waste their time with this app..Version: 5.3.1
✓ Awful.First things first. The sync between app and website. Why is it you have to re-enter your job history a second time upon logging in the first time? It’s very inconvenient and the app should sync across clients. Secondly, the search feature is horrid. I typed in the name of a couple workplaces and nothing showed up despite the app offering me listings for one of the places! Typing in literally anything in the job search box returns nothing despite boasting many jobs and even showing them on the Monster website, which is a step up from this terrible app. Job match algorithm isn’t that great; a good example is I keep being shown welding, nursing, IT, and marketing jobs despite being only qualified for an entry level marketing position at best due to retail experience. This application needs a huge overhaul if it wants to keep going and keep its mobile userbase. Whoever designed this application’s algorithm is a peanut..Version: 6.0.0
✓ Wrong countryKeeps giving me job for the states not Canada ..Version: 11.2.0
✓ Horrible. No jobs available, really?!I am a registered nurse, and thought I’d use this app instead of the website to search for current opportunities in my area. When I used the search option at the top of the page and typed “RN”, I got the “No jobs available” message. Then I tried “registered nurse”, and even just “nurse”...same thing. I checked the filters to make sure my radius was not limited to my back yard, and everything was set correctly. So it is definitely this site. To make matters worse, I got what I’m sure was an automatic greeting from a support person called Jay, who assured me that several postings were available in my area. I mentioned the above in my response, and his counter response made it clear that he wasn’t a real person and didn’t read anything I wrote, asking me to try typing a key word in the search field....Version: 6.3.0
✓ Filters are a major problemI quite like the Tinder style swiping but would much prefer that the ones I swipe right on are saved for me to go back and look at in more detail rather than just instantly applying. The main issue I have is that you only get two filters: location and salary. The first issue is that these just don’t work. I set the salary and was still being shown jobs that were nearly £10k lower than I was looking for. There is no way to filter whether you are looking for permanent/part time/fixed term or by sector or any of the usual filters you would expect from a job listing website! I think I had the app downloaded for a total of 10 minutes and gave up..Version: 6.1.1
✓ My experience with the Monster AppIn my experience with this app I have had a terrible one. I would get an email saying I have a message then when I go to the app there is no message. When I went to the help and support it says I must have more than one account, but only have one account. They asked me if the email I am receiving is the email address I am using for said account and it is. Since an email account can only have one profile then the email I receive is for the account the app is linked to. Plus, the jobs they recommend are crap, they are not even in my field of experience and education. I am a autocad/3D designer and the jobs they recommend to me are all in accounts payable or sales. I would not recommend this app to anyone I know or don’t know. Out of all of the job board apps I have ever used this one is the absolute worst..Version: 8.1.0
