Monster Worldwide / Monster.com - fake jobs - scam

I have been out of work for over two months now and am at the end of my rope regarding these so called online job boards. I've applied for hundreds of jobs using this "service" and not received one call for an interview. I understand we're in a recession, but that should affect the number of jobs listed on the site. It does seem like slim pickings, but...

Monster Worldwide / Monster.com online scam

Monster.com tried to develop the 'new monster'. However, it's been a mess for months and the executive team is cashing free paychecks. All this while your desperately trying to find work. AND, during the hardest times people need to find a job the most, the executives don't give a rats ### about weather you loose out on jobs.

Monster keeps selling SELLING it's services to companies as the best- even though it's worse than hotjobs.com. Monster charges more than anyone else, while selling the new and IMPROVED Monster. However, the job board IS THE WORST JOB BOARD EVER AND THE MOST EXPENSIVE.

Jobs do not come up that employers post. You cannot do a nationwide search. You type in your city and it only pulls up jobs in your city, even if you put 200 miles out you will not see those jobs. You have to type in EVERY LITTLE CITY in any area to find a job.

I've eMailed Monster Executives soo many times. I'm not getting paid to fix their job boards. However, looks like Jame Broadbent is getting free money - he does not even take the time to test his own product. He has no clue about the problems with his own company job board. However, a friend says he's making some big bucks and taking some very long lunches with several vacations.

BOY COT MONSTER. DON'T POST YOUR JOBS - IT WILL BE A HUGE WAIST OF COMPANY MONEY. THEY BECAME BIG FROM US AND WE CAN STOP USING THEM TOO. THEY DON'T CARE WEATHER YOU FIND AN IMPORTANT JOB OR NOT. IT'S ALL ABOUT MONEY AND SPENDING IT BIG TIME.

DON'T POST JOBS ON MONSTER. THEY ARE RIPPING PEOPLE OFF. YOU CANNOT FIND THE JOBS YOU WANT.

I gave them every opportunity for months to fix their problems and still not done. They took down the Refresh button and a recruiter stated that James lied about the service was causing problems for recruiters! HOWEVER, WE ALL LOVED THE REFRESH BUTTON AND IT WAS THEIR ONLY GOOD PART OF SERVICE.

MONSTER WILL WORK AGAINST YOU FROM FINDING A JOB!

Monster Worldwide / Monster.com terrible experience

I know a lot of people have said good things about monster.com over the years. I am the dissenting opinion that this website allows too many scam artists, con men, fraudulent colleges which offer degree mills and doesn't make the effort to delete these websites from their website. It is simply a case of buyer beware when it comes to dealing with job posters.

I am a member of monster.com since September and am a recent college graduate. I applied for jobs on this website, preferably within the vicinity of my neighborhood. During the month of October, I received a call back from a company called 'Ad Hoc Advertisement' and another called 'O' Rourke Advertising, ' if either has checked this website they can find out these companies are not what they claim to be and were conducting borderline legal scams. In Ad Hoc's case, they will tell they are an 'aggressive advertising company' that has worked with 'Papa John's' and 'the Oakland A's.' When, in fact, they are selling Winnie the Pooh Encyclopedias titled 'Pooh-Pedias' and door-to-door canvassing selling home improvement.

If a company is as successful as they claim to be, what the f**k are they doing selling Pooh-Pedias for? I also received an unsolicited e-mail from some guy named 'Bryan' telling me about some work-at-home scam, and just this week, I received another phone call from a lady pitching me the idea of an anti-wrinkle cream which 'annihilates aging forever'! All I have to do is go on their website www.thebesttrend.com and listen to a 30-minute pitch and I will have to work again!

I have received, in one morning, six--yes, six, calls from a fraudulent degree mill. I never solicited their offers so they got my info from monster.com. Its time monster.com start coming to terms with their website because people will eventually smell the fraudulent postings, the degree mills, and the scams and stop trusting this website as a source for their careers.

Absolutely! All I get from having used this board is offers to go back to school. My Masters Degree isn't working for me now, why would I need another one?!? Is there anywhere to go where there are REAL jobs posted for people to apply? It seems every where on the net is filled with fake jobs only meant to get you to go back to school, or get insurance, or refinance your mortgage. SHAME ON THESE PEOPLE!

Monster Worldwide / Monster.com bogus credit checks

I am very disappointed in AMSCOT's credit check system. They are turning qualified people down due to bad credit. A machine does not know anything about my credit worthiness. I was laid off my job and hire back for less wages. That is how my credit was ruined. I am not writing bad checks. I worked for a large financial Institution (No name mentioned). I was laid off then hired back for less wages a year later. This is how large companies generate revenue for themselves. They open up jobs in other countries paying them around .75 cents an hour and lay off the Americans. How can you compet with that? If America is in debt, how do they expect us to have perfect credit ? With all the security cameras in place, I dont see how anyone can walk out with large computer or what worse large cash. You are getting rich off my money not my credit. I use their services all the time.

As a Customer Service Representative I would know that I must first be able to establish report with the customers. By having their trust and understanding they will be influenced to return to the company. It is not the fancy look of the building. This is how I would have been a great asset to organization.
I anyone is interested in hiring me please email me at [protected]@yahoo.com

Monster Worldwide / Monster.com fake job ads

Dear Monster,

I am a job seek and a registered candidate at Monster.com.hk, I am looking for job of a secretary position, I am now using a fake name to send this complaint.

I would like to make a formal complaint about the ads in www.monster.com.hk for those insurance companies and those financial planning companies.

Firstly, their job ads almost are filling in all categories of "banking and finance", "sales and marketing", "secretaries and administration", which I have to waste a lot of time to distinguish them after I hit the job search for a secretary vacancy.

Secondly, they sometimes posted fake ads and cheated me to go to their job interview, e.g. they said they are hiring secretary or administration assistant but in fact they were hiring insurance agents or financial planners.

I have actually attended two job interviews because of their ads and their interview calls. I would like to give you two sample links here for your reference.

1. http://jobs.monster.com.hk/details/4924733.html?sig=js-5-8a859ec8b65ff2e7f98c4fca0c9eeac5-1

2. http://jobs.monster.com.hk/details/5389895.html?sig=js-5-4bce79966908ac2f21fcd2bf140b1802-1

3. http://jobsearch.monster.com.hk/searchresult.html
(please type in "secretary" or "assistant" and see what you can get..., those ads are almost all from insurance companies, I don't mind if they are really hiring secretaries, but they are hiring insurance in reality)

Thank you for attention.

I think monster is being ran by the country India. I sent two resumes to two totally different companies and I was contacted by a Indian woman with a extremely thick accent. The 2nd job response was from the same woman leaving the exact same number as the first. Don't use this website it's a complete scam.

Monster.com

This is one of the worse job sites I have used. The do not respond back and send you job listing in the wrong service, town or local areas. Website hard to navigate or post information on. Do not use.

Monster Worldwide / Monster.com this job site stinks

I need to vent about how AWFUL Monster.com is, and ...you can't post on their forums without paying. I wouldn't PAY to belong to that stinking site for ANY. THING.

Not only do I get daily job alerts, which.. is the idea -- but they SAY that there are new jobs on each alert, but when you log in and check them -- it says "No jobs posted for that alert" == thank you for wasting my time, Monster. com idiots. I guess you gotta PAY to NOT get sent false alerts, huh?

On top of that -- you can't click back anywhere -- it just comes up again. As a prof. web designer, lemme just tell you what HACKS you look like, Monster. com with your cheap little "fake advertising clicks" techniques. Eat me, Monster. com
