Easy apply makes the process quick and easy. Pros Super-easy to get your profile set up and linked with sites like LinkedIn and others. Daily emails with openings makes job hunting a breeze.

Owner/ Operator Restaurants Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Using CareerBuilder" November 17, 2020 5.0 Pros The thing I like most about applicant tracking is the notifications. I like being notified every time someone applies for the job that I posted instead of having to stay close to my computer and monitor the site. Cons There aren't too many applicants that use careerbuilder so I guess I would say that the applicant pool isn't broad enough. Review Source LG Lisa G. Sr IT Recruiter Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Junk, Junk, Junk IT resumes" February 24, 2021 2.0 I am not an overall fan of their IT resumes. Maybe it is better with non IT roles? Pros ease of posting job reks, decent database of IT resumes, and can integrate with our JobDiva ATS tool Cons We just get so many junk resumes of people that dont match our IT jobs at all. My email gets filled with irrelevant resumes. Example: I would have an IT rek of a .NET developer and I Get housecleaners and taxi drivers that submit resumes.

You can send the emails from their own platform what makes it easy. Cons Sometimes you have to fill some information that is mandatory and it doesn't​ show it as mandatory, so you have to return to fill it. Review Source BB Blair B.

" November 4, 2021 4.0 Pros Careerbuilder has been around for along time, so it offers one of the most vast databases out there.

Review Source EP Erin P.

Pros I love some of the tools to help thin down applicants especially on the higher up positions. Give great options that help to narrow down candidates and speed up finding the right one. Cons It is almost too cumbersome. Easier to use a software with less options and does not take so long to set up each open positions that is entry level. When you get over 100 applicants off Indeed for free in just 24 hours it is a waste of time to use this for entry level positions. Review Source hY harshith Y.
