CareerBuilder.com vs. Yello

If I could give them a zero, I would. In my experience, CareerBuilder.com literally took thousands of my hard-earned dollars ($5K) for NOTHING in return! You would think that since CareerBuilder.com could literally see that it was not producing the results promised, it would have considered releasing me from the contract or lowering the cost, in my opinion, but CareerBuilder.com made sure they collected every penny from me with zero consideration for customer satisfaction and failed to deliver the applicants. That told me everything I needed to know about CareerBuilder.com and how they really feel about customers. In my opinion, CareerBuilder.com primary focus is to get customers on the hook with a contract to legally guarantee they receive their money from you, but they can care less about the results their platform produces or customer satisfaction, “they just want your money”! I firmly believe CareerBuilder.com knows that their product does not work, hence the reason for the 1 yr contract is to basically guarantee company revenue for an entire year.

This software is ideal for companies of all sizes who wish to recruit qualified personnel in a simple and uncomplicated way. For our company, it has been a great help and has made the selection process more efficient and has provided us with qualified personnel.

• It has live video interviews in front of a jury, which allows us to ask the interviewee customizable questions that the program also throws them by default.
• It also has integrations with social networks to expand the search for ideal candidates for our vacancies, as well as integrations with software such as a greenhouse, Gmail, daxtra, and more, to improve its functions.
• It allows us to view the candidates' profiles in an organized way so that we can monitor their progress in the selection process.

Incentivized

• Functionality can be more user-friendly for beginners.
• More options to integrate with other platforms and Applicant Tracking Systems
• Make it easier to create candidate lists, and send mass emails--while this feature is available, CareerBuilder.com does not make it easy for users to perform these tasks.
• Add an option for the user to be notified when candidates in saved folders have removed their resume or are no longer available.

• The platform allows affiliation to events or job fairs, but its number of events is very minimal for what we need.
• Its learning curve may be a bit high, but it is worth getting to know the software in-depth, as it is very useful and provides us with great candidates.
• For the high learning curve, they need a little more support material, guides, and tutorials, for its correct use.

CareerBuilder.com is average in terms of overall usability. I am able to post my positions and figure the site out. However, finding out how many additional options you are is not something easily accessible. If you don't know where to look, you may not be able to find or know how many "boosts" you have to use for the month.

I have had a positive experience with CareerBuilder's support. When the platform has been updated throughout the years, CareerBuilder's account managers have always provided our team with helpful live tutorials and demonstrations to help familiarize our users with new and upcoming features, as well as older features that will no longer be offered. Support team makes themselves available on an ongoing basis.

I do not think that CareerBuilder.com is a very good job posting site. It does not provide you with quality applicants like some other products I have used. Not only does it provide a low number of candidates, the ones we do get to tend to be repeat applicants or are not qualified at all.

• There was not a good ROI for the investment we spent with CareerBuilder. It cost us money that did not turn in to employees.
• We spent labor hours trying to get candidates who were ghosting us. So it ended up being a waste of time and manpower as well.

Incentivized

• It is much easier to recruit personnel thanks to this software. It is a little uphill to learn, so at first, we had trouble adapting to it, but it has powerful tools such as cv search engines, which make the recruitment process is done in record time, greatly improving our performance.
