I decided to compare recruiting platforms and the successes found within the different options. After two weeks, I realized I was wasting my time and money for the return that was promised to me by the sales team, and the on boarding team waited 3-5 days(weekend)to contact me with a reasonable schedule. At first it seem too good to be true, but CareerBuilder.com turned out to be a waste of time and money. I shut down all of my ads immediately. Told Derek to close my account. Derek was a little, indignant and combative, but the honest to God‘s truth is you will not get your money worth your investment return, no matter what these people say. And they want to hijack you for a year contract when CareerBuilder.com is a deadbeat platform. Derek explained a normal turnaround time to get a good qualified worker is 60 days. My turnaround time is 3 to 7 days. I would go out of business working with CareerBuilder.com. I couldn’t run fast enough.
Pros
They talk a good game
They convince you, they can provide you with your needs
Cons
More than seven applicants to apply in a days time.
Honesty taken more seriously
Integrity taken more seriously
Dissatisfied Customers’ taken more seriously.

The on boarding training did not begin for three days, after deciding I would like to give them a shot. CareerBuilder.com is well-suited for companies that are not in a hurry to fill their job orders.
Our organization uses CareerBuilder.com to source potential candidates for our clients' open job requisitions. CareerBuilder is one of a handful of resources we currently use for this function. It provides additional candidates and applicants that may not be found on some of the other major job/resume databases. The functionality allows our firm to communicate, create lists folders, and share candidates internally.
Pros
Advanced keyword and Boolean search options
Sourcing and identifying candidates by geographical location
Contacting potential candidates directly through the CareerBuilder platform
Creating original and generic email and job posting templates
Cons
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.
Likelihood to Recommend
CareerBuilder.com is well suited for mid-level and lower-level recruitment. I have noticed that it does not target/attract the C-level or executive-level candidates. Therefore, it is not always resourceful when working on higher-level searches. I have also noticed there are many duplicate resumes that come up on searches, which can create some frustration during the sourcing process.
Our recruiting team used CareerBuilder to post jobs and source candidates. Typically, we used it when hard-to-fill jobs needed candidates and we would search through candidate profiles and reach out to potential hires.
Pros
Easy to post jobs - Intuitive and painless process.
Good dashboard with candidate information provides a great picture of what candidates are applying and helps us shape targeting.
Cons
Could use more search functionality - Including additional search parameters would help make finding the best candidates easier.
Not as many people in candidate pool as other job boards.
Likelihood to Recommend
CareerBuilder is a decent job board but I would typically suggest it as a backup option to other boards. It holds a decent amount of candidates and has good functionality to shape up your posting and who you are targeting, but lacks in search parameters and this makes it a little less valuable than other tools.
It is used to place ads for open positions we need to fill on a permanent and/or temporary full and/or part time basis. Just the hiring department uses the site and each office has two hiring managers. It assist[s in] getting the word out about open positions in the community.
Pros
Gets the word out about open positions.
It is an easy tool to get resumes in.
It offers a resume search tool.
Cons
The match up could be stronger.
Likelihood to Recommend
The only issue is [the same as] all employment sites [where] some people unfitting for positions get their resumes through to you anyway. And although it is a waste of your time, it is still worth using the site to get the good ones. Many more worthy candidates come through than unworthy [ones].
