Pros

“It gives me a resume scanning and scoring method.”

Chandan C.

Global Director

“While the system is fairly intuitive to use it is no longer one of the big job boards that candidates use when they think about a job.”

Terry D.

HRD

“Monster+ has lead our clinic to hiring at least two of our employees (which out of 10, is a high percentage).”

Leanna M.

MT-BC, NMT-F, CTD

Pros

“As a technical recruiter, I rely heavily on Boolean search, filters, projects, saved searches, and InMail to find and contact qualified passive candidates.”

Flavia C.

Senior Recruiter

“We use LinkedIn Recruiter across our hiring team for everything from sourcing candidates through to managing pipelines and coordinating outreach.”

Krystal M.

People and Finance Operations

“The platform also works well for team collaboration, allowing multiple recruiters to work on the same pipeline without things getting disorganised.”

Krystal M.

People and Finance Operations

Cons

“The last time I was on monster, it was very hard to navigate and understand how their process works.”

Cheryl K.

Human Resource Manager

“The software seemed to lose relevancy and thus there were less applicants.”

Chris D.

Marketing Director

“Sometimes there are resumes and candidates that are EXTREMELY underqualified or in a different field that pop up.”

Micah S.

Lead imaging supervisor

Cons

“This lack of comparable alternatives makes it difficult to judge whether LinkedIn Recruiter is genuinely the best product or simply the only realistic option for many recruiters.”

Flavia C.

Senior Recruiter

“The subscription fees are expensive, especially for small companies or individual recruiters, this made hard for right person to reach the suitable company.”

Angel C.

“This can make the lower tiers feel unnecessarily limited despite their cost.”
