"Monster Product Review"
5/5
What do you like best about Monster?

Monster is a good platform to find candidates based on requirements. The best part is the ‘Resume Updated’ section, which shows profiles updated recently and gives more options to find matching candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Monster?

One dislike about Monster is that it doesn’t have an option to filter or find visa candidates like H1B. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rafael Pagan of Monster

Thank you for being a Monster user and for sharing your feedback with us! We are so glad to hear that you find the "Resume Updated" section valuable. We know how important it is for talent acquisition professionals to connect with candidates who are actively looking and have recently refreshed their profiles.

We also hear your feedback regarding a filter for visa candidates, specifically for H1B status. This is a recurring request we are seeing from our recruiting partners, and we understand how much time a dedicated filter would save your team during the screening process. Please know that your input has been shared with our product team as a priority for future platform updates.

Thank you for choosing Monster to help you find the right matches for your requirements!

Best regards,

The Monster Team
