I first registered my CV on monster over 3 years ago. As a result I have received many calls from recruiters, attended many interviews and received one part time job. Overall I have found monster to have some use in the sense that one can simply register a CV and then be approached by a recruitment agency. In the early days I received ...  Read the complete review

I have been looking for a job for quite a while (fortunately got one), but to my surprise almost never got any response or feedback from using Monster.. It looks great and promising with hundreds of jobs fitting even your personalised criteria.. But some of them really look not trustworthly to me.. For example, there was a post for a Russian ...  Read the complete review

As some of you may know, I decided to make a huge lifestyle change and move from London back to Portsmouth. I have lived here for four years but I can say now that I have never really loved it, it is true to say that London can be a very lonely place! I have my boyfriend who keeps me company obviously, but slowly my friends who live here have ...  Read the complete review

I have recently signed up on Monster Jobs as I heard it was a good site. They basicaly find jobs for you, like you're head hunted. I created my profile and uploaded my own CV. They did give an option to build a CV, but I was happy with my own and wanted companies to see my own efforts and not some web designs bog standard one. ...  Read the complete review

I have joined Monster and I uploaded my CV and at first I made it searchable. I don't think this was a mistake as I haven't encountered any problems so far, although I have now made my CV not searchable and I just use it if I apply for a job. One of the reasons I made my CV not searchable was because of the amount of emails I was ...  Read the complete review

I've signed up to monster and i must admit i was rather 'surprised' at getting a response 24 hours later. Wow! I thought, i was looking for customer services vacancies and made it quite clear what salary i was looking for. i got a call, guy said his name (probably false) said he was working for a 'National Company', not much to go on is it? That ...  Read the complete review

I had a bad experience recently with an internet based recruitment agency. As a result of that bad experience I thought I would be better off joining a larger website as I figured that to get to that size they must be reputable. I chose Monster primarily because they look to be a huge recruitment website and also because a couple of ...  Read the complete review

-Looking back at this opinion, I see how bad and unhelpful it is. I'm sorry, I was a little tired last night, and I didn't really have much to say, it's one of those sites you sign up to, search for a bit, then leave, expecting them to do the work. This means, I wasn't at the site much, and upable to write a worthwhile review. ...  Read the complete review

Well how surprised am I?? A few weeks ago I was dabbling abouto n monster.co.uk and created a CV that I jokingly entitled 'Superwoman'. I've just been back in there and it's been viewed 6 times by employers, so they really do look on there! Aside from that, it's quite an easy, if not somewhat lengthy, process to put ...  Read the complete review

I registered with Monster about 18 months ago when I first started to look for a new job. I did not really put any effort into pursuing it too much as I was not too serious about leaving. I put a CV onto Monster using their online CV editor. I forgot about it and checked in on it some 8 or 9 months later and I had 1 person review it! Not ...  Read the complete review

I use to go on this site about two years ago and it was pretty good. It still is OK but not as good as it does have an IT focus. However, there are other categories and jobs in them but only a few. The search criteria include PR and Marketing and Call Centre and Customer Service – so there is a bit of a range. If you are ...  Read the complete review

I tried monster out a few months ago and to perfectly honest i was not impressed. Inputing your CV seems over complicated yet restrictive on the information that you can give. I have never had any response from the board either. I work within the construction industry and monster does not seem to gather many (if any) in this field. My ...  Read the complete review

What a good website (once you figure out how to work it!) I have just graduated and am looking for a job. Since I have an Information Management degree and really want to work in New Media, I figured that the Internet would be the best place to start. Monster takes some time to set up (about 60-90 minutes). You have to input your CV ...  Read the complete review
