The company allows flexible working hours/places with client's consent. Payment is matching the market rate. Easy to communicate with management and get yourself heard. The team is great, learning and work is so enjoyable. Only downside is that you might face the risk of being on bench when your project is completed.
Me posting my resume on this site was the worst mistake. I get over 10 CALLS every single day. Some jobs I'm not even qualified to work. I swear I believe they sold all my information overseas. I have never heard of not a one of the companies that that called and I have taking contracts for over 20 years. Everyone is from foreign nationalities. No English fluent recruiters.Can barely understand them.DO NOT POOST YOUR RESUME HERE!
Look at all the negative reviews for this so called Job site. Add me to the list. I get several emails and texts a day, all very suspicious. It's hard to even delete your resume, as well as deleting your account. They are so shady. DO NOT TRUST THEM. I'm reporting them to the BBB. Their reviews on the BBB speak for themselves. Disgusting breeding ground for foreign scammers. Be warned.

It was good back in its day, but so many changes made to website that did not need to be made. They could not just leave it alone! IT IS UNUSABLE! ABSOLUTELY UNUSABLE! Navigation is limited to a small window in the bottom corner. REALLY? Jobs are mostly junk and spam bs. A million instacart and jobs like that. It is as bad as monster is, which is pretty much the same load of crap.
I am really not happy with Career Builders. 1) They send you jobs that have nothing to do with your resume or skill sets. 2) When you do click on something of interest, it takes you to another internet employment site that is collecting your information by asking for your email address and then they start sending you ALOT of junk emails. What a waste.
Applied to some job listings and was immediately bombarded with fake job offers from scammers in my email and on my phone. They now have my information from my resume as well. Don't put yourself at risk. DO NOT USE THIS SITE! If you've already used the site and are in the same boat at me whatever you do do not click any link in the emails or message and give them no information.
Just don't use this site. The amount of scam texts, emails and phone calls for fake jobs is insane. Ever since I put my information on this website, it's been several a day. Save yourself the headache.
Very skeptical of the authenticity of the "job opportunities" I am receiving. Suddenly, the moment I signed up for this job, 30 dollars an hour job opportunities fell on my lap. Am I Hired? No. I think they are all scams to be quite frank.
You deserve no stars, but couldn't post without at least 1. I was suppose to get free trial never did, I logged in on 10/27/23 and made sure not set on auto renew, then still got billed anyways. Never received 1 single application for a client service representative (easy job to get applications for) and then got billed for 2 months of nothing and I will be disputing with cc company! You are a scammer!
Tip for consumers:
STAY FAR AWAY FROM THEM!

This is the absolute worst website I have ever encountered. One, I didn't realize what exactly posting my resume on here would entail so let me explain. You will get constant phone calls from scammers who lake credibility, as well as constant emails. They caller IDs are from across the US so you never know if someone reputable is calling or not. And if it's career builder, they're not reputable. They sell your information to other businesses which includes your email, phone number, and other personal information. And last but not least, they make it ridiculously hard for you to delete your account. I sent in a request to have my information removed a month ago and still nothing. I called this morning and got hung up on. I called back and they told me they're only doing customer service through email. So to refresh, I'm still getting spam calls and emails out the wazzoo and it is extremely frustrating. Career builder is horrible. I attached a picture of my voicemail which is now FLOODED, so you can see what I am talking about.

It would have been helpful to know that I was setting myself up to be spammed all day.

One of the worst services ever. Career Builder and Monster.com might be the worst companies ever when it comes to customer support, or to anything, really. Terrible employee conduct, rude and short tempered, never get anything done, and I honestly do not understand how these companies make money. Either way, we moved away from them before they got a chance to scam us. I would advise you to be careful out there.
Tip for consumers:
Nothing, we've been trying to work with these guys for two weeks now, and they keep hanging up on me. You can try it yourselves, call these guys, ask for more information that they offer on the websites, and you will see how fast they will hang up on you and then block your number.

Nothing, they disabled the account, they were so rude, and they ask for so many pieces of information, that it makes you wonder why, and what they might use it on.
Let's remember that at least it's free to receive job notifications from CareerBuilder. The thing that annoys me is that you cannot specify that you only want to see jobs within a certain area.
I continually get emailed jobs that are 2+ hours away from my home and it's a waste of time.
Also, many employers have told me that when they try to look at my resume on CareerBuilder, it's formatted badly and is hard to read as it apparently doesn't look at all like the document I uploaded.
Another thing they need to do is remove jobs that are filled! It's extremely aggravating to go to all of the trouble of filling out an online app just to find out that the position was filled 3 week ago!
But... let's remember, it's still a free service and it doesn't cost anything to look!
I've used several career services sites, and none of them except this one has so many scam calls. Yes, I may get an email here and there from the other websites. But CareerBuilder takes the cake! I was receiving scam calls and emails almost every day. So, I deleted my information and the account. Do yourself a favor and use another employment website.
Tip for consumers:
Beware of scams. I did not fall for any, but some people may.
Unless you like being called 30-45 per day, every single day, including weekends, from nothing but what my phone automatically marks as "spam" "medium threat" (some even come across as a high threat). They are all from the middle east and are calling from a call center. You can hear many other voices in the background talking to other poor suckers. Even after you take your resume down and take it off of view by potential employers, these scammers still call you. Soon I will have to change my phone number! Do Not, under any circumstances, apply, create a profile, or upload your resume onto this site!
Horrible search parameters - I entered Data Entry Specialist within 10 miles of my home and these were the results: Laboratory Director, Registered Nurse, Regional Director of Finance. How is that helpful to a Data Entry specialist looking for a position. Filters revert back to the default constantly instead of the filters chosen for the search... I despise Indeed but it is still better than this site.
I applied for one job on CareerBuilder and within a day have received 4 scan interview requests! Don't use this site if you don't want constant scams to your phone and email!
They are great and my favorite part is they only contact via the email YOU CHOOSE. And if by chance a faker manages too post a job to you through careerbuilder.com at the bottom of every email is a link where you can turn that fake job in too, they will investigate and will take care of that account. I have had some great job offers because of careerbuilder.com. Ive just had my 2cd job interview, background check and drug screening for Aldi. A place ive always wanted to work..
This site is a breeding ground for scammers. You will be bombarded with text, emails, etc from bogus "jobs". I have applied to over a 100 jobs on this site and not 1 legit business or employer has contacted me. Career Builder seems to be doing nothing at all to protect the users of this site. You will frequently receive emails full of grammatical errors, request for pics of your drivers license, etc. It is unfortunate people cant even seek work without being made victims of scams like these. The scammers are dumb to say the least because why target people who 9 out of 10 are looking for work because they have no money.
CB has a good database of candidates. Having said that, their internal people are 90% incompetent. They have screwed up my account so many times, they call all the time, they don't listen.
Ads don't work, you will get all kind of people that aren't even close.
Career builder is a SCAM! I just looked at jobs on their site and now I receive calls and texts almost daily saying they have my resume. I never put my resume or information of this site! When I called and emailed to report it no help was given. Is Careerbuilder selling my information or using my to identify to scam employers to thinking they actually have candidates?! This is atrocious, BBB please hold them accountable and check their books, this is dirty!
Career Builder is SELLING your information.
In three days I've had 6 scams.
Contacted them, thru email. They take no responsibility, just say, yeah they use our logo.
Seriously, it's hard enough finding a job. Now MY job is to weed out Career Builder scams
Jobseekers beware. Do not post your resumes here. You are only setting up yourself to be targeted by "HR/Directors/Recruiters/Sales" from multilevel marketing companies, all sorts of insurance companies (eg. American Income, Farmers, Colonial Life), shady virtual assistant jobs and worse--things that may not have anything to do with your education or career goals. Their spammy phishing emails continue for days, weeks, and months. I closed my CareerBuilder account for not wanting to deal with junk every day.
Tip for consumers:
Do not provide your email and phone numbers on CareerBuilder
Products used:
Job board service--there is no protection for applicants who upload their resumes, their emails and phone numbers circulate over the internet
I was able to find job information, but many of the jobs seem to be already filled internally, or through some other means other than CareerBuilder.com.
Not to mention many of them just seem to help company and corporation HR departments by giving "employers" a lot of names and resumes, so if they ever get sued, they can claim that they "looked at many potential candidates" through their website, even though the position was probably filled weeks ago by someones niece or grandchild who did not even need to apply for the job.
Out of work and down on my luck. Completed profile and uploaded resume. All I get are scammers texting or emailing me for interviews with companies that ARE NOT hiring.
Tip for consumers:
Don't
