Recruiting Questions and Concerns Answered
Posting jobs online and searching CV databases is fast, affordable and efficient and, with Monster’s online tools and online solutions, it’s easy and painless too.
If you have never posted a job online or searched a CV database before you may have questions.
Is it easy to get my ad online?
Posting a job online is surprisingly easy and straightforward. And we are with you every step of the way. Our step-by-step guide to posting a job,
online demos and
downloads show you how to post your job quickly and efficiently.
Will I spend hours sifting through responses?
Our candidate management system keeps track of applicants for you. You can also control the volume of responses you receive by creating screening questions which will label
unqualified candidates as 'auto-rejected'. You can also manage the job posting responses by ensuring that your job posting is specific and clearly written.
You can get help with writing your job posting here.
Will I get large volumes of irrelevant CVs?
No. You can remedy this by using our filtering questions which will label unqualified candidates as 'auto-rejected'.
What about SMEs?
Online recruitment tends to afford a more level playing field – the more specific an ad is, the more likely it will be seen in searches.
Be as specific as possible when selecting the industry and location of your job posting so that your job ad will only appear on relevant job searches.
You can also upload your logo to appear in your job ad and in the job search listings to leverage your company’s brand. You can also take the initiative and search CVs in our CV database
to find the right candidate and approach them directly or take advantage of our special offers.
How do I search millions of CVs to find the right candidate?
The CV database is massive but totally manageable. When you search for CVs you can set search criteria as broad or as specific as necessary to save you time searching.
If you are unhappy with the results of a CV search, try amending the search criteria to include or exclude factors that will help increase or decrease the volume of results.
You can search by industry, location, education and company. For a step-by-step guide to searching CVs, click here
or view a demo of our CV database.
What guarantee of response do I have?
Responses are often determined by the quality of the job posting. Ensure the headline and job title are specific and self explanatory, the requirements and advantages of the job are clearly
listed in the job posting itself and the application process is straightforward. You can also visit our Monster Guides section for guides, checklists and demos to help ensure your search
for the ideal candidate is successful.
Is buying online risky?
No. We have a fully secure payment system. We also accept payment by invoice. Monster is a global company listed on NASDAQ.
