We were swindled by a very convincing sales rep to join them in our search for our next needed job opening. Once we signed on the dotted line - all support disappeared! I have called and emailed countless times with no word back from anyone. My job got ZERO qualified candidates - and every candidate they "recommended" was not even in the right field!! This is the biggest scam going! They need to be shut down!
This scam website, sells the data to offshore recruiters. Even after removing my profile I am inundated with scam phone calls and emails.
This used to be a trust worthy site. I am inundated with scammers all day long. I even called their corporate office. They don’t care at all. I’m taking down my info and tell everyone I can.
SCAM ALERT !!!! Stay far away. They will try to take your personal information and sell it to the black market and also take your money. Dont give them any information. I was receiving texts from unknown numbers and requesting to use telegram! Why? Because in telegram you can delete all the evidence and everything that was sent from you and them can be erased. I REPEAT SCAM!!!! Use indeed instead.
I removed my info from Career Builder. They are the only job board that I've had issues with scammers. I received a ton of calls from Pakistan or India posing as legitimate job placement agencies and speaking rapidly. After I wasted time with the first caller and realized they were trying to scam cash I figured out what was going on. Unfortunately that was the first call of many. I've reported this activity to the correct government agency.
I just signed up via the google button and added my resume for a job a family member sent me, but I didn't finish my profile because the job I was sent didn't look good. Well, now when I go on the CareerBuilder site to delete my resume it says I have NO resumes and when I try and delete my account it says that the password is not correct! Also, when trying to unsubscribe it will not save and resubs to everything again. I'm getting text's and emails from "companies" yet the site says I have no info and resume on my account. What a complete scam this site is.
I like many of the features in Careerbuilder, but the recommendations they send based on my resume don't make sense most of the time as they are for positions which have no relevance to my prior work history.
starting to get random text to download suspicious websites. also a lot of unwanted emails to jobs I didnt post for. I had my settings set up where no random person could get my information.
If I could give no stars, I would. After signing up on this site, my phone has been bombarded with people from India calling me about "job opportunities". You go to "Apply on company site" and it redirects you to paid surveys. Run for the hills....this site is B.S.
As of today, I will not be using CareerBuilder. It is full of scammers. The most recent change I made to my resume for the CareerBuilder was at the top a *Note*. Don't text me and I don't do messaging interviews. I continue to get texts. On the last from someone who said they were with Johnson and Johnson. I told her to email me. Just like other scammers, I get an email with all of the different positions available. Despite the fact, I'm looking for a sales position. The email return address wasn't J&J but a Gmail account. The Positions available are: Data Entry, Clerical Admin, Administrative Assistant, Medical Billing/Coding, Customer Service, Accounting, Payroll Clerk, Typist Clerk,Management. Which Position do you prefer? Thanks, Sandra. Send me an email from Johnson & Johnson email address. Otherwise, I assume this is a scam. I didn't get another email "Scam" I also saw where CareerBuilder attempted to become a publicly-traded company in 1999. But Wall Street saw through its attempt to fool the public.
I try to give this website no stars, I have been overwhelmed with the fraudulent emails that comes in and now I’m receiving this odd texts stating to download Skype for an interview. This is my second request to do so. This is unbelievable
Very bad company, will share your information, STAY AWAY! got a lot of scam calls after posting my resume on their website! customer service is poor, there is nothing positive about this company !
I had contacted a person by name Mr.John Johal, he was very pathetic, i was asking information about there services, he was only interested to sell there product, he was not professional, very pathetic service
Bad company! I would not recommend CareerBuilder. The employer portal is not user-friendly, no communication from the account manager and the sales associate was a liar! spend your money wisely on a different recruiting platform! not worth the headache!
HORRIBLE layout and irrelevant jobs. Little window in bottom left of screen to see jobs. REALLY? What imbecile thought this was a good design???? They have gone downhill with every un-needed design the last 5 years, just like monster.
Since using Careerbuilder in Jan 2022, I get TONS of porn spam, and repetitive scammers that go the distance texting me with legit conversation. Today's 2/7/22 was a company named Homestead Reception Center in Tullula, IL. They wanted me on Skype for an INSTANT MESSAGE interview which seemed odd to me - No face-to-face. I went along with it, and they asked me about 18 pretty legit questions. Once finished she had to "verify it with the Head Department" which seemed odd to me because what's the "Head Department?" I waited the 7-10 mins for her to return, and she said I was perfect. Her next msg asked my full name, address, email & direct cell #. During my 18 questions she asked for my cell phone company which I did provide. She wanted to get me "registered in the database" with the last 4 questions. I didn't answer those, and instead wrote: OK, but will there be a standard face-to-face interview? She wrote: Not really... They have a 1 page website & while answering questions I looked for them on BBB but found nothing. I also called the number on the website: 217.502.0019 which had a homey husband & wife outgoing message. I blocked my number when calling, and the call was "DECLINED." (This company says they do events/weddings in IL & the only things clickable are email addresses.) I then wrote: I would like to ensure this is valid by having the standard interview if possible. At which point she never wrote again. I screenshot entire convo while waiting the 10 mins for the "Head Dept" to approve me even though never meeting me. ugh... I'm reporting to FTC & my local police station per online directions. Has anyone else heard of this scam, especially with this particular company Homestead Reception Center?
Easy to use. However, I wish there was a wider choice of tasks
I have been overwhelmed with Scams from Career Builder while looking for employment. I need real employment and can't find a real legitimate job. Trinity Homes got my driver's license and Vox Finances asked me to set up an Etrade account and send them the Username and password. Why is Career Buider not doing more to stop this?
The first I heard about this was when a recruiter said they got my information from them. I've never signed up nor heard of them before this so I've no idea how they got my information. I've logged a complaint about this but have heard nothing back at all.
CareerBuilder will sell your information to a bunch of scammers, and you will receive mass amounts of spam emails forever. Do not use CareerBuilder.
