True rip-off
True rip-off! We invested over $3000 to find out that they can't deliver qualified applicants. as far as they are concern any applicants with the word "technician" is qualified as an "automotive technician", and even though a large number of the applicants are from different counties and not legal to work in the US, they still insist that they are delivering applicants. Save your money and look for a company who will actually deliver what they promises or give you your money back ...which they won't!
我通过 Career Builder 找到了工作。我希望它能成为一种职业。但是，我收到外国公司的询问，说他们在网上找到了我的简历。我需要担心这个吗？这些公司是合法的吗？ Career Builder 是否采取措施保护我们的信息？我怀疑这些工作是假的，虽然他们不需要预付款，你也不必买任何东西，但他们要求你做的事情合法吗？您如何确定这是否是真正的就业机会或如何尽快删除我的简历？

I deleted my account because I kept receiving messages from scammers mentioning CareerBuilder. I still get job alerts from them. I had Amy, John Kent, Denise? and then Rosa text me. That's four scammers from Career Builder. I hate Careerbuilder.

BEWARE terrible fraud and scam job site
Uploaded a resume and have received a nonstop stream of scam calls, texts, and emails. The website will not allow me to delete my resume or deactivate my account. It keeps saying I have the wrong password even though I updated it and used it to log in. I tried calling both customer service numbers during their stated working hours and receive a "all offices are closed" message. Stay away.

Utterly disgusted!
I have had and deleted my account with career builder several times. Once again, to no avail, I get calls and emails for jobs not even closely related to my fields of expertise. Conveniently, when I try to delete my account, they claim my password is incorrect and it won’t allow me to delete it. This is not the CareerBuilder of the day when there were no other job search engines and how they stay in business, is beyond me. Never again!

scam artists
Not sure where these condescending people got my email address from, but I'm receiving irrelevant emails asking me to send NI numbers, bank details, passports etc … seems likely they are scam artists - they're opperating under the following names : Broadbean, Cordant Recruitment & Cordant People.

The jobs posted are from months agao and never updated as for how many days the job has been posted for. And I do get out of state employment agencies who have Indian accents but calling from NJ, PA and other states. The jobs they have may be legit but I went on a interview and it was the worse. They email me and call me and I can recognize when they call I do not answer but still they leave voicemail that I delete.

Nothing but fraud and scams
Ever since I sent my resume to Career Builders, I have received nothing but fraudulent responses. When I notify them of these scams they send back a ref#, but then there is no follow-up and no response back when I try to follow-up. I also believe that they are selling my name to other job seeker sites. In my opinion, I would not use Career Builders ever!

Sucks if your a serious Employer looking for serious qualified applicants......save your money and pass on this site. I've had much better luck with Ziprecruiter and Glassdoor.

I agree with Joseph Lauletta
I agree with Joseph Lauletta, I have had the exact same experience. The service is legit and my resume has gone out to many, many other companies in different states and boroughs and it keeps on deflecting me to other job opportunities that appear to be illegitimate.

Stay away
Stay away to protect your info. there are tons of other job posting platforms that don't have these problems. I started getting calls from people with very strong indian accent, all offering me an interview for a job in a field I am not even related anymore. I've been asking all of them where they are getting my information. I thought they were saying Career Vendor. But just realized it was Career Builder because of their automatic email suggesting me same type of jobs.
Deleted my account.

Phishing is commonplace
I give this service a 2 out of 5 as they do provide a legit service. However, I recommend caution when using this website. Yes, Career Builder is legitimate, yet those who read our resumes are not so much. I put my resume on Career Builder and immediately received emails and text messages from illegitimate companies. So, be very careful with all the phishing and scrapping of our personal data on this website. I would suggest only adding minimal personal info on your resume, such as fist/last name (no middle), email, phone, and city/state for your address. This way, real employers can contact you, yet scammers will have too little data to infiltrate your identity.

This is an update on a review I posted prior:
Careerbuilder, in my opinion, has changed dramatically. I no longer use their "trusted site" due to scams & issues dealing with trusting the posts. I have taken my resume down, and really suggest that anyone who uses this site to proceed with caution.

careerbuilder sucks
I'd give Careerbuilder 0 stars if i could. Every time you click on a job that has you "apply on the company website" it takes you through all of these pop ups and just wont let you simply apply for the job. i even had a pop up that automatically installed an internet extension. just let us apply for the job without any popups or complications. never using again.

Invasion of privacy
CareerBuilder is annoying and terrible. I had my resume on there back in my college days. Since then I have never touched it. Now in the past 3 months, I get recruiter emails and phone calls daily. None of which are relevant either. I am in NYC and people from PA and other locations keep reaching out with terrible opportunities. Two weeks ago I removed my resume and deactivated my account yet I am still getting calls and emails daily. I've never had to block so many people from my email before. STOP GIVING OUT INFORMATION WHEN SOMEONE ALREADY DELETED THEIR RESUME AND DEACTIVATED THEIR ACCOUNT.
If you're ever in the job market use Indeed or LinkedIn. CareerBuilder is trash.

Very bad after sales support while selling their product their sales team were calling to me 3 to 4 times in a week, after buying their CB portal I found many glitches in it.
I am trying to find Software Engineer but portal showing me irrelevant job titles and candidates.
I would recommend you to do not buy CB portal instead of CB buy ZipRecruiter and Dice.com
