CareerBuilder Arvostelua 20 776

Careerbuilder was once a decent place to find a job, but no longer is that true. After posting my resume I received dozens of fraudulent job opportunities that were clearly phishing scams, identity theft and malware. Using all the applicant information culled from Careerbuilder, cyber thieves posted links and phony company information requesting that applicants desiring interviews needed to open Whatsapp and Discord messenger apps. The emails and texts were nonstop and not one genuine job opportunity was ever revealed. The cyber thieves used well known corporate names to ensnare job hunters. I also received nuisance text messages. Careerbuilder is not secure and there is no support to avoid or correct these problems.

Careerbuilder.com engages in deceptive business practices to inflate the number of users that appeared to use their site.
For well over 2 years, my resume on careerbuilder.com was saved as "not visible to recruiters". I have gotten 50 to 100 recruiter and fake job emails and calls a day during that time. I have blocked many calls and sent many emails to my spam folders.
I kept logging in to careerbuilder.com to check; however my resume was set to "private" and not visible to recruiters. I thought it couldn't be the reason
Finally, I started emailing recruiters back, asking how they got my resume and contact information. Only a few responded, several of them told me careerbuilder.com. (others told me dice.com which was also set to private).

One recruiter who'd found my private info on careerbuilder.com added that he could see my resume from 2019 (which was set to private, of course) AND that I last logged in 19 days ago.

I was chilled, frightened and disturbed. Immediately I logged into careerbuilder and deleted my entire profile. (I also did this with Dice.com)
That was well over two weeks ago and I am still getting emails and calls - I have continued asking all these people how they saw my resume. Recruiters are still contacting me and telling me they found my resume there... this has been a nightmare, a burden, and an invasion of privacy.

I too deleted my account with them a few years ago as I became disabled and moved out of state, yet I still received “job opportunities” from “employers” constantly that say they’ve gotten my resume from CareerBuilder, which hasn’t been updated since 2017. Furthermore, there is no way to contact CareerBuilder to fix this, so I’m still getting annoying emails, but had to change my cell phone number so the calls and texts (I would get these texts that listed my name and address from random numbers, which was very creepy) would stop.

CareerBuilder is continuing to put my resume and information out to employers after I have repeatedly asked them to delete my account and stop notifying employers that I am looking for a job. I have confirmation that I requested and went through their steps to delete my account, profile, and any information on me in April. Even worse, I am still getting fraudulent calls and fake employers attempting to contact me everyday. A real company reached out to me this morning (8/26) and said they got my number and resume from CareerBuilder (so I know its still CareerBuilder). Further, CareerBuilder opened several accounts with my information with several other job hunting companies. I have cancelled with no less than 3 other job hunting companies (who knows how many companies have my information now).
CareerBuilders does not protect their customer's privacy, or honor customer's wishes, and they never fix their mistakes. They should be shut down!

I deleted my career builder account a few years ago and I STILL get emails from companies with vague job offers and they site careerbuilder as the source for my information. I removed my information before closing my account. Do not sign up, feels super unsafe!

Career builders deals in age discrimination. They have called me about 5 times and as soon as they know my age the hang up on me.

I signed up on CareerBuilder less than a couple of weeks ago, and immediately starting receiving emails from people I cannot pronounce and the one's that I talked to either I can't understand their English or have a hard to understanding them. No way would I allow one of these guys to be a recruiter for me. Bottom line, I eliminated my account in a matter of hours, but continuously getting a number of these so call recruiters contacting me everyday. Some with vagued job descriptions. These supposedly recruiters that are contacting me are the type of recruiter that I do not trust!!!

I don't know what happen in those first few hours signing up with CarreerBuilder, but I wish I never had!!!

Every single job sends you to surveys and scams, not ACTUAL jobs. I'm trying to get a job with steady income not target gift cards.

Whatever you do, stay far away from this website. Do not give them any personal information.
Nothing but scam job offers and phishing emails. You’ll have to change your email address because they come from different sources, so blocking doesn’t help. Even if you request that CareerBuilder does not share your data, your info is already floating around out there.

Every "job opportunity" is just a link to a website that wants your info for "paid" surveys or will want you to sign up for multiple 3rd party websites before even allowing you to look at the companies website.

If you ever make it to the website, it is always clearly not an official website and will have an extremely cheap video explaining why you should give them money to sign you up for ANOTHER list that MAY have job opporunities.

Then the cycle repeats. This website is for scammers, nothing else. Any credibility it had they gave up, if there ever was any.

This is literally the worst site ever. I tried applying for a job listing through Careerbuilders and they asked for my information before I could apply. Now I don't stop getting scam job listings and phishing emails and text messages.

Getting a lot of solicitations for call center jobs, which is not at all what I am looking for. It seems that very few good jobs are listed on this site. I will be looking elsewhere.

Career builder did not help me, while I was looking for a job. I did find one on my own I am in the IT field, which i clearly explained that to career builder, but yet in their wisdom, they sent me emails with with the subjecy Insurance salesman...what kind of inept bulls** is that?

This is a scam website. Once you start clicking down into the rabbit hole of apply now links and submit your resume your email starts flooding with scammer affiliated links to bogus online interviews and more clickbait scam links.

Screw this website. Scam. Won’t stop calling about fake jobs. Won’t let me delete account either. Awful, stay away!

We have used other job posting services for many years and wanted to give CareerBuilder a try. Very disappointed as an employer. We received more than 150 resumes in 2 weeks and not a single candidate met our qualifications, not sure how this was even possible!

Total scammers, harassing emails every day, requested full data deletion which they confirmed had been done, yet am still receiving daily emails - will be filing a complaint with the ICO

I had to delete my account after months of having it up. I feel uncomfortable knowing my resume was up to the public through there for so long. I get texts constantly about jobs but no one can ever really respond what they are about. Having my number and email out there through a site like this was stupid.
