During September and Oct 2008, I was an energetic user of the Experteer.com premium membership and this is my genuine comments and review on their products and services.
DISCLAIMER: I’m not affiliated in any way to any recruiting business, occupation portal, HR company or Headhunter. The ideas shared here are just from my particular experience. Any recommendation is based just on my opinion and almost nothing else.
The world wide web / Usability… Alright
In typical I would have to say that I am pleased with the usability of the website. Filling the varieties and getting into the facts of your profile is quick and intuitive. The highly developed search criterion and further filtering capabilities are certainly quite neat. The internet lets you refine lookup success by wage, km away from your base metropolis, State and a scoring process. It does not have as a lot of capabilities and options like Monster, but I would say It’s Ok.
Exposure to headhunters… Seriously?
One of the issues they advertise is that Experteer is the place exactly where all headhunters in Europe occur to search for candidates… Very well, this could be true or not, but the only matter I can notify you is what happened to my profile: It was seen 1 (certainly, 1) time by a headhunter through the 2 months of I was subscribed to their assistance. Just to make clear, I had 100% of my profile completed (so there was no excuse to exclude me or down-rank me because my profile was incomplete). If there is one thing they will need to perform on, I would say is this stage: they want to get more recruiters/headhunters to use their services.
Accessibility to “hidden” delivers…NO
A single significant factor is that they do not have accessibility (at the very least in my working experience) to special or offline occupation prospects in other text, every little thing you will be in a position to discover on Experteer is by now on the internet. This is an significant clarification simply because several specialised headhunters, and a lot more exclusively in the 60.000EUR+ work sector, do have positions that are either distinctive for them or are not currently being marketed.
Obtain to actual 60.000EUR+ task provides?… Sure
This is certainly a single of the number of but crucial beneficial items I bought out of their assistance: They do have a wide, current and actual base of position features featuring salaries 60.000EUR+ not like other online recruiters. Of course you will locate at some point some broken backlinks or features that show up in lookup success, but have expired, but I would say this transpired in a tiny share of time. A tough estimation would be that 90%-95% of the offers that surface on their lookup final results are real, have not expired and are in fact 60.000EUR+ positions
As a summary, I would say that if you have a whole lot of time to exploration (perhaps if you happen to be unemployed), it may possibly not make perception to shell out for the quality subscription provided that most of what you can come across you could discover it on your own. On the other hand, if you do not have a lot time or maybe are however employed, you could possibly not get unique or provides but you can help save some time looking into… and if you might be earning more than 60.000EUR for every year, it could well worth a try out for 25EUR a month.
