Pros

Great UI: For an app that does so much, the CareerBuilder Job Search mobile app is easy to navigate. The default Search page is where job seekers search job openings by keyword, location, or category. The My Jobs tab is where all of your Saved, Applied to, and Expired job postings sit. The Job Recs tab is where your job recommendations are stored, and the Resumes tab is a resume database for your CVs.

Easy resume upload: Job candidates can either build a resume or CV from scratch in this Monster competitor app or upload a PDF or .doc from your phone, Dropbox, or Google Drive account instantly. Then you can quickly apply to many job postings in one tap. Or with a public resume, you can just kick back and let hiring managers, recruiters, potential employers, and companies come to you with exciting job opportunities.

Up-to-date listings: No one wants to get excited about a job listing and click it only to find out that it's no longer available. Fortunately, the CareerBuilder Job Search app keeps its listings fresh, so you can feel confident that you're not wasting your time with expired postings.

Customizable job searching: You can search jobs based on job title, keywords, company, or location in the Search page search bar. Or if you're not entirely sure what you're looking for, you can search by categories, such as Jobs Near Me, Part-time Jobs, $20/hour+ jobs, or Work From Home jobs.

Powerful filters: You can narrow your job search results by relevance, date, distance, and company; date posted, from 24 hours to 30 days ago; distance, from five to 50 miles; employment type, from Intern to Full-Time; Annual pay; Category; and Company. You can also toggle "Careerbuilder apply" to on, so you can easily apply for job opportunities in the app, and turn on Include nationwide jobs, so you can include jobs in other areas in your results.

Quick Apply to jobs: For some jobs, you'll have to apply on company websites, but on others, you'll be able to apply in the app with one tap. Just look for the Quick Apply button under job listings to easily find these positions.

Recommendations: If you set up a profile and upload a resume, then the CareerBuilder Job Search app can serve you with relevant jobs via job alerts, and after you apply for jobs, show you similar jobs, so you can keep your momentum going.

Application management: With CareerBuilder's robust application management tool, you can easily view your application history and save jobs to apply for later.

Cons

Unsolicited emails: Customers have complained that job recommendations coming to your inbox have little to do with your resume, experience, or education and of being the target of spammy emails from third-party scammers who get your contact info from CareerBuilder and misuse it.

Bottom Line

CareerBuilder's Job Search for iPhone app makes job discovery, application submission, and application tracking easy.
