Yes, Monster offers a variety of reports to employers. Due to the specific needs of each employer, we’ve removed the reports once accessed from My Account. Now they are available upon request. Just contact us to enter a ticket and let us know what type of information you are looking for.

When you create a job, you’ll have an opportunity to include an auto-reply letter that will be sent to Job Seekers who apply to your job ad via Monster’s Apply Online feature. You can either select a letter from your Hiring Library or create a new letter. If you choose an existing letter, you can send it as it is, or customize if for the job ad. If you create a new letter, or update an existing letter, you can save it for future use by selecting the Save Letter to Hiring Library option.

You can also add an auto-reply letter to your job ad after your job has been created. Simply click the edit link associated with the ad on the Manage Job ads page, followed by the Auto-Reply tab. You can then choose an existing letter or create a new letter to include with your ad. You can also stop sending a letter that’s included with a ad on this page.

Letters can be viewed, edited, and created independently of a job ad by hovering over Your Account and selecting Hiring Library. Options are on the left side of the screen.

Step-by-step instructions:

If you have not written any auto-response letters yet:

1. Create a job as usual.

2. Choose Auto-Reply Letter from the “Get more out of your job ad!” section.

3. To create a letter either select New Letter and write one, or use one of the Saved Letters.

4. Click Add Letter.

5. You can click on the Home tab and the Auto-reply letter should be added to the job ad.

If you have already used an auto-response letter before:

1. Create a job ad as usual.

2. Complete the first two pages and click Continue.

3. If you wish to create a screening questionnaire, do so here. If not, click Skip.

4. To create a letter either select New Letter and write one, or use a Saved Letter.

5. Click Continue.

6. Finish the ad as usual.

If you would like to save this job ad for future use, check the box next to “Save Job to Hiring Library.”

All the information you have entered in this job ad will be saved to your Hiring Library and can be edited at any time.

Once a job has been saved to your library, you can reuse the saved information when you create a job at a later date. To use a job from your library for this job ad, simply select it from the drop-down list at the top of this page (If you’ve not previously saved a job to your library, the drop-down list will not be included).

The Hiring Library is where you can store copies of the Job Ads and Letters you create while using Monster.

You can reach the Hiring Library by going to Your Account > Hiring Library. You can use this space to view, edit, copy or delete the saved jobs and letters, or to create new jobs and letters.

Spoofs and phishing are email scams where the “from address” has been forged to appear as if it came from somewhere, or someone, other than the actual source. Both scams attempt to obtain data from you, such as personal identification and account information. The message may imply that there are issues with your account and that your response is required.

Often, a link will be included to a spoof website, where you will be asked to provide personal/account information, or update your existing account with new data. Providing this sensitive data can put you and your accounts at risk. Even if you don’t provide the data being requested, do not click on the link provided in the email. By doing so, you may be susceptible to computer viruses and the installation of key logging programs. Key logging is another method used to obtain personal data by recording everything you type.

Email spoofs, or phishing emails, are usually sent out to a general spam list. Even if the email appears to have originated from a Monster email address, or another known Internet address, you should be very cautious if the email is asking you for personal identification or account information. Please be aware that these emails do not come from Monster and should be disregarded.
