It's better than Monster IMO. For me linkedin and dice is where it is at, for high tech sales job. I just applied for Silicon Valley and 30 minutes later, off of dice, I have an interview. 1/3 or less of my good interviews have come from CB. YMMV
Ah, good point. I saw a little blurb about how they collected data but it seemed "fluffy" at best. Guess it doesn't really make any difference since their statistics are based on popularity and not product. Even more reason not to single them out for special mention as I mentioned in my post.
The original poster was questioning if careerbuilder was overlooked or underrated. It's not some uncommon website that's unknown to the masses of unemployed. It won't be a revelation at the job club.
I posted my resume there a couple of years ago. To this day I am contacted by crap jobs, total waste of time.
That's why I no longer post my resume. I rather pick and choose who gets my number by applying for preferred employers. Unfortunately, some recruiters will download your contact info to their own databases. They continue to call, after your resume is removed.

My issue with indeed is that some of the job postings are outdated. But in regards to Careerbuilder it seems to not be mentioned as much as monster, craigslist, and indeed.
CareerBuilder and Monster post these outdated jobs too. Let's be fair to all parties. As for jobs, I find Indeed better for recent college graduates than CareerBuilder and Monster are. If you are a more experienced job seeker, you are likely to find all three even.
FYI a lot of scams come through putting resumes on CareerBuilder as well as insurance sales companies like Banker and Aflac.

I'm referring to being able to see the new posted jobs in the last 24 hours on CB and just uploading a resume to apply instead of completing a online application

The other thing I constantly get are offshore recruiters constantly emailing me to see if I'd be interested in some crappy 3 month long temp job 1000 miles from where I live.

Yeah they need some cultural training. I get the random blast e-mails with bad grammar, cheesy homemade website, and no linkedin profile. Yeah right I am giving you my personal info
