RecentlyPostedJobs vs Monster
Why RecentlyPostedJobs is better than Monster at finding newly posted software, data science and AI jobs.
A legacy general job board. Wide catalog, weak first-posted signal for software requisitions.
| When you are looking | Monster | RecentlyPostedJobs |
|---|---|---|
| Where jobs come from | Monster employer and agency posts | Probed career portals |
| What “new” means | Monster posting date | First-seen last 7 days |
| Same job posted again | Re-upload looks new | Requisition id blocks it |
| Where you apply | Monster or employer | Employer job page |
| Role mix | All occupations | Software, data science, and AI |
What Monster is
Monster is a classic destination board: employers and agencies post, candidates keep resumes on file, and recency is whatever the posting UI stores. It is built for every occupation, not for watching Workday and Greenhouse clocks.
Why that is a weaker way to find new jobs
Software roles on Monster are easy to bury under unrelated occupations and resume-database products. Dates are posting dates on Monster, not the employer’s first-published ATS field, so a “new” card can be an old req that someone re-uploaded.
Why RecentlyPostedJobs is better
- We only list software, data science, and AI from career sites we have actually probed.
- Original posted date is an ATS timestamp, not a Monster upload time.
- No resume database and no employer-search-of-your-CV product.
- The week’s specialty, city, and remote pages are live queries of first-seen rows.
- Software search is not a resume-database upsell. The page is the week’s new technical reqs.
- An old requisition re-uploaded to Monster never re-enters our new feed.
