Account Management FAQs
Setting up your Monster account is easy. Check out our frequently asked questions below to learn how you can do it all – from logging in and customizing your account profile, to updating your candidate apply method and refining your Monster account preferences. You’ll also find out how you can track your inventory and reporting as well as create and manage account users.
Logging In
To reset your password, or set it up for the first time:
- Go to the Monster Sign In page and click on Forgot Password?
- Fill in your email address and click on Proceed to receive an e-mail with a password setup link.
- When you click on the link a tab will open where you can create your new password. Click on Reset Password to save your changes.
Security Questions
If it’s the first time you’re logging in, you will be asked to set up three Security Questions. These questions will be asked if you fill in your password incorrectly multiple times, or when you’re attempting to log in from an unknown location. Choose questions you have a clear and memorable answer for, as you may need to answer them several months later. When clicking Save you will enter your Monster account automatically.
The email containing the password reset link may have dropped into your spam folder. You can move this email to your inbox and open the link to reset your password and don’t forget to set your Spam filters to allow similar Monster emails in future.
When your account becomes blocked due to answering the security questions incorrectly, please contact our Monster Customer Experience Team to re-activate your account. The security questions and/or your password will then be reset depending on your needs.
