MAYNARD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 6, 2006--Monster(R), the leading global online careers and recruitment resource and flagship brand of Monster Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ: MNST), today announced survey results that demonstrate the success job seekers have had using Monster.
An independent, nationwide survey conducted by comScore Networks reveals that during a six-month timeframe (May-October 2005):
"It is extremely gratifying to see Monster's services delivering such compelling results for today's job seekers and employers," said Brad Baker, Chief Product and Marketing Officer for Monster Worldwide. "comScore's survey findings demonstrate that online recruitment is effective for not only listing jobs, but landing them. This is the ultimate measure of success for our business."
Tens of thousands of recruiters search millions of resumes in Monster's database every month to fill open positions, some of which are not listed or advertised on other online sources or otherwise. Tapping into job seekers who may be open to a new position but are not actively looking for one is among the key benefits of Monster's resume search feature for employers.
"Monster continues to redefine the way recruiting is done today," explains Baker. "Resume database searching represents a new mindset for recruiting that is becoming increasingly popular and effective, and is indicative of how Monster makes it easier, faster and more cost-effective to find - and hire - the quality candidates employers demand," explains Baker.
