How Monster Makes Money • Profitable globally and in the UK • Charge employers to post jobs on site or search CV db (500,000+) • Banners, profiles, Webcasts • Power companies’ career sites, ATS
Online Recruitment – The Future • Job ads moving from newspaper to Internet • Companies need to be cost efficient in hiring, particularly during a down economy • 25% of FTSE 250 companies have no jobs area on their corporate web site; another 25% only rudimentary job postings with no apply online/db • NHS and local government need to address hiring needs locally and globally
HR and Technology • Applicant Tracking Systems, either as ERP add-ons, stand alone software or integrated job boards • HR Managers move from paper and Excel to sophisticated recruitment management systems • HR uses technology to track and onboard candidates, with reporting to display effectiveness • Use of XML for job postings and CVs opens up more fluid connection of HR systems
Better Matching - Understanding Monster Users • The Future is in the Data – better matching to get more targeted, quicker short lists • Capture job seekers’ hard data (CVs) and soft data (ideal company, corporate structure, type of job, comp structure, etc. • Automate the matching process intelligently
