Monster: All HotJobs papers have migrated
(Updated Feb. 28)
Earlier today, we posted the Monster Worldwide news release that it had completed its integration with Yahoo HotJobs, and that all HotJobs traffic was now being referred to Monster.com.
One of the things we wondered about was, had they completed the migration of all Yahoo HotJobs newspaper affiliates as well?
Short answer: Yes.
“We are 100 percent migrated,” Monster spokesman Matt Henson told us.
UPDATE: We thought there was some attrition of Yahoo HotJobs affiliate newspapers that elected not to sign with Monster.com (or where Monster elected not to re-sign with the newspaper, for some reason), but Matt Henson of Monster.com told us today (Feb. 28) that “there has been no attrition and all HJ papers [have moved] to Monster.” That’s a remarkable feat, given that there were several highly competitive markets … that we heard about a lot of papers that were considering jumping ship … and that it was a Herculean task to get all of those papers migrated. So Lauren Chacon and her team deserve kudos.

Great jobs: Monster now hiring
Here are several terrific high-level executive jobs (and a bunch more openings) that many of you, our readers, might qualify for. Consider this cross-post a holiday present for you (and watch for the launch of an AIM Group job board in early 2010).
Monster.com is looking for a VP of advertising sales. The company says the candidate must “adapt well to change” — a necessary qualification for anyone in recruitment or dot-coms these days — and needs at least 10 years of sales experience with five years of “relevant management experience.” The posting also requests five years in online media and at least three years of sales of “online lead generation.”
Total revenue responsibility exceeds $100 million a year. The job is based in New York.
Monster wants someone with “a demonstrated understanding of client marketing objectives with experience planning, negotiating and closing large, complex deals.”
The posting doesn’t specify a cutoff date for applications, but it came across our desk just today (Dec. 24). It was posted on Tuesday.
Monster has a total of 139 job postings shown, including a VP / GM of healthcare and a VP of global user experience. And tons of sales jobs. Here’s a link to the full list (all six pages of it!).
Maybe the new year will bring you a great new job — or happiness and lots more money in your current job!
Monster launches career site for gray haired men
Here’s a wacky mashup that actually has a business model. Monster.com and hair coloring experts Just for Men have launched a new Web site and career guide aimed at men over forty who are presumably concerned about their growing gray hair. The site is called a Monster “Special Career Building Exclusive.”
The site plays up 40+ men’s concern over job security and finding a new position in today’s economy. The site is going away an e-book called “The Guy’s Guide to Reenergizing Your Career”.
And, oh yes, if you think that darker hair will help you win that next job, there are coupons for products at Just for Men.
The two companies are even running a TV ad where a daughter gives her father a box of Just for Men as he laments over his upcoming interview. Later, he comes home, hair darker, confident that he got the job. He gets a hug from his loving daughter.
All of the links on the site (except for the Just for Men ads) go to the Monster.com “Career Advice” pages. You can always click the main Monster header to go to the Monster.com home page.
ComScore: CareerBuilder, HotJobs, Monster still tops
A new report from ComScore says that 65 million Americans visited the “career services and development category” in June – a 10 percent increase versus a year ago. Seven of the top ten sites in the category achieved double-digit gains during that period.
At the top of the bunch is CareerBuilder with 21.7 million unique visitors, followed by Yahoo HotJobs with 17.9 million visitors (up 23 percent vs. year ago) and Monster.com with 14.5 million visitors (up 6 percent).
In fourth place, Indeed grew 59 percent to 8 million visitors, Job.com sites were up 46 percent to 7.4 million visitors, and SnagAJob increased 48 percent to 4.7 million visitors.
The next four on the list were Simply Hired, JobsOnline.net, OPM and Brassring.com.
ComScore also asked which were the top searched for occupations in the careers category. “Customer service” came out on top with 273,000 people searching on that term in the category in June, followed by “warehouse” (257,000 searchers) and “sales” (217,000 searchers).
Free job site scans thousands of RSS feeds
A new recruitment site with a friendly Craigslist-style name – Nat’s Jobs.com – aims to make it easier for jobseekers to weed through the plethora of job boards available. The site scans thousands of RSS feeds from government, recruiting Web sites, agencies and corporation sites. Users submit their e-mail address and receive a customized job report, which usually contains hyperlinks to more than 100 new job postings per day. The site searches many of the big job boards including Monster.com and Workopolis.
The site has been live five weeks and has about 20,000 unique visitors per day – not too shabby.
The service is free for the first two weeks. If users don’t find a job within those two weeks and still want to receive the hyperlinks to the original job postings, they must purchase a subscription, which costs 2 cents per day. However, users can continue to receive a free e-mail that simply lists what jobs are available without the hyperlinks.
How can Nat’s Jobs stay in business with a subscription fee of less than $1.00 a month? That’s not the aim. The site was founded by Nathalie Wilson as a personal project to help her find a job. Her husband is a computer engineer who built a program for his wife. Now she’s offered that to the public.
