Monster Heating Up Job Boards Battle

Job boards stand to gain tremendously over the next several years, and the competition between two of the top sites, Monster and CareerBuilder, will increase along with those markets. For CareerBuilder affiliates. To date, Times still has its CareerBuilder logo in place, so it looks like the switch has not happened yet. The rationale for the change beyond a statement from Times director for electronic publishing has not been disclosed. However, Classified Intelligence claimed the old standby, money, played a role: ...we have heard that Monster has been offering attractive deals that include economic terms significantly better than what CareerBuilder has been willing to make to its non-owner affiliates. Equally important is that Monster has been remarkably flexible in how the newspaper job sites can be branded. The job boards market seems ready to accelerate on the growth charts.
