Monster news: afterthoughts

- What is the current theoretical value of 50% of career one? Any guesses?
- Sounds like this is take 2 of ‘feed the monster’ strategy (with resumes, that is) which might just put another local resume database product out there
- I guess the product and tech guys at C1 if any, are now gone / redeployed to other properties? Therefore, only local sales teams? Any local systems support people? Hope they ensure the service does not deteriorate
- Will there be a s**t fight for the revenue of the proposed offline/online product bundle
- Careermonster – or Monsterone – might go back in rankings before it gets back to number 2 or better
- The new site might be cheaper to run, therefore more profitable operation

    Jorge- the value of out dated resumes? very little, because- no conversation going on right? old style push business model. good, let us watch and be happy that old mentality goes away while you and I enable conversation

    Hello Kev! merry xmas and all that

    I take your point re. dated cv’s – job boards are in the ad distribution business tho, not in the candidate relationship management business; so the value of a job board might be more directly measured to their book of clients, and (agghh) ‘eyeballs’, rather than applicant satisfaction, however measured

    I do believe though there is room for a model, likely enabled by social web, that will have to happen at recruitment process level, not at job posting stage.
