Monster.com Launches New Solutions for Job Seekers to Search Anywhere, Anytime
MAYNARD, Mass. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Monster.com,
the leading job matching engine and flagship brand of Monster
Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: MWW), today introduced technology solutions
and user experience features that give job seekers and career minded
professionals the flexibility and convenience they want in searching for
jobs and exploring opportunities. Seekers can now take their job search
on the go with on demand mobile job search.
Search on the go with mobile apps
Monster just released a new job search mobile app for the Android
platform as the latest in a line-up that also includes apps for the iPhone,
iPad,
and iPod touch. The Monster Android app can be downloaded for free on Monster.com
and at the Android
Market, making it easy to keep up with the latest job opportunities
anytime, anywhere. The Monster app for Android puts Monster's advanced
job matching technology in the palm of your hand and provides access to
search for jobs; view and apply; and manage your Monster account,
including accessing previously saved job searches.
New Google Chrome Extension
Monster has also developed a Chrome extension for the Google Chrome
browser. This beta release is available through Google's
Chrome Web Store for the U.S. When a user is browsing using Google
Chrome, the extension will automatically check for jobs posted on
Monster based on the URL visited (e.g., visitors on [nameofcompany.com]
may see jobs from [name of company]). If jobs are found, a Monster
sidebar appears and displays the number of jobs. Users may view the jobs
without navigating away from the site, and then also click to apply on
Monster. The sidebar can list up to 99 jobs that are posted within the
last 7 days. Alternatively, users may also click on the small Monster
icon in the URL bar to go directly to Monster's job search results to
view all jobs for the company.
"Influenced by recent trends in social and mobile, job seekers are
changing the way they engage online. Monster is continuously evaluating
these trends and adapting our products and services to serve job seekers
and, by doing so, extending the reach to our employer customers," said
Vasu Nagalingam, Senior Product Director for consumer platforms at
Monster Worldwide.
