Monster Worldwide launches Monster Government Solutions(MGS)

A new initiative to provide full service recruitment solutions for HR management in government

The Excel Exhibition Centre, London, 14th September, 2004 - Today, at the Public Sector People Management Exhibition, Monster Worldwide incorporating TMP Worldwide, a leading government recruitment specialist and Monster.co.uk, the leading online careers site, announces the launch of Monster Government Solutions (MGS), a new initiative to help the public sector recruit more efficiently.

MGS combines proven US technologies from Monster with award-winning employer communications from TMP Worldwide, a sister division to Monster.co.uk. The solution has been specifically designed to provide the public sector with the best single resource to communicate an employment offering both on and offline, and to help government to recruit and retain the best possible talent.

The public sector is becoming more and more aware of the major skills shortage in key areas and for some years there have been problems recruiting key professionals in government. Today, workers in the public sector across the UK find they have vacancies at every level in every function and certain sectors are desperately lacking planners, project managers, accountants, IT people, environment health officers and even personnel officers, comments Phil Owers, Managing Director of Monster Government Solutions, UK.

MGS is therefore proactively addressing this recruitment crisis in the public sector by offering the government an efficient way to recruit the best possible candidates, he adds.

In addition, MGS has a unique end-to-end Performance Cycle, which is already employed by over 100 US government agencies. Everything within the Performance Cycle is measurable, which means that companies can benefit from accurate feedback, analysis and improvement, enabling users to stay one step ahead in achieving key targets.
