Human Capital Institute and Monster Canada Announce Agreement

The Human Capital Institute (HCI), a global professional association and educator in talent management strategies, and Monster Canada, Canada’s career management portal, have announced that Monster Canada will support HCI initiatives as a global underwriter, helping bring the latest human capital education, metrics, and tools to leading corporations.

Monster Canada is a Platinum sponsor of the Montreal City Summit, hosted by HCI and McGill University. The Summit, which will take place October 19, 2006, is aimed at exploring the challenges and opportunities Quebec faces on the North American and global stages. The full-day event will feature keynote speakers as well as moderated panels in several topic areas of critical importance to Quebec’s future, including demographics, globalization, and the role of knowledge and education.

Monster Canada will also sponsor five of HCI’s B-School breakfast events, held in partnership with leading Canadian universities and aimed at providing the business community with the opportunity to network and hear the latest strategies and practices to effectively manage talent.

In addition, Monster Canada will enhance HCI’s member resources by providing access to its extensive recruitment resources.

As a result of the agreement, HCI will in turn provide corporate membership, with access to associated education, resources, and tool sets, to Monster Canada employees and select Monster Canada client companies.

The alliance between HCI and Monster Canada enables us to reach out to more organizations in Canada, providing them with the talent management tools they need to build competitive advantage, said Allan Schweyer, HCI’s President and Executive Director. We appreciate Monster’s support.

We’re pleased to enter into an agreement with HCI that allows us to combine our resources for greater reach. We look forward to providing more companies in Canada with a rich array of talent management resources, said Gabriel Bouchard, Vice President and General Manager of Monster Canada.
