Monster Adds PayPal Functionality for Online Recruiting Services

Monster, the global online careers and recruitment resource and flagship brand of Monster Worldwide, Inc, and PayPal, today announced PayPal will be available as a payment method on Monsterís eCommerce site. Monster becomes the first of leading online recruitment sites to offer PayPal, a leading global online payment method that enables customers to pay for items using their bank accounts, credit cards, stored PayPal balance or PayPal Buyer Credit - without sharing their financial information with recipients.

Monster remains committed to making it easier for customers, especially small businesses, to work with us, and the addition of PayPal is another step toward allowing employers to effortlessly access our recruitment resources, said Brad Baker, president of product, technology and service at Monster. We continue to enhance our eCommerce channel to offer tools and services that expedite the entire recruitment process, from posting the job, to screening applicants, to paying for services rendered.

We are excited to add Monster.com, the largest online career site and a pioneer in its category, to the roster of merchants who accept PayPal, said Stephanie Tilenius, vice president of merchant services for PayPal. PayPal works with merchants of all sizes, all over the world. Now, those merchants can use their PayPal accounts to help them find their most important assets - qualified employees.

Millions of merchants already use PayPal to accept payments for their e-commerce sites. Now it is even more convenient for merchants to use the funds already stored in their PayPal accounts to help them staff their businesses for the new year with Monsterís recruiting services.

Monster chose to integrate PayPal functionality into its eCommerce site as part of the companyís continued focus on personalizing the recruiting experience to help employers effectively target the proper candidates. Time is often at a premium for small business owners, and by affording the ability for employers to pay for Monsterís recruitments products online, employers will now have a more resourceful and cost-effective tool to enhance the recruitment process.
