Monster and Adicio form strategic recruitment services alliance

Monster, the global online careers and recruitment resource and flagship brand of Monster Worldwide, Inc, and Adicio Inc., the provider of interactive classified advertising software for media companies, today announced an alliance to facilitate access to Monster recruitment services. Through the alliance, Adicioís 250 clients will be able to utilize Monsterís industry-leading tools and resources in ways that best suit their respective needs. In addition, Adicio will provide backend technology support and data conversion for media companies choosing to align with Monster for recruitment services.

ìTodayís announcement represents a tremendous opportunity to increase Monsterís localized points of distribution across the country ñ which is a key component of our strategy to drive market share, particularly among the small and medium-sized business segment,î said Doug Klinger, president, Monster North America. ìLocal media companies, and technology companies like Adicio, are choosing to work with Monster because of our high brand awareness; the quality and depth of our products and services; and our ability to attract quality job seekers.î

Adicio clients may elect to engage in a full co-branded partnership with Monster to leverage Monsterís brand recognition, national reach and leading search and match technology. Alternatively, Adicio media partners can offer advertisers the option of posting particular jobs on Monster from the Adicio Careers platform ñ for national reach and greater local exposure ñ and can provide seekers the opportunity to expand their search to see the matches Monster provides.

As part of the deal, Monster customers will be able to purchase print advertising from Adicio media partners later this year via Monsterís new ìclick to printî service ñ where online ads can be easily transformed into print.

ìAligning with Monster allows us to offer our clients industry-leading solutions that help them best serve their audiences and continue to be competitive in the changing recruitment landscape,î said Rick Miller, president and CEO, Adicio. ìMonster creates win-win situations with its media partners, enabling them to leverage Monsterís brand recognition and national reach while offering the greatest value to job seekers and employers.î

Moving forward, Adicio will handle the technology integration for media companies choosing to work with Monster to ensure seamless transitions for employers and job seekers. Adicio will coordinate implementation and integration, including data conversion of resumes, employer accounts and job seeker agents. Adicio will also provide phone and online technical support, training assistance and other services, including job wrapping, in support of Monsterís media alliances.
