More on Monster
Here's the good part;
Obviously, there is not going to be much of a near-term impact on Monster's business, but the long-term impact could be substantial. This is because some recruiters are growing frustrated with trying to find high-quality talent on Monster, where a job posting may get hundreds of responses, but few responders may actually be qualified for the job.
Recruiter Scott Teger made this point in a discussion at 37signals: "Monster.com is playing the numbers game. In my experience, we've probably posted 15 jobs on Monster.com, received probably close to 1000 applications, and found NOT ONE qualified person. I'm sure it works for someone, because they are around and profitable, but it seems when you're looking for a position that requires talent (not just knowing how to do something), it's the wrong place." The problem is the same for prospective job seekers -- the huge amount of jobs offered makes it difficult for seekers to find jobs that fit their skills and more importantly, their interests.
