Maynard, MA – April 24, 2000 – Monster.com, the leading global online careers site and flagship brand of the Interactive Division of TMP Worldwide (NASDAQ: "TMPW"; ASX: "TMP"), today announced a record milestone of seven million registered job seekers on the site. This milestone, combined with Media Metrix findings for the month of March, highlight Monster.com's leadership position in the online careers industry.
Monster.com's job seeker accounts skyrocketed by one million new registered accounts in the past month. Furthermore, Monster.com reported a breakthrough figure for its resume database, now containing more than 3.4 million unique resumes and over 380,000 unique job opportunities from thousands of companies.
According to independent research conducted by Media Metrix for the month of March, Monster.com continues to lead the online recruiting industry as the number one destination for career seekers and one of the top 100 most visited Web sites overall on the Internet.
