Co-branded pages launch on Money & Jobs Channel
Maynard, MA - March 20, 2000 - Monster.com, the leading global careers network and the flagship brand of TMP Worldwide Inc. (NASDAQ: TMPW) today announced the launch of co-branded job search Web pages on ICQ ("I Seek You"), the world's largest online communications community and part of the America Online, Inc., (NYSE: AOL) family of brands.
The launch on ICQ (www.icq.com) is part of the rollout of a four-year relationship announced in December 1999 to bring Monster.com's career management resources directly to cyberspace's largest consumer audience across several key America Online brands.
As part of the new Money&Jobs Channel on ICQ, the co-branded pages (www.icq.monster.com) will give job seekers direct access to Monster.com content and services, including co-branded pages for Monster.com's Resume Builder, Job Search and Post a Job. Job seekers can search for jobs; utilize job search agents, and, in many cases, apply online; submit resumes online; personalize the area to help with their job search; and research companies offering jobs.
This launch follows last week's launch of co-branded pages on AOL.COM and Monster.com job postings on AOL ClassifiedPlus, which is available through various AOL properties.
"As we continue to launch our co-branded pages across AOL's brands, we are excited to offer more and more job seekers access to our resume builder and job search functionality," said Jeff Taylor, CEO of Monster.com. "Our relationship with AOL continues to flourish, combining our career content and tools with their audience reach to bring what we believe is the best in career management resources to the largest Internet audience."
“Monster.com is the leader in the online careers category, and we are happy to offer their job listings and other services to ICQ's 60 million registered users," said Ariel Yarnetsky, co-general manager, ICQ operations.
