MAYNARD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 5, 2001--Monster(R).com, the leading global online careers site and flagship brand of TMP Worldwide (NASDAQ: TMPW) and an official sponsor of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, today officially announced its partnership with Daron Rahlves, an Olympic hopeful in downhill and super giant slalom for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City, Utah. Rahlves recently won the gold medal in the super-G at the World Championships in Austria, becoming the first American to capture the event since the super-G was added to the World Championship schedule in 1987.

Rahlves, 27, a member of the 1998 Olympic and U.S. Alpine Ski Teams, will serve as spokesperson for Monster.com and their sponsorship of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. Named the #1 downhill and super-G skier in the United States, Rahlves represents a true embodiment of Monster's "Never Settle" philosophy towards life and career. Competing in one of the most exciting sports in the world, Rahlves is a person who never settles for anything less than realizing his full potential in pursuit of his dreams. Currently, he is focused on achieving success on its highest stage - The Olympic Winter Games.

"We're extremely excited to have Daron on board as a Monster.com spokesperson for our sponsorship of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City," said Jeff Taylor, CEO of Monster.com. "Monster.com is the champion for your right to a more fulfilling work life, and Daron Rahlves is a living example of how fulfilling work/life can be when you find a career that's challenging, enjoyable, and rewarding. He is a great voice for delivering a positive message that leaves people with a sense of hope and possibility, and we look forward to seeing him go for the gold in Salt Lake City!"

A number of parallels exist between Rahlves' quest for Olympic glory and job seekers' quest for a better career and better life. Risk, sacrifice, and pursuit of dreams are all experienced by job seekers when they look to make significant changes in their personal and professional lives. Daron Rahlves can be a source of motivation for anyone who looks to Monster.com as the first critical step of a journey that will eventually lead to a more fulfilling life.
