Monstermoving.com Increases Client Revenue Through Enhanced Mortgage and Moving Centers; New Offerings Increase Value for Consumers and Business Partners

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 3, 2003--Monstermoving.com, a leading online source of relocation services and a brand extension of Monster(R), the flagship brand of TMP Worldwide Inc. (NASDAQ: TMPW), recently unveiled enhanced mortgage and moving centers designed to provide consumers superior access to critical tools and resources, while creating new business opportunities for corporate clients and partners.

Mortgage Center Enhancements Increase Leads by 67%

With mortgage rates remaining near a 40-year-low, the mortgage industry is experiencing unprecedented growth. Monstermoving.com is helping consumers as well as mortgage providers capitalize on this boom through its newly enhanced Mortgage Center. For consumers looking to take advantage of low mortgage rates, the new Mortgage Center features a simpler, more streamlined application process, plus more detailed information and support tools for easier, faster navigation of the mortgage application process. These enhancements have resulted in major increases in mortgage pre-qualification and contact forms submitted through the Monstermoving.com site. Since launching the enhanced Mortgage Center in November 2002, Monstermoving's mortgage clients have seen a 67% increase in the number of mortgage leads generated by Monstermoving.com.

"Monstermoving.com's Mortgage Center plays a key role in Homebound Mortgage's national advertising efforts. As a result of the most recent site enhancements, we have seen significant growth in the number of new business leads driven to us from Monstermoving.com," said Shane Semprebon, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Homebound Mortgage. "The continual investment Monstermoving.com makes in improving and updating the Mortgage Center ensures that they will continue to drive qualified new customer leads and help us grow our business."

Moving Center Enhancements Increase Moving Leads by 73%

Monstermoving.com's latest edition of the Moving Center features new performance enhancements that meet the needs of both consumers and business partners. Moving consumers benefit from a simplified mover quote process, expanded mover categories that include specialty moves and a "last minute move" tool catering to those with less than two weeks to execute a move. The new Moving Center provides moving companies with maximum visibility and exposure by offering listings on both the Monstermoving.com and Moving.com websites. Moving companies also benefit from enhanced customer targeting capabilities, enabling them to more effectively target potential customers based on specific area code, move type and move size. The new Moving Center is paying big dividends for moving companies, driving a 73% increase in mover leads since launching in January.

"The enhanced Mortgage and Moving Centers are examples of Monstermoving.com's continued commitment to creating value for our site visitors and corporate alliances," said Pete Lamson, COO, Monstermoving.com. "Through continuous web site refinement, Monstermoving.com is now driving more new business leads to our advertising partners than ever before.
