Monster.com Unveils MonsterTRAK, the Combination of Monster.com and JOBTRAK.com, a Dedicated Career Resource for College Students and Alumni

MAYNARD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 6, 2001- Class is officially out but the real test is about to begin for the millions of college graduates entering the workforce. Finding that first "real" job can be an intimidating assignment of research, persistence and protocol, but with the help of MonsterTRAK, it's easy to take the leap. Equipping graduates and college students with the resources and tools necessary to find first jobs, Monster.com(R), the leading global online careers site and flagship brand of TMP Worldwide Inc. (NASDAQ: TMPW), today announced the launch of MonsterTRAK (www.monstertrak.com), the definitive career resource for college students and alumni.

The powerful combination of Monster.com and JOBTRAK.com, a college-targeted career site that Monster.com acquired in November 2000, MonsterTRAK provides students and alumni with more entry-level and part-time job and internship postings than any other career management entity--on or off-line. By maintaining superior partnerships with 1,200 college and university career centers, MBA programs and alumni associations nationwide, MonsterTRAK provides employers with access to 15 million students and alumni, of which more than 7 million attend MonsterTRAK member schools.

"MonsterTRAK is a powerhouse offering, providing college students and alumni with the resources and opportunities to develop and execute their career management strategies," said Jeff Taylor, CEO of Monster.com. "MonsterTRAK enhances Monster.com's entry-level offering, strengthening its commitment to every level of job seeker - from intern to CEO."

Unlike other online career sites, MonsterTRAK enables employers to target their job listings to students and alumni from specific campuses. This provides employers with a highly effective recruiting effort and connects job seekers with employers who are actively seeking their skills. By simply registering with their career centers, students gain instant access to MonsterTRAK and the world's largest database of entry-level, part-time and internship positions. Students can search for opportunities at industry-leading organizations, from Internet start-ups to Fortune 500 companies.

"MonsterTRAK is an exceptional conduit between employers and entry-level job seekers," said MonsterTRAK's Ken Ramberg. "Employers benefit from a more efficient recruiting effort, and job seekers enjoy postings and career resources targeted just to them."
