Monster closes purchase of HotJobs, becomes our new recruitment partner
By BdotCOM
We are excited to announce that The Californian and bakersfield.com are now partnered with Monster Worldwide Inc. to help power our local online recruitment section.
This change is a result of Monster’s $225 million purchase of Yahoo HotJobs, including partnerships with over 600 newspapers across the country. The Federal Trade Commission spent six months reviewing the sale, which formally closed today.
Bakersfield.com and The Californian will continue to serve recruiters and jobseekers with the existing suite of recruitment products, with the Monster name joining the HotJobs name on the site. It'll be called "HotJobs by Monster" and for the short term will continue to operate as a separate and distinct platform and brand from Monster.com. We'll be adding the new logo over the next few days.
While our site branding will be modified, almost everything else remains the same. You will continue to have the same trusted local listings, sales and support team, account login, products, features, and benefits you have come to rely on from The Californian and bakersfield.com, and HotJobs - but now backed by Monster.
As part of the sale, Monster will become Yahoo's exclusive provider of career and job content on the Yahoo homepage. That ensures local businesses will continue to get wide reach for their recruitment ads.
Monster pioneered the business of digital recruiting in 1994, and now offers 88 percent more reach that any other global recruitment company.
