WESTON, Mass., Oct. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Monster (NYSE: MWW)
and Akron Beacon Journal today announced a renewed agreement to
offer local recruitment content, career services and talent
management solutions as pioneered by Monster through Ohio.com and
the Akron Beacon Journal.
"Ohio job seekers look to Akron Beacon Journal as a leader in
employment opportunities and Monster has the power to further
enhance our offerings," said Justin
Balogh, Advertising Manager at Akron Beacon Journal /
Ohio.com. "To continue our path toward innovative recruitment
solutions, we simply couldn't find a program enhancement to Monster
thanks largely to their vast expertise in the jobs market, ability
to connect top talent with employers and dependable services that
ensure the best results for our clients."
Monster Worldwide and Akron Beacon Journal have been working
together for nine years, originally starting their arrangement in
October 2006. The contract between
said parties was set to expire by year's end; as such, Akron Beacon
Journal explored competing vendors, but Monster successfully
showcased current and future-oriented solutions through industry
leading tools, while continuing to deliver exclusive brand strength
realized through Monster's long history of results.
"Monster is thrilled to continue our success with Akron Beacon
Journal, ensuring a vast reach to a variety of audiences wherever
they are," said Mark Charnock,
Senior Vice President of Media, Agency and Newspaper at Monster.
"Our combined power in the market means an unparalleled reach in
the Ohio market through sources
they already know and trust, including talent matching, social
recruitment and sourcing tools."
As a premier jobs provider, Monster will continue to power
jobs.ohio.com, providing resume tools, career videos and
social media insight and making it the best place to find
Ohio's top talent, with an
estimated reach of over half the local market between Monster and
Akron Beacon Journal / Ohio.com. Additionally, the ABJ readership
is comprised of over 525,000 unique adult readers in the primary
market. The Akron Beacon Journal and Ohio.com combine to reach
78.3% of the 407,024 adults in the market who have accessed the
Internet in the past 30 days.
Monster plans continued emphasis on new offerings, powerful
features and continued dedication for the best and strongest job
opportunities. The deal between Monster and Akron Beacon Journal as
the exclusive local recruitment content and service provider is
currently on-going, with contract renewal that went into effect on
October 1, 2015, with various site
changes expected throughout the remainder of the year helping
deliver a host of award-winning tools.
