Monster is all about their new site. That isn’t actaully available. And will not be available this year. That does not stop them advertising it for the last couple of months. They started sounding a bit like Microsoft advertising their Vista. A lot of hipe, for a long, long time, but the result is…
Well let’s give Monster a chance to actaully show it to us. They promised it in Januarry next year (how crazy do you have to be to release teh new version of the job site in the month when job boards have the most traffic? If someting goes wrong, and things allways go wrong with the new releases, do you really need to show it to the most of visitors? :)
Well I guess it was a marketing driven decission, as Monsters decisions allways are, as oposed to the someones who knows how to run the operations.
Releasing a new jobs site in the year 2009, I would consider to be a failure if it does not have an element of the social networking. Is Monster smart and brave enough to bring the social networking in online recruitment on a large scale, as oposed to what LinkedIN is trying to do? Let’s wait and see ….
Untill then we will just be getting thoise emails and PDF’s titled Take a sneak peek at the new Monster or simmilar…
One reply on “Take a sneak peek at the new Monster”
The new Monster.ie website may have new features but it has a problem when viewed from an IE browser. In the Manage My Cv section you will see a down arrow under the heading Actions. this down arrow displays a drop-down menu for actions to be taken on your CV. But due to a design flaw with the IE browser, the drop-down menu is partially obscured by the advertisement image below the create new CV button. Monster is aware of the issue, but has not been rectified as yet.
