Hi there,
today:
- The real reason behind the Monster acquisition
- Startup stock buyout programs
- Age discrimination against older employees
Why Randstad Acquired Monster.com
Matt Charney from Recruiting Daily (and former Monster.com employee) has written an epic analysis of the Randstad/Monster acquisition.
Most important corner stones of this deal:
- Buying a book of business – particularly in North America
- Lead generation (B2B) – lure with job postings and upsell contingency staffing
- Vertical integration – making Monster.com work for job seekers
