Monster India Gets New Looks, Uses Local Technology

New site conceptualized and built entirely by the local product and technology team and is more user friendly than ever before.

Monday, February 20, 2006: New Delhi: Monster India today launched a brand new version of its job site with a complete make over not just in look and feel but also in the core search technology that the site is built on. The new site has been conceptualized and built entirely by the product and technology teams in India. The new site is focused on providing a simple and intuitive solution to jobseekers and employers.

Calling the new development revolutionary, Arun Tadanki, president and managing director of Monster (India, Singapore and Hong Kong) said, “While Monster has set a very high benchmark for product excellence worldwide and has really been a role model for job sites across the world, we felt that we could add to the user experience substantially by localizing the product to Indian customer needs.”

“The reason we call it revolutionary is because the new Monster India site will lend an entirely new meaning to the way people search for jobs and companies look for people. The intuitive home grown search technology will raise the bar for job and candidate search a few notches higher”

Added Steve Pogorzelski, group president, international, Monster Worldwide, Inc, “India is an important market for Monster Worldwide. The fact that this is the first time a Monster site has been built on local technology is testimony to the strategic importance Monster accords to India as a market. Our global experience coupled with deep local understanding of our international markets has positioned us well to provide our users with the best solutions.”

In preparation for today’s launch, Monster India started a comprehensive programme for all its customers from last week to educate them on the full scope of benefits that the new site offers and would very soon be conducting workshops in major cities to facilitate one-on-one meetings with the recruiters.

The new site is designed for job search. It is a job seekers’ site with everything from the home page to the inside pages developed to guide them through a great job search experience. The home page is kept clean so the job seekers know they can straight away start searching for their kind of jobs straight away. Its ‘Guided Search’ makes job seeker’s search hit the bull’s eyed. While ‘Oven fresh job’ help them be the first to apply to their kind of jobs. ‘EzeeApply’ is a three-click application process for job seekers who have already submitted their resumes, and through ‘EzeeResume’, user can create resume within 5 minutes.

The site offers special benefits to the employers as well; the new Monster India site is designed to return the best of resumes through an interface that is intuitive. The new SmartFind Resume Database Search helps the employers refine their search in many ways to get to their kind of candidates, it also enables employers to receive resumes from the database even when they only post jobs.
