Ruim een maand geleden was er de bombshell dat Monster en CareerBuilder voortaan samen door het leven zullen gaan. Het persbericht van CareerBuilder en het oorspronkelijke persbericht van Randstad zeggen hierover exact hetzelfde:
The combination of Monster and CareerBuilder brings together two strong, trusted and complementary brands to create a job board with greater scale and reach. As the world of work continues to evolve, this combination will allow both businesses to benefit from shared resources and solutions to deliver greater value and opportunities to both talent and employers. Together, both companies can more effectively respond to prevailing trends in the market to deliver enhanced growth.
Eind juli rapporteerde Randstad haar resultaten over het 2e kwartaal van 2024 (spoiler alert: niet fraai) waarin de grootste uitzender van de wereld in de marge nog wat over deze cohabitatie wist te melden:
Finally, we announced the merger of Monster with Career Builder to create the third largest job board in the U.S. and as you will understand, combining the two companies will have significant scale benefits.
