About Monster Wordwide
Source: Hoovers
There are "monstrous" global companies, and then there is Monster Worldwide. Formerly TMP Worldwide, the company operates the world's #1 job search Web site, Monster. (It has retained the top position among job search sites despite losing its planned purchase of chief rival HotJobs.com to Internet giant Yahoo!.) The Monster site features more than 1 million job ads and a database of more than 34 million resumes for recruiters to browse through. Monster Worldwide has reorganized around three geographic regions: Asia/Pacific, Europe, and North America. It boasts most FORTUNE 500 companies as clients. Chairman and CEO Andrew McKelvey controls about 32% of Monster Worldwide.

In August 2006 the company agreed to sell one of its original businesses, recruitment advertising agency TMP Worldwide Advertising & Communications, to agency managers and an investment fund managed by Veronis Suhler Stevenson for $45 million. The move caps a string of divestments -- including the spinoffs of its eResourcing and Executive Search business units and the sale of its Yellow Pages advertising services segment -- intended to sharpen the company's focus on the Monster business.

Along with Monster.com, Monster manages Fastweb.com and MonsterTRAK.com, job search sites for secondary school and college students, and it offers a forum for executives to search for posts (ChiefMonster).

Monster Worldwide has used more than 100 acquisitions in the past decade to stockpile its businesses, which McKelvey hopes to converge on the Web in a network offering job seekers the ability to go from "intern-to-CEO." The company boosted its offerings in Asia with its 2005 acquisition of South Korean jobs site JobKorea for $94 million.
