Monster India launches a brand new site with local technology

Media Release

New Delhi, February 20

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 & 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.
