WESTON, Mass., Aug. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Monster (NYSE: MWW)
and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel today announced a renewed alliance
to offer local recruitment content, career services and talent
management solutions as pioneered by Monster through the Milwaukee
Journal Sentinel Recruitment Team and JSOnline.com.
"Our recent merger with the former E.W.
Scripps newspapers reintroduced us to the power of the
Monster brand," said Dani Longoria,
VP of Advertising, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and National Media
Director, Journal Media Group. "Those publications have
consistently led our industry by providing innovative recruitment
solutions and dependable growth as they effectively connected job
seekers with the right positions. Once we saw the leadership that
our new partner papers enjoyed in the recruitment space within
their respective markets – we were convinced we should bring
Monster back to Milwaukee."
Monster Worldwide and the former Journal Sentinel Inc.
originally engaged in a strategic agreement in 2007, the contract
expired after five years when the former entity developed and
launched standalone, homegrown solutions for recruitment products.
After EW Scripps Media merged with Journal Communications in 2014
to create the Journal Media Group, (NYSE: JMG) which manages
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel quickly
reconnected the successful solutions provided by Monster that were
already at work within JMG's newspaper divisions.
"Milwaukee Journal Sentinel readers will again experience the
capabilities of Monster and reaching audiences where they already
are," said Mark Charnock, Senior
Vice President of Media, Agency and Newspaper at Monster. "By
providing a robust recruitment product portfolio to employers in
the Milwaukee market, including
match solutions, social recruitment and sourcing solutions, our
combined presence in the market will mean an unparalleled reach in
the market through sources they already work with and trust."
As one of the most visited sites on the web, Monster continues
to be the best place to find Milwaukee's top talent, with an estimated
reach of over half the local market between Monster and Milwaukee
Journal Sentinel brands. Additionally, the Milwaukee Journal
Sentinel readership is over 769,000 weekly and over 270,000 unique
views weekly, making the deal for both brands more local and
beneficial.
"Once again, we are thrilled to align with The Milwaukee Journal
Sentinel to help job seekers, recruiters, and talent managers gain
the most advanced solutions in the market," said Chris Johnson, Vice President & General
Manager of Newspaper Partnerships at Monster. "Our relationships
with local media outlets, such as the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel,
means more talent, more reach and more solutions for all markets as
pioneered by Monster for over 20 years, providing a wide arsenal of
products and services uniquely designed to help overcome recruiting
obstacles for businesses of every size."
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel customers were notified earlier this
summer about the restored relationship, emphasizing new offerings,
powerful features and continued dedication for the best and
strongest job opportunities. The deal for Monster to return as the
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel exclusive local recruitment content and
service provider went into effect on July 1,
2015 with various site changes expected throughout the
remainder of the year helping deliver a host of award-winning
tools.
