WESTON, Mass., June 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Monster
Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: MWW), a global leader in connecting jobs and
people, today announced the availability of a new and expanded set
of employer brand and transparency capabilities, in conjunction
with the U.S. launch of kununu, the leading platform for employer
reviews in Europe. Monster and
kununu announced the joint venture in February to bring much-needed
greater employer transparency to the U.S. market.
"Brand perception means everything to candidates in today's
increasingly competitive recruitment market," said Mark Stoever, President and Chief Operating
Officer, Monster. "Monster's new brand and transparency
capabilities enable companies to better take charge of their
reputation as an employer – and consumers to be better informed.
The best new employee arrives fully aware of what it's like to work
at that company, and the employers that enable this are best
positioned for success."
Because branding is a critical driver for recruiting, the new
solutions comprise integrated capabilities both on the Monster
platform and the newly launched kununu reviews and ratings site,
including:
- kununu Employer Branding Profiles – As a
transparency hub, the kununu website features profiles allowing
employers to share and communicate company culture, mission and
environment, and to respond to employee and candidate reviews and
questions. The profiles also feature integrated Monster job
ads.
- Company Profiles on Monster – A visually engaging,
mobile-friendly company homepage on Monster that includes
integrated kununu company ratings and reviews.
Employers can additionally amplify the effectiveness of their
Monster presence and enhance candidate experience intelligence
gathering with:
- Branded Job Templates on Monster – Brand
consistent, visually engaging and mobile-friendly job templates
that ensure job seekers have a strong brand experience from the
get-go, also including integrated kununu company ratings.
- Post-Apply Candidate Survey on Monster – Candid
insights from job seekers who have applied to jobs and have shared
frank details about their experience and impressions.
Together, the complete set of Monster and kununu solutions
provide employers with significant benefits in boosting their brand
and transparency, and in maximizing the effectiveness of their
efforts on the Monster platform while also harnessing the power of
kununu's platform.
Kununu Profiles, Ratings and Reviews
kununu,
which has already seen rapid U.S. growth in its beta period, serves
as the centerpiece of the new employer offering. Thanks to
the partnership with Monster, kununu launched on June 16, 2016 featuring reviews from nearly
200,000 U.S. users, offering prospective employees an inside look
at companies, from company culture, career development
trajectories, work-life balance, office snacks and beyond with no
required registration – a first in the U.S.
Employers can engage with candid employee reviewers, giving a
company 48 hours advanced notice before a review is posted to their
page, allowing the company to compose a thoughtful response
before followers hear about it.
"We believe that transparency of company culture, growth
potential, responsibilities and co-workers are just as important to
attracting new employees as is compensation," said Moritz Kothe, CEO, kununu. "We've designed
kununu to be incredibly easy to use, removing barriers and focusing
on a level of transparency that isn't found in the marketplace
today. Equally as important is the work we've done to seamlessly
integrate kununu into the candidate experience on Monster, and the
same with Monster jobs on kununu."
All of the new employer branding and transparency solutions,
including the new kununu profiles, are commercially available
today.
