I am certain they will begin to aggregate positions from other sources, but I would be shocked if they were to aggregate the likes of competitors such as Careerbuilder or HotJobs. With sites such as indeed.com leading the way, Monster seems to be a little late to the party.

From a traffic standpoint its a no-brainer. Perhaps they will include others sites 'ala' HotJobs but Monster jobs will always come first. But somehow I cant see them turning into an Indeed without skewing results to their own jobs.
