Sources tell us this is the last day before price increases take hold for Monster’s resume database access.
Will you get more for your money? Not so much.
- The number of resumes a user can view is decreasing from 60,000/yr. to 20,000/yr.
- The cost for a single user with a national account will be increasing from $9,400 to $9,995 per year.
Additional new pricing information for national accounts:
-
Two users: $7,500 each/yr.
Three users: $6,300
Four users: $5,700
Five - 19 users: $5,200
Granted, I’m not a fan of giving Monster Worldwide any of your hard-earned money. But if you want resume access, better jump now. Or wait till Monday and make the stockholders that much happier.

But the question remains…do I get an animatronic Andy McKelvy toy and a Jeff Taylor Bobble-head with that?

got any idea of what a single job offer costs on monster france ??
630 euros (approx 800$) … germany is even worse (something around 1300$ i think).
Isn’t that crazy ?

If you look at the price per resume view, due to their monetization of the resume view, dropping from 60,000 views to 20,000 views with the prices hike…
Monster 2006 - cost per resume view for yearly national accounts: $9,400 / 60,000 views = $.17 per view
Monster 2007 - cost per resume view for yearly national accounts: $9,995 / 20,000 views = $.50 per view
The price then is TRIPLED. More $$ less product..

Pretty much what is happening is that most of the major boards have the sense that since they are the ones primarily responsible for the decline in newspaper (print) advertising that they are automatically entitled to proportional increase in revenues to the papers decline in revenues.
There are more effective, less expensive options out there folks. Monster will get away with the increase. Why? Simply because they are what many people know and are comfortable with. Not to mention that in most cases is the employer that is paying…not the hiring manager.
