prices, chance of buyout falling at monster worldwide
May 22nd, 2007
Remember in January when I reported prices at Monster were rising? Well, I guess that didn’t work out so well, as single postings have reverted back to 2006 levels and other packages have dropped as well.
Here’s a breakdown:
Old Monster Pricing (12/2006)
New Monster Pricing (1/2007 - ca. 5/2007)
New New Monster Pricing (Present)
Couldn’t have been because of customer backlash and a slump in sales, could it? Nah!
And did I mention Monster’s stock is taking a nosedive today in light of their former CEO selling off one million shares? I’m no stock broker, but that apparently means the chances of someone buying this tired, old, um, monster, are pretty bleak at the moment. Bummer.

Good find on the pricing. You do realize the it was the irrelevant former founder & CEO who sold the stock.

could it be because they’re shaking for fear of a new revolutionary business model appearing that states “free job posting but $5 per applicant” (and if you don’t like any candidates call this number and we’ll refund the 397 x $5 back into your credit card account)??
That’s it, somebody has Monster on the run at last!

Good one Joel for embarrassing them.
