Has the big monster finally struck? Will careerbuilder be the next? could you get us a word on this Joel?

For our part at Eluta.ca, we've followed a practice of not indexing the large job boards (or any other site excluding robots) since our inception. It's more difficult to index jobs directly from employers' websites, but we believe this is where the real "value added" exists in our industry.

While they are very valuable partners of ours, we do compete once in a while in the ATS space. I'm glad to see this action- even if its a one-off, its excellent ammo to use against them in an ATS sale. "Ms. customer, what other internet properties and services will Monster decide are not in your best interest ? " IMHO, Monster should have been reinventing themselves long ago as the TMS provider to the world. This move is pennies from above for those who would be harmed by that effort. Now if their ATS were awesome, that might be another story.... THANKS MONSTER !!!
