Monster has released a newly-configured Monster Talent Management Suite (TMS) for employers, which includes career site hosting, applicant tracking, and post-hire workforce optimization modules. According to a press release, the TMS is customizable and scalable for any size business.
Monster is introducing the TMS at the SHRM Conference & Exposition taking place now in New Orleans.
The TMS has three offerings:
* Monster Career Site Hosting: Includes an employer branded hosted career site, private resume database, EEO/AA reporting, optional OFCCP data capture and reporting, Monster.com integration for job postings and sourcing resumes, and candidate email capability
* Monster Recruit: An applicant tracking system that offers employers self-help capabilities and on-line support
* Monster Custom Recruit: A customizable enterprise version intended for employers whose requirements are beyond the capabilities of Monster Recruit
A key component is the modular pricing structure, which is based on a ‘per-user-per-month’ model. The TMS is available with various pricing tiers, with further deductions taken when users are added for the purchase of multiple solutions, or if the client signs a long-term contract.
“It has never been more crucial for companies to elevate their unique employer brand and advance their workforce by efficiently assessing, attracting and on-boarding the talent they need,” said Puneet Bhasin, senior vice president, employer product, Monster. “Monster TMS delivers the tools to help companies easily accomplish these objectives by providing employers a customizable and affordable solution to develop and retain the talent they have to cultivate a more engaged, prepared and productive workforce.”
Monster TMS also offers post-hire modules including on-boarding, learning management and performance management. The addition of these post-hire modules marks the expansion of Monster’s product portfolio into talent retention solutions.
The new product is available in 10 countries and in eight languages with additional global expansion scheduled throughout 2009.

In response to an article you posted on Saturday (A Dark Day for Monster), we would like to clarify the following. The Register, a British technology news and opinion website, recently published an article reporting a security vendor, Jacques Erasmus of Prevx, had located a server in China that stored FTP login credentials for a number of major companies, including Monster. These credentials were apparently stolen from PC’s that had been infected with a computer virus.
Monster’s incident response process was activated immediately. Monster’s IT Security Team has investigated this report and believes there is no security impact, and no compromise of Monster’s systems. In addition to reviewing internal security logs, Monster spoke to Mr. Erasmus, and determined that the pair of credentials he recovered are not valid and are related to accounts that were closed in excess of 18 months ago as part of a security review. Monster will stay in touch with Mr. Erasmus and continue to monitor the situation.
Finally, the security issue explained above is completely unrelated to the site outage which occurred on Friday morning. Friday’s outage was caused by a technical issue which was identified and quickly corrected.

Monster’s TMS neither help make placements quickly nor put you close to the money. Recruiters and recruiting managers are using WizTalent.
