Mr Harvey said that the move onto the Monster platform signalled a significant milestone not only for CareerOne.com.au but for the Australian employment market.

“The response we’ve received from the industry about our Monster partnership has been very positive,” Mr Harvey said.

“After relaunching our advertiser offerings in July last year and enhancing that functionality in October, we are thrilled to now be migrating onto Monster’s latest technology platform to provide a world class user experience for Australian job-hunters.

“This is one of the key milestones since the joint-venture with Monster Worldwide was announced in November 2008, and with this new site, we look to continue to bring real competition to the online employment market.

“CareerOne’s more personalised and streamlined user experience will make it easier for job hunters to find and apply for relevant jobs, and recruiters and employers will see a continued improvement in the number of relevant applications and the quality of candidates delivered through CareerOne.com.au.

 “With the employment market showing gradual signs of improvement, now is an opportune time to confirm our position as an innovative, world-class employment destination that provides job-hunters the best support during their job search.”
