MONTREAL, June 30 /CNW/ - Monster Canada today announced the launch of
its next-generation Monster.ca Web site, redesigned with new state-of-the art
features that meet the rapidly evolving needs of employers and job seekers in
today's hot job market.
"We're thrilled to be throwing the switch today on the new Monster.ca -
confirming, yet again, our position as the Canadian leader in online
recruiting," said Gabriel Bouchard, vice president and general manager of
Monster Canada. "Monster Canada is committed to helping job seekers and
employers find each other as quickly as possible."

Here are just a few of the key features on the new Monster.ca site:

Streamlined Resume Builder - Monster has simplified the process of
creating, posting and updating resumes into one easy step, enabling job
seekers to get their qualifications in front of employers faster than ever.
Employers will see the difference in how efficiently they can now find and
target the most suitable candidates.

'My Monster' offers tools tailored to the job seeker - The popular 'My
Monster' now has a new interface containing key tools that job seekers
require. It is personalized to fit each individual's job search. Using the
Quick Apply feature, job seekers can apply to a job by clicking one button and
Monster does the rest, sending out a prepared cover letter and resume to the
employer. And My Monster can also use a job seeker's individual account
information to search through thousands of jobs for the ones that fit that
candidate.

A new 'Finance Zone' - Monster has developed a wealth of resources and
tools for the growing number of professionals and aspiring pros seeking or
managing careers in banking, money management, insurance or real estate.
Monster's new Finance Zone has timely advice and information on a wide array
of topics, including creating a financial resume, industry-specific interview
tips and feature stories.

Expert-driven career content - With its sleek new homepage, Monster.ca
has made the Career Advice section even easier to navigate, enabling job
seekers to find the expert-driven tips, tools and advice they need guide them
in every step of their career.

Better results for Employers - The new Monster.ca site is designed to
help job seekers manage their searches and careers more effectively and the
results will benefit employers, too - they will be able to zero in on
more-qualified candidates with every job they post and every resume they find
through Monster.ca
