EBAY News Monster Adds PayPal Functionality for Online Recruiting Services
MAYNARD, Mass. and SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Monster®, the leading
global online careers and recruitment resource and flagship brand of
Monster Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ: MNST), and PayPal, today announced
PayPal will be available as a payment method on Monster’s
eCommerce site. Monster becomes the first of leading online recruitment
sites to offer PayPal, a leading global online payment method that
enables customers to pay for items using their bank accounts, credit
cards, stored PayPal balance or PayPal Buyer Credit –
without sharing their financial information with recipients.
“Monster remains committed to making it easier
for customers, especially small businesses, to work with us, and the
addition of PayPal is another step toward allowing employers to
effortlessly access our recruitment resources,”
said Brad Baker, president of product, technology and service at
Monster. “We continue to enhance our eCommerce
channel to offer tools and services that expedite the entire recruitment
process, from posting the job, to screening applicants, to paying for
services rendered.”
“We are excited to add Monster.com, the
largest online career site and a pioneer in its category, to the roster
of merchants who accept PayPal,” said
Stephanie Tilenius, vice president of merchant services for PayPal. “PayPal
works with merchants of all sizes, all over the world. Now, those
merchants can use their PayPal accounts to help them find their most
important assets – qualified employees.”
Millions of merchants already use PayPal to accept payments for their
e-commerce sites. Now it is even more convenient for merchants to use
the funds already stored in their PayPal accounts to help them staff
their businesses for the new year with Monster’s
recruiting services.
Monster chose to integrate PayPal functionality into its eCommerce site
as part of the company’s continued focus on
personalizing the recruiting experience to help employers effectively
target the proper candidates. Time is often at a premium for small
business owners, and by affording the ability for employers to pay for
Monster’s recruitments products online,
employers will now have a more resourceful and cost-effective tool to
enhance the recruitment process.
