Monster (NYSE:MWW) is the leading global career and recruitment advertisement company having dominant positions on key European, and global markets. We've been doing this for over ten years, and have expanded from our roots as a "job board" to a global provider of a full array of job seeking, career management, recruitment and talent management products and services.

At the heart of our success and our future is innovation: we are changing the way people think about work, and we're helping them actively improve their lives and their workforce performance with new technology, tools and practices.

Monster pioneered the business of digital recruiting in 1994, and today we are the only online recruitment provider able to service customers on a truly global basis. Monster Worldwide has an unparalleled international reach with a presence in approximately 50 countries around the world. In 2008, we increased our presence in the vast China online recruitment market by raising our stake in ChinaHR to 100 percent. To further enhance our penetration of the Asia-Pacific region, we partnered with News Limited in an online career site (CareerOne) for the Australian market.

As we continue to seek strategic ways to expand our offerings to employers and seekers, we have taken steps to ensure that we have the processes, technology and infrastructure to deliver the highest level of service and support to our customers. We have deepened our focus on leveraging our multiple distribution channels to further extend our reach into local markets in the United States.

This is evident through Monster's strategic alliances with newspapers in several of the nation's largest metropolitan markets including New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago. Our alliances support our commitment to expand the online recruitment market and allow us to serve more customers and job seekers effectively and efficiently.

In January 2009, Monster unveiled a re-launched Web site offering enhanced resources for seekers and employers. The new site features an unprecedented investment in development and technology and offers new tools and resources to help people realize their life improvement goals. Through the creation of new products and services such as Monster Career Mapping, Monster Career Snapshots and Monster Career Benchmarking, we continue to improve the seeker experience while also developing deeper relationships with our employer customers.

• Monster's Mission: To inspire people to improve their lives.
• Monster's Promise: Monster pioneered the notion of helping people get more out of work by showing them that a better job was out there. And helping them find it at Monster.

But the workplace has evolved - people expect more control; people seek more perspective; people crave more enrichment. 

And so we've evolved. We've broadened our lens to be more than just a marketplace for jobs.

At Monster, we don't just sell better jobs, we help promote better lives.

Because, in the end, a better job is much more than just that. A better job is a better experience; an experience that leads to better possibilities, better opportunities, better relationships, better perspectives - all working together to improve life along the way.

We will know we've succeeded when our customers have succeeded at living more rewarding, fulfilled and improved lives.
