After years of pitching them selves primarily to resume-tot ing professionals and their prospective employers, the big Internet job sites are trying to muscle into the recruitment mar ket for blue-collar and service workers. Monster.com will use an ad during this Sunday’s Super Bowl to tout changes in its list ings and application process geared to workers paid by the hour. The new campaign follows the December launch by CareerBuilder.com of its own online recruitment tool for so- called “skilled and hourly” workers. HotJobs.com, owned by Yahoo!, says it also is working to broaden its efforts in the hourly market. The new focus comes as the online job boards struggle to generate business in an economy notable for its lack of new jobs. “Last quarter. Monster’s revenue was down almost 30 percent, year over year,” said Matthew Litfin, an analyst with William Blair & Co. “Who can blame a company for trying to stem a decline of that magnitude?” Monster and its rivals say they're wooing hourly workers out of logic, not desperation. Workers paid by the hour are 60 percent of the nation’s labor force, and more of them are fre quenting the Internet. “It’s the size and the rev enue potential of the market, regardless of how the economy is doing, that's drawing people there,” said Matt Ferguson. CareerBuilder’s chief operat ing officer. For the Web sites, the hourly job market — which they define broadly to cover everyone from construction workers to nurses — is largely fresh territory since most of those jobs are filled through newspaper classified ads or staffing agencies. The first Internet job boards to venture in were specialty sites like constructionjobs.com. and employmentguide.com. affiliated with a chain of free ad circulars focused on the hoi market. Monster edged into then ket early last year, when its ed a test site in the Cinch area. It was matched by Cincinnati Enquirer newsp; owned by Gannett Co., u started its own online ho recruitment board. Thai helped shape the expansia CareerBuilder, owned joi by the Gannett, Knight and Tribune Co. newspj chains. Monster and CareerBt say there are important ences between the way and salaried workers look jobs. Most hourly workers jobs by tilling out a rather than creating andsa ing out resumes. So both allow jobseekers to fill application that can be vi by employers. The job boards acto edge that some hourly # ers don’t have comp access, so they have sei phone-based services accept applications. Ul' ® overthrou hn P® tppiiu: BE A SENATOR.
