Internet job boards seek
hourly workers for listings
NEW YORK (AP) —
Wanted: Truck drivers,
plumbers, nurses, cashiers and
the businesses who hire them.
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.
