Monster.com is one of the most visited employment websites in the United States and one of the largest in the world. It is owned and operated by Monster Worldwide, Inc. It was created in 1999 by the merger of The Monster Board (TMB) and Online Career Center (OCC), which were two of the first and most popular career web sites on the Internet. Monster is primarily used to help those seeking work to find job openings, for lower to mid-level employment, that match their skills and location.
Monster.com is one of the most trafficked employment websites in the United States as ranked by Alexa (see the Alexa ranking in the infobox to the right, as compared to other employment websites). In October 2010, Indeed.com passed Monster.com to become the largest job site in the United States. A provider of rankings of the amount of unique viewers per month— comScore Inc—in January 2013, ranks Monster.com third behind Indeed.com and Careerbuilder.com, which is not far behind Indeed.com. Monster.com is one of the largest job search engines in the world. In 2008, Monster had over a million job postings at any time and over 1 million resumes, in the database and over 63 million job seekers per month. The company has approximately 5,000 employees on its payroll in 36 countries. Its headquarters is in Weston, MA in the United States.
