- Monster Worldwide (NYSE:MWW) announces it has acquired mobile app Jobr for an undisclosed amount.
- "Bringing the Jobr app and team to Monster will enhance our leading global talent platform for job search, people search and related solutions across mobile channels," said Mark Stoever, President and Chief Operating Officer, Monster.
- The Jobr app uses a 'Tinder-like' model, allowing job seekers to quickly connect with or dismiss job opportunities by swiping right or left on job postings and then apply to those jobs. Jobr also provides tools for recruiters to manage and interact with applicants.
- Monster says it will immediately begin to integrate the Jobr app with the Monster global talent platform, initially focusing on building out key capabilities including single sign on for users and developing Monster membership workflows.
- The company will then work to extend the Jobr app to other markets in which it operates through early 2017.
