| One of the largest employment web sites, Monster.com, is moving into the executive suite, targeting chief information officers, chief marketing officers, vice presidents, and other top positions.
Candidates will have to pass a screening test to be included in the job database, including information about previous job experience and salary (around a minimum of $150,000). The service, which lets users post resumes and scan job vacancies, will carry a database-access fee for employers and recruiters.
The logic is that many CEOs are already familiar with Monster, having placed their job openings there. So they may use the site to look for jobs themselves, said Forrester analyst Charlene Li.
The move may be prescient. More experienced execs are job-hopping, according to a recent study by Challenger, Gray & Christmas. In the year ending June 30, 33 percent of managers and execs (averaging 45 years old) reported working at four organizations or more during their careers. In 1991, the average was 23 percent. |
