Monster Worldwide Buys Mobile Job Discovery App Jobr - Quick Facts

(RTTNews) - Monster Worldwide, Inc. (MWW), a provider of online and mobile employment solutions, said it has acquired Jobr, a mobile job discovery app. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

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, whose jobs are already featured on the Jobr app, said it will immediately begin to integrate the Jobr app with the Monster global talent platform.

The company will initially focus on building out key capabilities including single sign on for users and developing Monster membership workflows. It will then work to extend the Jobr app to other markets in which it operates through early 2017.

Monster also intends to unleash the Jobr team and core assets in further expanding its mobile capabilities, accelerating the development of the mobile components of the company's recruiting platform.
