Monster Helps College Students and Recent Graduates Better Connect with Alumni on Facebook® via Free College Pages on BeKnown™

In an effort to help companies better connect with students and alumni, Monster.com®, the worldwide leader in connecting people to job opportunities and the flagship brand of Monster Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: MWW), today unveiled College Pages for BeKnown™ – Monster’s fast-growing professional networking app on Facebook®. Meeting the evolving needs of employers and job seekers, the College Pages provide an opportunity for current students and graduating students to build stronger career networks and professional connections on Facebook with alumni working at top companies that are hiring.

"As soon-to-be college graduates start to think about their entry into the workforce, their first step should be building out their professional networks using the invaluable connections they have right in front of them,” said Tom Chevalier, Global Product Manager for Monster Worldwide. "Alumni networks are a key source of career opportunities for college graduates, so we wanted to make it as easy as possible for them to connect and engage right from BeKnown. BeKnown College Pages provide the career-focused social presence institutions of higher education need to drive connections between students and alumni in a way that other professional networks don’t readily offer.”

BeKnown College Pages provide institutions with a great way to build a professional network of students and alumni through Facebook, and gives page visitors an opportunity to professionally network and discover job opportunities. BeKnown is extending the benefits of its already free job listings by automatically adding jobs posted by alumni to the College profile page; thereby enabling alumni to help their employers find top talent while at the same time contributing to the college community.

With BeKnown College Pages:

• Any jobs posted by alumni on BeKnown are added to the College/University profile page and alumni with job opportunities can post jobs to students and recent alums for free
• School administrators can claim their University Profile page and grow a professional network of current students, graduating students and alumni
• Students can follow their school and build relationships/connections with alumni working at top companies and discover alumni jobs
• Students and alumni can share job opportunities and connect professionally

More than 3,500 college and university profile pages are currently available in BeKnown, complete with data from IPEDS, the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, and primary source for data on colleges, universities, and technical and vocational postsecondary institutions in the United States. The College Pages are also available globally, allowing school administrators to claim their College Pages for establishing professional connections with graduating students and alumni.

This announcement immediately follows the global roll out the Jobs Tab for BeKnown, a new feature that provides employers with even more recruitment opportunities in BeKnown by automatically distributing brand content and jobs to a company’s Facebook page, leveraging a brand’s existing fan base to reach active and passive job seekers at no cost to the company.
