Monster plan to counter fall in jobs vacancies

ONE of the leading online recruitment agencies has come up with a novel idea to help fill 500 jobs on Monday, June 9, 2003.

On that day applicants will be given free access to the Monster.ie’s website through designated internet cafes located in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Waterford. The company has devised this novel plan to help counter the fall in jobs vacancies.

Alan Townsend, group managing director, said his site now carries about 3,000 job vacancies against 4,500 18 months ago, reflecting a softer jobs market due to the slow down in the economy.
