Monster.com Chooses SkillsNET to Study Occupation and Industry Classification Framework
by Judd McCutchen
 

SkillsNET has recently completed a work effort with Monster.com, an industry leader in the online job board and career space.  This initiative provided Monster with a perspective from experts in the field of job analysis and classification in order to achieve a more comprehensive solution. 

Through this project, a win-win relationship was forged. SkillsNET was granted the opportunity to work with yet another industry leading organization, and Monster was provided with a more robust job categorization framework. These improvements will enable Monster's customers to identify more targeted candidates, and will also allow job seekers to obtain more relevant job search results.

In addition to verifying comprehensive and complete industry and job categorization schemas, SkillsNET ensured that Monster’s system aligned with accepted industry classification standards, such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) and the Department of Labor’s Occupational Information Network (O*NET).  “We are pleased that a high-visibility company such as Monster chose us to provide them with expert knowledge and recommendations on a framework that will one day play a critical role in the functionality of their website applications”, said SkillsNET’s President, Michael Brown.
