Monstered by their owners: The Randstad and Apollo debacle in Europe | ep109

Episodes of the Inside Job Boards and Recruitment Marketplaces Podcast are typically 15-minutes. Long enough to get a good understanding of the topic, not long enough to bore the socks off of our audience.

Cohosts Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site and Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group (Marketplaces / Classifieds) knew going into today’s episode that the topic needed more time to do it justice, and so we are giving it that time. Our guest is Matteo Nicolo, director of international sales for CareerBuilder + Monster.

Together, we talk a little about the history of Careerbuilder and Monster before they were combined by Randstad and Apollo Global Management, Inc., how they were operated after that combination, the impact of the recent Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and how terribly they’re treating the couple of hundred European employees despite having far more financial resources than necessary in order to treat them humanely.
