Founded in 1995, Careerbuilder.com claims to be the largest online job site in the United States. A chief rival is Monster.com, which pioneered digital recruitment in 1994. Its parent company, Monster Worldwide, Inc., also offers similar services in other countries with local listings. For more variety, feel free to use Linkedin.com or Dice.com in this assignment.  All of these companies earn revenue from fees charged to employers for posting jobs and searching through resumes for qualified candidates, and also from online advertising.
