Page 2 of 2

In order to stay ahead of its thriving competition, Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) needs to follow a strategy that’s similar to LinkedIn and Monster’s. Online recruitment is now a big and rapidly growing industry, which presents a huge opportunity for the social networking site to branch out its revenue streams.

Conclusion

Monster Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE:MWW)’s strengths are in multiple areas, such as its compelling growth in net income, attractive valuation and a robust financial position with reasonable debt on its balance sheet. As a cost cutting initiative, it has reduced operations in unprofitable regions. Additionally, it completed a restructuring program that will yield $50 million annually. With strong fundamentals and robust growth potential from the Asia-Pacific region, I believe Monster is a hold for now.
