"We continue to enhance our eCommerce channel to offer tools and services that expedite the entire recruitment process, from posting the job, to screening applicants, to paying for services rendered."

"We are excited to add Monster.com, the largest online career site and a pioneer in its category, to the roster of merchants who accept PayPal," said Stephanie Tilenius, vice president of merchant services for PayPal.
