Workforce Management recently [17] reported that a number of niche job boards catering to military veterans are unhappy with the Department of Defense’s awarding of a contract to Monster’s site Military.com. Under the exclusive contract, Military.com will power a new DOD site aimed at helping veterans transition back into civilian life, [18] TurboTAP.org. As such, all registered users will be poured into Monster’s database of jobseekers, and only listings from Monster/Military.com will be posted on the site. The niche boards, including [19] Vetjobs.com, [20] MilitaryHire, and [21] CorporateGray claim that Monster received preferential treatment in that the bidding process was not opened up to other sites in a fair, competitive process. The 3 sites are calling for the Government Accountability Office to investigate the contract.
