Personicrecruitnews recently reported that although Monster.com has achieved critical mass in the United States, which is no mean feat, the company is not the dominant player in other countries, a fact that its online rivals highlight every chance they get. Last month Canadian job site Workopolis.com issued a press release called Mathematicians Wanted after Monster's Canadian unit Monster.ca made the claim that it housed the largest number of jobs in Canada. On November 9, Montreal-based Monster.ca banner ads say the site offered 7,000 jobs; while Workopolis had 40,799 jobs. On a traffic basis, an At Home Media Metrix Survey showed Workopolis.com garnered 339,000 unique visitors in September compared to Monster.ca's 273,000. A side note, Workopolis.com said that as of October it had generated C$1 million in revenues ever since its launch in January 2000.
