CareerBuilder, which is the US’ largest online source for employment opportunities, will also become an exclusive content provider for Microsoft’s MSN Careers channel in the US. The deal will last until 2013.
The business alliance is also expanding on a global scale with MSN planning to launch CareerBuilder on MSN sites in most European countries by the middle of 2008 with several rolling out by the end of 2007.
CareerBuilder started to beef up its international presence last year by launching sites in the UK, Canada and India. Last month, the company acquired two Jobbguiden in Sweden and JobbingMall in The Netherlands.
Publishing and media firms Gannet, Tribune and McClatchy Company have also purchased similar minority stakes.
