RUMORED: For CareerBuilder + Monster, the Future is BOLD?
It is RUMORED that the gavel has dropped on the CareerBuilder + Monster auction, and here’s word on the street: JobGet is NOT the new owner of the ailing job search duo.
Although JobGet was the original stalking horse bidder in the Chapter 11 filing, it was ultimately outbid by Puerto Rican headquartered, BOLD.
The price? About 4x the initial bid price of $7MM.
And get this—BOLD was founded in 2005 by two former Monster employees, Doug Jackson and Jamie Freundlich.
Originally launched as LiveCareer in 2005, the company became BOLD in 2015. Since then, it has been on an acquisition streak—purchasing Zety in 2019, FlexJobs in 2023, and ResumeBuilder.com in 2024.
That’s all for now—but stay tuned.
Until next time,
Julie “The Doc” Sowash
