Second Quarter Results

Sal Iannuzzi, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Monster
Worldwide, said, "Despite the challenging operating environment, we continue to
invest in product innovation, technology, new verticals, global reach and sales
force expansion, while at the same time successfully reducing operating expense
and lowering our cost basis. We are confident that these initiatives, combined
with the powerful Monster brand and our strong balance sheet, will capture
global market share and provide a solid base for future long term growth and
profitability."

Mr. Iannuzzi added, "We are very encouraged by the beta tests for our new
employer search product. Customer feedback continues to be very positive. This
technology better enables recruiters to search relevant skills, work experience,
education and other meaningful qualifications, and then analyzes, ranks and
compares the information quickly and efficiently. Monster is driving efficiency
and cost savings for our customers and improving our overall value proposition."

Total revenue was $223 million, compared with $354 million in the comparable
quarter of 2008, a 37% decline due to the global economic recession. Monster
generated 42% of its revenue outside the United States and total revenue was
negatively impacted by $16 million from unfavorable foreign exchange rates.

Careers non-GAAP revenue decreased 40% to $191 million. North America generated
revenue of $102 million compared with $164 million in the prior year period, a
38% decline. International non-GAAP revenue was $89 million, a 43% decline over
the prior year period, or a 37% decrease excluding currency and the contribution
from ChinaHR. Internet Advertising & Fees generated revenue of $33 million,
essentially flat with last year`s second quarter revenue.

Consolidated operating expenses were $223 million, and the loss from continuing
operations was approximately $1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to
income from continuing operations of $19 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, in
the comparable 2008 period. Operating results for the second quarter of 2008
included a $40 million charge for settlement costs and litigation related to its
historical stock option practices. Foreign exchange rates negatively impacted
consolidated operating income by approximately $1 million.

Income from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2009
includes pre-tax pro forma adjustments that include: $5 million of expenses
associated with the Company`s restructuring plan; $2 million of legal fees,
primarily related to the Company`s obligation to indemnify former officers for
their defense in connection with the ongoing litigation related to historical
stock option grant practices; and a $0.7 million reduction to total revenue due
to the purchase accounting adjustment for ChinaHR. As a result, the Company
recorded total pre-tax pro forma adjustments of approximately $8 million. These
pro forma items are described in the "Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP
Financial Measures" and are reconciled to the GAAP measure in the accompanying
tables.

On a non-GAAP basis, the Company generated revenue of $224 million and $216
million of operating expenses. In last year`s second quarter, revenue was $354
million and operating expenses were $276 million. Income from continuing
operations was $4 million, or $0.03 per share, compared to $49 million, or $0.40
per diluted share, in the comparable prior year period.

Monster ended the second quarter of 2009 with total available liquidity of $493
million, and net cash and marketable securities of $235 million, compared with
net cash and securities of $247 million at the end of the 2009 first quarter.

During the quarter, the Company paid back a total of $157 million under its
revolving credit lines, and currently has approximately $97 million classified
as debt on the balance sheet. Cash used from operating activities was $14
million compared to $14 million generated in the 2009 first quarter.

Capital expenditures were $11 million, down from $30 million in last year`s
second quarter and $15 million in the first quarter of this year. Approximately
$81 million of auction rate securities are classified as a long-term asset on
the consolidated balance sheet, and are included in the cash and marketable
securities balance as of June 30, 2009.

Monster Worldwide`s deferred revenue balance at June 30, 2009 was $290 million,
compared with last year`s second quarter balance of $470 million, and $345
million reported for the first quarter of 2009.

Six Months Results

Monster Worldwide reported total revenue of $477 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2009 compared to $721 million in the comparable period last year,
a 34% decrease, or 28% before the negative impact of foreign exchange rates.
Monster Careers revenue declined 37% to $413 million compared with $658 million
in the 2008 period. Internet Advertising & Fees reported revenue of $64 million,
a slight increase over the $63 million reported in the prior year period. The

Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has provided certain non-GAAP financial information as additional
information for its operating results. These measures are not in accordance
with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")
and may be different from non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. The
Company believes that its presentation of non-GAAP measures provides useful
information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business
trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations.

Non-GAAP revenue, operating expenses, operating income, operating margin, income
from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share all exclude certain
pro forma adjustments including: costs associated with the Company`s historical
stock option grant practices, related litigation and potential fines or
settlements; severance costs for former executive officers incurred in the
second quarter of 2007; costs related to the measures taken by the Company in
response to a security breach in August 2007; the strategic restructuring
actions initiated in the third quarter of 2007; and the fair value adjustment to
deferred revenue in connection with the acquisition of ChinaHR. The Company uses
these non-GAAP measures for reviewing the ongoing results of the Company`s core
business operations and in certain instances, for measuring performance under
certain of the Company`s incentive compensation plans. These non-GAAP measures
may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Operating income before depreciation and amortization ("OIBDA") is defined as
income from operations before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets,
amortization of stock based compensation and non-cash costs incurred in
connection with the Company`s restructuring program. The Company considers OIBDA
to be an important indicator of its operational strength. This measure
eliminates the effects of depreciation, amortization of intangible assets,
amortization of stock based compensation and non-cash restructuring costs from
period to period, which the Company believes is useful to management and
investors in evaluating its operating performance. OIBDA is a non-GAAP measure
and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other
companies.

Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operating activities less capital
expenditures. Free cash flow is considered a liquidity measure and provides
useful information about the Company's ability to generate cash after
investments in property and equipment. Free cash flow reflected herein is a
non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported
by other companies. Free cash flow does not reflect the total change in the
Company's cash position for the period and should not be considered a substitute
for such a measure.

Net cash and securities is defined as cash and cash equivalents plus short-term
and long-term marketable securities, less total debt. Total available liquidity
is defined as cash and cash equivalents, plus short-term and long-term
marketable securities plus unused borrowings under our credit facility. The
Company considers net cash and securities and total available liquidity to be an
important measure of liquidity and an indicator of its ability to meet its
ongoing obligations. The Company also uses net cash and securities and total
available liquidity, among other measures, in evaluating its choices for capital
deployment. Net cash and securities and total available liquidity are presented
herein as non-GAAP measures and may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures used by other companies.

Special Note:Except for historical information contained herein, the statements
made in this release, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.Such forward-looking statements involve certain risks and
uncertainties, including statements regarding the Company's strategic direction,
prospects and future results. Certain factors, including factors outside of our
control, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in
the forward-looking statements, including economic and other conditions in the
markets in which we operate, risks associated with acquisitions or dispositions,
competition, ongoing costs associated with the Company`s historical stock option
grant practices, costs associated with the restructuring and security breach,
and the other risks discussed in our Form 10-K and our other filings made with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, which discussions are incorporated in
this release by reference.
