Currently, both CareerBuilder and Dice Holdings are being shopped. With the recent acquisitions of LinkedIn, Indeed, Monster, and SimplyHired, all of the big recognizable brands in the job board industry are all changing ownership. Generally, they are trading at a steep discount to prior valuations. Their new owners are not in the advertising or job board business.
It’s worth noting that CareerBuilder is better understood as a Talent Acquisition software company. That said, the firm’s namesake job board is an enduring piece of the business. Meanwhile, CraigsList has eliminated the free posting.
