Monster Energy is an American company that produces, markets, and distributes energy drinks. Founded in 2002, Monster Energy has gained popularity through strong advertising, marketing, and branding efforts, as well as through sponsorships of various sports events.

With operations in over 100 countries, Monster Energy currently employs over 3,000 people. The company offers graduate opportunities as part of its dedication to supporting young professionals. This dedication stems from Monster Energy’s early marketing efforts, which targeted college students and led to the brand’s success. Today, the company continues to focus on the younger demographic by providing opportunities for growth and development.

Monster’s US office faced a challenge of setting up a graduate hiring program but lacked internal resources to create a unified branded recruitment campaign, manage the large volume of applicants, and provide a consistent high-quality candidate experience. As a result, the US teams at Monster experienced high dropout rates from candidates during the recruitment process and were left with poor quality candidates.

To overcome this challenge, Monster sought an RPO partner who could help them hire more than 40 graduates annually, develop a custom sourcing and screening program, and design a scalable graduate hiring solution that could be utilized for years to come.
