Internet Gold's MSN-Israel and Redmatch to Establish Israeli Online Employment
Site as a Joint Venture
Friday July 22, 1:30 am ET
PETACH TIKVA, Israel, July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Internet Gold (NASDAQ:
IGLD, TASE: IGLD) today announced that MSN-Israel, its 50.1% owned joint-venture
with Microsoft Corp. (49.9% owned), has signed a strategic agreement with
Redmatch, one of the world's largest online employment companies. Under the
terms of the agreement, MSN-Israel and Redmatch will jointly develop a new
Hebrew language employment site. The new site will be owned jointly by the two
companies (50.1%-MSN-Israel and 49.9%-Redmatch). It will be hosted and promoted
on the MSN-Israel portal and launched during the next few months.
Redmatch, a fast-growing Israeli company, has been named by BusinessWeek as an
emerging competitor to Monster.com, the world's largest online employment site.
Redmatch is differentiated by the breadth of its database, which currently
stores more than a million resumes and it obtains help-wanted ads daily from
more than 500 newspapers throughout the world. In addition, Redmatch's powerful
and proprietary search tools are used by thousands of employers as a highly
effective way to identify the applicants most appropriate for each job.
Commenting on the news, Uri Adoni, CEO of MSN-Israel, said, "We are delighted to
join with Redmatch in bringing its proven model to the local market. We are
confident that this venture will produce a high value-added service offered for
a reasonable fee, and that it will attract a wide community of employers and job
seekers to the site itself as well as to the MSN-Israel portal. As such, I
believe it will become a significant driver of our future revenues."
Daniel Avidor, President and COO of Redmatch, added, "We have chosen MSN-Israel
as our Israeli partner due to the visibility of its brand name and its openness
to entrepreneurial initiatives. We are confident that the Redmatch business
model that has proven so successful in Europe and the US will be equally
successful in Israel."
