History
Founded in May 1995 by Larry Organ,[2] the website was bought six years later by TMP Worldwide, which added it to its Monster.com division.[3][4][5] When Monster and CareerBuilder merged in September 2024, funds managed by Apollo Global Management became the majority owner of Fastweb.[6]
On June 24, 2025, CareerBuilder + Monster filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in an effort to facilitate a sale of its job board operations to JobGet. The company listed assets between $50 million and $100 million, and liabilities between $100 million and $500 million.[7][8]
Also in 2025, it was announced that the Canadian media company Valnet had completed the acquisition of the American website.[9]
