After several years of underperformance by its job boards in Brazil and Mexico, it is not a surprise that Seek is exiting Latin America. To be clear, there is not a Seek-labeled site in Latin America; rather, there are several…
Yes, you read that right: online job ad revenue shrinks, at least according to a new report. Not the way I usually like to start the news roundup - and you'll see that plenty of sites are showing revenue growth…
