Monster, CareerBuilder file bankruptcy while Wireless Estimator’s telecom job board remains strong

While Monster and CareerBuilder collapse under their own weight, one platform continues to thrive by sticking to its roots: the wireless infrastructure industry.

While Monster and CareerBuilder fall off the cliff, collapsing under their own weight, and filing for bankruptcy yesterday, one platform continues to thrive by sticking to its roots: the Wireless Estimator Telecom Job Board.

In a world where the once-mighty Monster and CareerBuilder are being sold off for parts like rusted-out Buicks in a bankruptcy junkyard, there’s one job board that not only survived a highly competitive marketplace but also outperformed it. The Wireless Estimator job board has quietly, consistently, and effectively served the wireless infrastructure community for over two decades, and it remains a strong resource.

Why? Because it never tried to be everything to everyone.

Monster and CareerBuilder spent years ballooning into generalist giants, trying to appeal to every sector from aerospace to zoology. That might win you a Super Bowl ad, but not staying power. Eventually, they became too bloated to pivot, too broad to be useful, and too outdated to compete with niche platforms like Wireless Estimator, as well as to meet the evolving demands of the industry. As the industry evolved, they stalled—and the market took notice.

Meanwhile, Wireless Estimator remained hyper-focused on the wireless infrastructure contracting space—a sector with real jobs, real needs, and real results. Contractors, tower techs, project managers, engineers, and executives didn’t have to wade through a sea of irrelevant listings or AI-generated fluff to find career-building opportunities. They came to a job board built by the industry, for the industry.

Here’s why we’re still standing:
  • Focused audience: Our readership is the workforce. Companies know they’re not shouting into the void—they’re reaching and hiring telecom professionals already in the trenches (or 200 feet up a monopole).

  • Free access: No subscription fees. No algorithms holding your post hostage. No paid unread email messages. Just unparalleled industry visibility of those seeking telecom jobs.

  • Built-in trust: Over 20 years of consistent industry coverage, resources, and results have created a loyal audience that doesn’t need to be convinced—it’s already engaged.

  • We didn’t forget our purpose: We connect companies with qualified talent. That’s it. No mergers, no media empires, no bloat—just results with our telecom job board.

As the obituaries roll in for Monster and CareerBuilder, there’s a lesson here: sometimes, staying in your lane is precisely how you get ahead.

While they chased every industry vertical on the planet, we doubled down on wireless—and in the process, built one of the most successful and enduring telecom job boards in the infrastructure contracting industry.
