Facebook has announced a new deal with CareerBuilder that will enable CareerBuilder clients to run job recruiting campaigns within select portions of the Facebook member network. Certainly, it was only a matter of time before the number one site among teens and college students did a job-related deal. It's a huge win for CareerBuilder, and a pretty large blow to Monster, whose college-oriented MonsterTRAK service had been the category leader among students to date, but news of this deal, assuming it's executed and managed correctly, will definitely put a damper on rival efforts. Based on some of the details of the deal, my guess is that this is far and away the largest advertiser deal Facebook has secured to date. I would not be surprised if this is a guaranteed $20MM to $30MM a year for them.
