Non-GAAP net income attributable to the company was $7 million, or $0.08 per share, compared to $7 million, or $0.08 per share in the first quarter of 2014.

In February, Monster committed to implement a series of cost savings initiatives to reduce costs. The initiatives include a global workforce reduction of approximately 300 associates, lease exit costs, impairment of certain assets, and office and general expense controls.

"Our first quarter profitability, cash flow and leverage metrics all exceeded our expectations," said Tim Yates, president and chief executive officer.

"The bookings momentum we saw in our core North American Careers segment continued from previous quarters with six percent year-over-year growth. While we are pleased with the recent bookings trends, and expect them to continue, revenue growth and sales execution continues to be a primary focus."
