How to Delete a HotJobs Account

To delete your Monster+HotJobs account, you must delete your Yahoo profile.

In early 2010, Monster purchased the Yahoo HotJobs recruitment site from Yahoo. The $225 million dollar deal brought all Yahoo HotJobs account holders into the Monster Job Search network. To delete a Monster+HotJobs account, you must delete your entire Yahoo account. Doing so will entirely remove your access to all customized content in the Yahoo network.

Instructions

1. Sign in to the Yahoo account deletion page in Resources.

2. Review the termination agreement. This agreement explains what services are lost when an account is terminated, and presents important considerations, such as premium services that should be cancelled.

3. Enter your password in the "Confirm your identity" box.

4. Enter the alpha-numeric security code displayed in the associated box. If you can not make out the letters, you can listen to an audio code, or change the code to a different image by clicking the "Try a new code" option.

5. Click the "Terminate this Account" option under the word YES, which appears in bold text.

Tips & Warnings

• As an alternative to deleting your entire Yahoo account, Yahoo recommends making your Monster+HotJobs account anonymous by editing all required fields to contain alternate characters, such as the letter "X."

• Deleting your Yahoo account removes your access to mail, messenger, premium services and all customized content on the Yahoo network.
