eHire to Launch Pilot Version of Ground-Breaking Job-Matching Technology on March 1, 2009

First 5,000 Job Seekers to Join eHire to Have Free Access Through Pilot Program

New York, NY February 6, 2009 --- eHire, an innovative online job matching community, announced today the upcoming March 2009 launch of its pilot program. The first 5,000 job seekers to join eHire will have free access through the pilot program.

eHire has built the first low-cost candidate-centric and transparent job matching online recruitment platform that gives both candidates a voice in the hiring process and enables recruiters/employers to efficiently find qualified candidates. In essence, the eHire community-based application is the "eHarmony" for online recruiting, and includes features such as a multi-layered matching engine, a robust scoring mechanism, social networking components, comparative application and qualification views, career check-up services, and the automatic parsing of resumes, and more.

According to Joe Sabrin, Founder and President of eHire, “Finding a job is a process fraught with uncertainty and anxiety for everyone involved. Employers worry about finding the right person. Candidates never know where they stand or if the job they applied for is truly right for them. These issues are heightened by the recession. Our goal is to help 1 million people get new jobs in 2009.”

Ultimately, revenue will be generated from both candidates and recruiters/employers; candidate pricing will utilize a subscription model while recruiters/employers will pay success-only fees.

“This platform has been evolving since the late nineties,” Mr. Sabrin explained. “It marries 40 years of recruiting experience to the latest Web 2.0 software innovations and leverages social networking to reflect the needs and perspectives of everyone participating in the process. eHire sees the job-search process as a mutually cooperative relationship which can be improved and accelerated by the skillful application of disruptive technology.”
