DETROIT--(Business Wire)--
Hired on the Spot, revolutionizing the way online job hunting is done, launched
its Web site www.hiredonthespot.com. The company takes a unique approach to the
job search challenge by incorporating social networking, allowing users to
connect with othersthrough blogging, and viral marketing to maximize visibility
and encourage differentiation from other job seekers. 

"Hired on the Spot addresses the ineffectiveness of traditional job board
strategies that focus on posting resumes and searching online databases," said
Chief Executive Officer, Ben Riggan. "We take an action-oriented approach
emphasizing the three key steps to the job hunt ─ Take Action, Get Noticed, Get
Hired ─ and use today`s technology to enhance the experience." 

Job seekers can create comprehensive employment profiles on the Hired on the
Spot Web site. The company advocates a Resume Revolution, emphasizing that an
individual`s uniqueness can`t be reduced to a traditional resume alone. 

Resumes are created using a proprietary quick-search format highlighting skills,
employment history and education. Responses to open-ended questions such as "Why
am I a great employee?" highlight additional characteristics and attributes.
Candidates also create video resumes and blogs. To enhance their visibility,
they order t-shirts imprinted with their resume! 

Hired on the Spot is an effective solution for employers who can save up to 75
percent on the cost of posting jobs. It also provides a go-to spot for
insightful information on candidates. 

Both job postings and job seeker information are accessible through Internet
search engines, another advantage of the site. 

"Traditional search strategies are changing. Job hunters and employers are
always exploring new avenues to connect with the job market and, through Hired
on the Spot, both have a resource to enhance the hiring process and their
personal experiences," said Chief Operating Officer, Wes Weiler.
