Press Release Summary = Employers will have more luck finding the best job
applicants if they simply post jobs on their own websites. Search engines like
Hound can locate these employer web pages and save employers from having to post on
crowded commercial job boards.

Press Release Body = Pasadena, CA, July 31, 2007-A. Harrison Barnes, the founder of
Hound.com, an employment search engine that displays job listings from employer
career pages exclusively, stated today that employers should post their jobs on
their own websites before advertising them elsewhere. According to Barnes,
employers who post their jobs online will (1) likely get more qualified applications
over time and (2) save considerable amounts of money in recruiting costs in the long
run.

"Because search engines like Hound, Google, and Yahoo! can search the web, employers
who consistently update their career pages and have jobs on them are likely to get
the most qualified applicants," said Barnes. "This is especially true for
hard-to-fill positions. When an employer puts their jobs on their website, they are
effectively opening up their jobs to everyone who uses any search engine, and their
jobs will also be found by passive job seekers simply investigating their particular
profession on the web."

"A job can also stay up until it is filled (and will not have to be reposted), there
is no character limit, and the employer can convey through images and words what
they want to about the particular job and their company. Moreover, there are so
many paid job boards out there that most employers might need to advertise on three
to five separate job boards to have any hope of reaching the candidates they are
seeking. When an employer posts their job on their website, they are opening it up
to the world."

In addition, Barnes pointed out that it is completely free for employers to post
jobs on their own websites.

Barnes believes that in the very near future, the best (and only) way for employers
to advertise positions will be by simply posting notices on their websites to be
picked up by search engines like Hound. Hound concentrates exclusively on showing
job seekers employment listings found on employer websites.
