| How is HotGigs.com different from job
boards such as Monster.com or HotJobs? |
Most "job boards" are designed to help people
seeking employment to find full time jobs. The main users of the site
are Human Resources representatives that are seeking full time employees.
While there are consulting and staffing firms that post jobs and search
for resumes online, they are mainly seeking for full time employees and
NOT for sub-contractors. Most corporate managers wouldn't think to use sites such as these to
identify consultants or temporary workers, and frankly wouldn't pay the
fees to use the sites in this fashion. HotGigs.com is free for corporate hiring and vendor managers to use which
means that they can search and find your profile faster and easier than
any other site. |
| How is HotGigs different from most other Freelance
sites for independent consultants? |
HotGigs.com isn't just for Independents & Freelancers, but is where
companies can source consultants from all possible providers including
their prefferred staffing & consulting vendors. HotGigs.com goal is
to provide them with options from all sources including vendors
and independents so that they can compare rates and availability
across all segments of the market when needing outsourced talent. HotGigs.com is a consulting search engine that provides companies with
easy & instant search results when seeking contract/consulting resources,
and does NOT require them to entering exhausting requistions that get
emailed to a list of consultants & firms that could then overwhelm
them with responses. HotGigs.com will then direclty connect companies with the consultants
(or firms) when they are interested to help enhance your direct access
to each other in the future. |
| How is HotGigs.com promoted and how do new companies,
consultants, and vendors find the HotGigs.com website? |
HotGigs.com is launching during the 1st quarter of 2004, so we are
actively promoting the site using online keyword campaigns, email campaigns,
and with telemarketing campaigns to large, medium, and small sized companies
nationally. HotGigs users also invite their peer consultants and vendors by the hundreds
as they build their Personal
Contact Lists which helps link them to each other on an ongoing basis
and assist each other in finding gigs through the network. Companies that choose to use the HotGigs.com Network to identify consultants
will typically notify their entire network of vendors that they should
update their inventory of availalble consultants in the site, and then
will have all of their internal managers use the HotGigs Consultant Search
Engine to identify consultants within their preferred vendors. Vendors that want to streamline their communication with both clients
and consultants can upload their contacts into the HotGigs PCL also and
have a dynamic link that will help them stay focused on activity that
builds their business, versus the busy-work of simply trying to keep up
with the never changing world of consultants (and their availability)
and open gigs. |
