Headhunter.net Helps Freelancers Fly Solo; Launches New Site Sologig.com, Virtual Marketing Agent for Independent Professionals.


ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 24, 2000--Headhunter.net, (www.headhunter.net)(NASDAQ:HHNT), a leading online recruiting site, announced today its entrance into the virtually untapped consulting website marketplace.

Sologig.com is a new website community, dedicated solely to marketing the talents of the growing number of freelancers, consultants and independent professionals (IPs). Providing a forum for IPs, Sologig.com will allow "soloists" to use the Internet to streamline efforts spent on marketing themselves to the nation's top employers. Backed by the trusted Headhunter.net brand, Sologig.com will operate as a wholly owned property of the Atlanta-based company. The new website community will leverage its marketing position by launching with more than 20,000 project listings available for searching.

 

"Sologig.com is saving the 8.5 million(a) freelancers, IPs and consultants in the United States the time, resources and money spent competitively marketing their services and gaining awareness on their own," said Bob Montgomery, Headhunter.net's President and CEO. "Sologig.com aims to make the marketing process easier and keep the pipeline of projects full for these independent professionals. We handle their marketing and provide them with new opportunities, allowing the IPs to focus more time on revenue generating activities."

From now until January 1st, 2001, the base service will be free to those who sign on with Sologig.com. After the first of the year, IPs will select the membership level that suits their individual needs, based on the desired degree of performance. They control the exposure of their services to potential new customers by choosing where their profile appears within a listing. A reverse of the standard Headhunter.net model, the Sologig.com model is consistent with the Awareness Business Strategy, designed to directly benefit the independent professional.

"An awareness-based virtual marketing website provides the streamlined simplicity that our IP clients need," said Keith Brannan, Director, Sologig.com. "By leveraging the reach, traffic and customer base of Headhunter.net, we have the project content and connections necessary to handle marketing activities. Now IPs can spend their time generating revenue instead of having to market their services through cold calling or other traditional methods."
