Hound.com, which searches employer career webpages only, is a new, free tool that will streamline recruiters' jobs and boost their business.

Pasadena, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/10/2007 -- Because Hound.com only displays jobs from employers' career webpages, recruiters will find that they have an edge on the competition if they use the site.

"Hound is a very useful tool that I think recruiters are going to use often throughout their business endeavors," said Hound.com CEO A. Harrison Barnes. "Because many of Hound's jobs have only been manually dug up by a few people and not posted on commercial job boards, recruiters will be able to find more active and untapped jobs for their clients."

Hound.com's sophisticated search engine is designed to only find job listings posted on employers' webpages—which tend to have the most current and sought-after job ads. Hound.com effectively disregards listings from job boards because they tend to be outdated advertisements of jobs for which numerous candidates have already applied.

The distinctive and rewarding results returned by Hound.com are also completely free. There are no fees attached to the site. Using Hound.com is as easy as using your favorite Internet search engine.

"At Hound, we're aiming to have the purest and most comprehensive collection of active jobs in the world for the best price: free," said Barnes.

With today’s launch of its user forum, Hound.com, the Internet’s premier job search engine that only searches employers’ career web pages, is opening the lines of communication between job seekers, allowing them to share opinions and comments about companies and jobs.

Pasadena, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/08/2007 -- In addition to providing streamlined access to jobs found only on employer websites, Hound.com has officially opened its public online forum for users to discuss companies and their jobs.

"Access to unbiased information about companies and their jobs is crucial to any good job search. We're not trying to censor anything here," said Hound.com CEO A. Harrison Barnes. "Our forum gives users the opportunity to share their loudest opinions and discuss what is really happening in today's job-search community."

Hound.com, which has been changing the way people search for jobs since March, is notorious for not accepting or doing any advertising. The site aims to be the "purest" job board in the world by putting the job seeker's interests first.

"This is just another reason why Hound is not advertising right now," said Barnes. "We want to level the playing field. Our job seekers need to recognize that we're not influenced by anyone but them."

On Hound.com's forum, users can post questions, answers, and comments about specific companies and their jobs. This will help the job seeker get a leg up on the competition and jumpstart his or her career search. Discussions regarding topics such as resumes, job locations, and salaries can educate users on their industries and help them establish connections with their industry colleagues and affiliates.

"Part of putting the job seeker first is giving him or her a voice and a place to share information. And that's what we're doing with this forum," said Barnes.

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.

Pasadena, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/01/2007 -- 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.

Hound.com delivers its users even more jobs than commercial job boards and recruiting firms because it electronically monitors only employer websites.

Pasadena, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/27/2007 -- Hound.com founder A. Harrison Barnes thinks the best way for all but the highest-paid and most-qualified job seekers to get jobs is by applying directly for jobs found on employer websites. Barnes believes that because most employers do not use recruiting firms and most jobs are now advertised on employer websites (rather than niche or major commercial job boards), all but the most highly qualified employees should seek out jobs on employer websites before using commercial job boards.

"There are so many companies out there you would not believe it," said Barnes. "The number of positions on employer websites is staggering and dwarfs every major job board out there in volume. This is where all the jobs are. Most employers are not going to pay $500 to post a job on a major job board, place an ad in a newspaper, or use a recruiter. Therefore, on behalf of every job seeker in America, I am going to go to their career pages and show people all the jobs out there I can find. I think this is going to change the way the world gets jobs."

To that end, Barnes has set out to electronically monitor every single employer website in the world through his new search engine, Hound.com. He is on track to have more than 1 million American employer websites added to Hound.com by the end of 2009. Hound.com has an editorial review board that reviews employer websites carefully before adding them to the search engine. Employers who do not regularly update their job listings or who seem to be "fishing" for resumes rather than listing actual jobs are banned from the search engine and then reviewed again after 90 days. Hound displays no recruiter ads or jobs from other job boards.

According to Barnes, there are seven reasons most job seekers are better off searching employer career pages through Hound:

1. Employers pay nothing to post jobs on their websites, and there are more than 1 million employer career pages in America alone. Some of these sites have more than 4,000 jobs on them. Conversely, most major job boards charge as much as $500 for a single posting. Most employers will post jobs on their own websites before posting them on job boards.
2. There are vastly more positions on employer websites than there are anywhere else.
3. Employers are more likely to update their job listings on their own websites than they are on a job board. Accordingly, the job openings on employer job boards are "fresher."
4. An employer will have to pay up to 40% of a candidate's annual salary if it uses a recruiter, while posting a job on its own website costs nothing. Most employers will post jobs on their own websites before they contact recruiters.
5. Many job boards are jungles of recruiter ads and opportunities that more often than not are posted for the purpose of "resume mining" rather than actual hiring—virtually everyone knows of someone who has been scammed by a "fake" employer ad on a job board.
6. When you apply directly to an employer, there is no middleman involved.
7. When you apply directly to an employer through its website, the employer feels like you have come to the site out of personal interest, investigated the company, and really want to work there. Your application is taken more seriously. When you apply for a position through a public job board, your application is generally one of hundreds of applications the employer has to sift through.

Hound currently accepts no advertising and is being funded 100% by Barnes.

"I get criticized almost daily for not accepting money on this project or advertising," said Barnes. "I want to change the way the world gets jobs by doing it better, faster, and cheaper. I do not think a lot of people realize how powerful this search engine is and how much better both employers and job seekers will be served by it. This thing is going to change the world."

Hound uses a complex algorithm to display the most relevant employer-webpage results for job seekers. In addition, the site shows no positions from other job boards, no sponsored results, and no recruiter jobs. According to Barnes, his objective is to give users the purest results possible when they are searching for positions.
