New Website Matches Companies and Moonlighters IT professionals, creative employees, business consultants and office staff use service Pittsburgh, PA - December 4, 2000 - The demand for moonlighting professionals appears to be healthy, sending more than 50,000 professionals and 1,200 companies to A2Zmoonlighter.com, a website that focuses exclusively on the "moonlighting" segment of the human resource market. A2Zmoonlighter.com matches moonlighting professionals with companies through its network of sites in each niche. The number of professionals signed up across the network is growing by more than 5,000 professionals per month with ITmoonlighter.com's roster at 14,000 IT professionals, OFFICEmoonlighter.com at 5,000 office personnel, CREATIVEmoonlighter.com at 5,000 creative professionals, and BIZmoonlighter.com at 1,000 business professionals. Since the sites' facelift last week, some 1200 new professionals and 25 companies signed up within a span of 5 days. "The goal of A2Zmoonlighter.com is to serve as the aspirin for HR headaches of staffing short-term and part-time needs. We evolved to fill the needs of the businesses that cannot justify paying recruiters, temp agencies, or consulting companies huge sums of money for short-term talent," said Inder Guglani, co-founder, president and chief executive officer. "A2Zmoonlighter.com provides businesses an avenue to tap into talent that they may not be able to afford or find on a full-time basis, whether they want to create a database application, design a website, or write a business plan. Moonlighters' hourly rates are typically 30 to 40 percent less than those of consulting companies, making this a win-win situation for both the moonlighters as well as the companies." ITmoonlighter.com is the company's first and best-known application. It has met with phenomenal success given the great demand and high prices for technology expertise today. "From an accounting firm looking for an Excel programmer for 10 hours to Cisco Systems looking for an Oracle 8i DBA for two days, ITmoonlighter.com's unique positioning in the marketplace has attracted businesses across all sizes and industries," said Mr. Guglani. CREATIVEmoonlighter.com is a solution for finding inspired talent to meet the creative needs of a company from logo design, advertising campaigns, website design, and photography. BIZmoonlighter.com is a resource for top-notch business talent to help with specialized business tasks such as accounting, strategy development, and market research without hiring an expensive full timer. OFFICEmoonlighter.com is an ideal office staffing solution for small businesses and entrepreneurs who need office help to manage accounts, meet deadlines, and provide office admin assistance on a part-time or short-term basis. "Moonlighters fill the void in today's tight labor market," said Mr. Guglani. "We are extremely pleased by the response we have received from both moonlighters and companies in search of extra help. Our phenomenal growth of 300 percent in three short months -- from 8,000 professionals on ITmoonlighter.com to over 25,000 across all sister sites -- is testimony to the great need for the service we provide. In October 2000, we generated our first revenues, which is an important validation an entrepreneur looks for. " A2Zmoonlighter.com is based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and was co-founded in 1998 by Mr. Guglani. Prior to starting this company, Mr. Guglani served for seven years as a Business Planner at FedEx Ground, and was credited with developing and executing a five-year geographic expansion plan, increasing the company service coverage area from twenty-seven percent to the entire contiguous area of the USA. Honored four times with the President's award for excellence, Mr. Guglani was also instrumental in the financial turnaround of seventy-five business units over a period of 12 months. Fairview Funds, based in Pittsburgh, is the initial investor making a $500,000 investment and equity arrangement with A2Zmoonlighter.com. |
