A2Zmoonlighter.com Offers Service Free for Employers as Member Growth and Revenues Surge.
Over 100,000 professionals and 3,000 clients register for Web site That Matches Employers and Moonlighters.
Pittsburgh, PA - August 21, 2001 - A2Zmoonlighter.com (www.A2Zmoonlighter.com), the leading Web site that matches employers with moonlighting and freelance professionals, announced today that it has seen a surge in revenue and growth since the launch of its new business model in early July. A2Zmoonlighter.com now offers subscription-based memberships to moonlighting professionals and charges them a transaction fee for secured projects while keeping its matching service free for employers seeking part-time help.
Under A2Zmoonlighter.com's new business model, professionals pay transaction fees ranging from five to ten percent of the value of the secured projects. In addition, serious and quality professionals can subscribe for Choice Memberships to set themselves apart and secure more projects. Quarterly subscription fees range from $29.95 to $69.95.
By charging professionals, A2Zmoonlighter.com is able to provide its service free of charge to employers seeking part-time talent. Employers can connect with moonlighting talent for their small projects without incurring the high costs associated with traditional recruiting methods.
A highly efficient marketing channel for professionals to secure side work, A2Zmoonlighter.com has become a destination site for employers and moonlighters alike to connect to get the job done.
"A2Zmoonlighter.com has provided me with more work than my own agent! I was laid off a few months ago and having this site really gives me a sense of empowerment." Says Caroline Vanderhoeven, a creative professional who recently completed a project for Sterling Rose Productions through A2Zmoonlighter.com.
"We are now the Digital Yellow Pages of Moonlighting Talent." said Inder Guglani, Co-Founder and CEO. "We offer a win-win situation for both the employers and the professionals. Employers can connect with quality talent for free and serious professionals can market themselves to secure more moonlighting work."
The concept has been endorsed by over 3,000 clients including Siemens (NYSE: SI), McGraw Hill (NYSE: MHP), Fujitsu (TSE: 6702) who have used A2Zmoonlighter.com's unique service to connect with moonlighting talent.
"I was in need of a part-time person to work at our tradeshow. I accessed the Internet
and low and behold A2ZMoonlighter.com was able to fill the position
A2Zmoonlighter.com saved our company money and if the need ever arises in the future, we'll be sure to contact them again," said Cindy Wood, event specialist for McKesson Information Solutions. (NYSE: MCK)
