TweetMyJOBS Launches SafeTweet™ to Ensure Security of Online Job Postings

Platform Enhancements Protect Against Viruses, Phishing, Identity Theft and other Digital Scams Facing Online Job Boards

Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) August 30, 2010

TweetMyJOBS, the world’s largest and most comprehensive Twitter-based recruiting solution, today announced a significant enhancement to its platform with the launch of its new SafeTweet™ job posting functionality. Identity thieves use fraudulent job postings to trick job seekers into giving out personal information, and SafeTweet eliminates these risks by ensuring the security and validity of embedded URL’s in online job postings.

“In recent months, identity thieves have used job boards to steal personal information – and a common tactic involves sending emails offering employment to job seekers,” said Gary Zukowski, founder of TweetMyJOBS. “TweetMyJOBS is taking the lead to help protect online job seekers and brands from such attacks. By validating and confirming the source of a job posting, and using a special set of security credentials, we’re not only protecting our customers’ brands, but looking out for the job seeker who could very easily fall victim to virus and scams.”

All verified job postings tweeted by TweetMyJOBS will now contain the following signature: “… via SafeTweet by TweetMyJOBS.” This assures the job seeker that each hyperlink is the actual landing page to the job posting– and not a spammer, scammer, or phishing link.

“Brand integrity is very important for all of our customers – from the Fortune 100 companies we work with, to the emerging small-to-medium businesses,” added Zukowski. “Online job postings have become a major tool for recruiting and promoting a brand, and we’re committed to helping companies tackle this new medium safely and securely.”

TweetMyJOBS also recently added Facebook and LinkedIn functionality to further expand its social media recruitment platform. Last month alone, the company sent out 955,373 job tweets.

In conjunction with these platform enhancements, TweetMyJOBS also re-launched its Web site for job seekers and employers at http://TweetMyJOBS.com.

About TweetMyJOBS
Based in Charlotte, NC, TweetMyJOBS (http://TweetMyJOBS.com) is the largest Twitter job board in the world and a comprehensive Social Media recruiting solution.

Bizzuka Makes Inc. Magazine’s Fourth Annual List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies—the Inc. 5000

Bizzuka Ranks No. 1513 with Three-Year Sales Growth of 190 Percent - Web Development and Internet Marketing Company #1 in Lafayette and #8 in Louisiana

New York (PRWEB) August 30, 2010

Inc. magazine today ranked Bizzuka No. 1513 on its fourth annual Inc. 5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy—America’s independent-minded entrepreneurs. Music website Pandora, convenience store chain 7-Eleven, Brooklyn Brewery, and Radio Flyer, maker of the iconic children’s red wagon, are among the prominent brands featured on this year’s list.

“The leaders of the companies on this year’s Inc. 5000 have figured out how to grow their businesses during the longest recession since the Great Depression,” said Inc. president Bob LaPointe. “The 2010 Inc. 5000 showcases a particularly hardy group of entrepreneurs.”

Based in Lafayette, Louisiana, Bizzuka is one of the premier web development, content management, and Internet marketing firms in the United States. “We are proud of our top ten ranking in the state and to be among the 41 Louisiana companies who made this year’s list,” remarked CEO/Co-Founder, John Munsell. “To be number one in Lafayette, our hometown, is even more of an honor – especially given our firm’s relatively young age of seven years,” he added.

The 2010 Inc. 5000, unveiled today on Inc.com, serves as a unique illustration of the profound changes taking place in the U.S. economy. Despite the fact that most of this year’s measuring period of 2006-2009 took place during the latest recession, aggregate revenue among the companies on the list actually increased to $321.6 billion, up more than 50 percent from last year. This year’s Inc. 5000 employ a record 1.4 million people, up from one million on last year’s list. With unemployment remaining stubbornly high, policymakers and business leaders will do well to look to the Inc. 5000 companies for fresh ideas on achieving growth and creating jobs.

Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found on www.inc.com/5000.

The Web Development Kent Has Been Waiting For Lands Early

JB Creative Marketing, Kent’s premier exponent of online marketing solutions for small and medium sized businesses, has surpassed its own expectations by perfecting its new web development Kent service well ahead of schedule.

(PRWeb UK) August 30, 2010

The over achievement of this delivery will come as no surprise to the company’s existing customers, all of whom have nothing but glowing reports of the service they’ve received: and JB Creative Marketing itself is reported to be “delighted” with the smooth transition to their updated web management procedures.

JB Creative Marketing, which offers a full spectrum of modern marketing solutions for the Internet business, views its web development Kent initiative as its flagship. No-one, obviously, can run an Internet business without a web site: it makes sense, then, that a company dedicated to maximising Internet potential would put its most impressive eggs in the web site improvement basket.

Even a quick look at the techniques, systems and packages offered by JB Creative Marketing’s newest incarnation of its web service gives plenty of evidence that their confidence is not misplaced. The service (which is tailored, in every instance, to meet the creative marketing needs of the individual client – a welcome change from the current practice of treating every customer as though they had the same business) starts with a thorough review of current web site performance. Once JB Creative Marketing’s web development Kent team has taken a good look at the way a site currently relates to search engines, other sites that could be promoting complementary goods and services, and existing ad campaigns, it offers what it believes are the right solutions – however big or small.

That’s an important quality in itself. For small businesses, probably the most telling of all. JB Creative Marketing is not prepared or attempting to squeeze money out of clients where that money isn’t necessary. If a company’s site only needs minor, inexpensive tweaks to make it work better, then minor inexpensive tweaks is what it will get. If, on the other hand, it requires a full overhaul and relaunch, the web development Kent team will advise accordingly: advice that, according to a spokes person for the site, is always taken up,

“precisely because our clients know we only tell them to do that if it’s really necessary.”

JB Creative Marketing’s reputation, then, is one built on trust. That trust comes from twin sources: one, its clients’ recognition that it will only ask for big bucks where big bucks need to be spent; and two, its’ obvious prior success. Clearly, this is a company that knows what it is doing – and its’ clients respond to it in an appropriately trusting fashion.

The simple steps JB Creative Marketing propose in their web development Kent package work equally well for every eventuality. By sticking to a carefully thought out six step programme, the company is able to offer the same efficiency and success to every client – and, most importantly of all, to show those clients exactly how they intend to achieve that success. In effect, it’s a “try before you buy” promise that allows customers to see proof that the suggestions JB Creative Marketing makes will have good results. No wonder they’re pleased.

JB Creative Marketing is a Kent based total marketing solutions company.

Local Florist Expands Operations By Opening New Retail Stores In Indiana

Business is booming at Oberer's Flowers. The nations fifth largest florist will open 4 retail stores in Indianapolis, additional stores planned for Columbus and Cincinnati Ohio. The company expects to hire 15 workers in Indianapolis and 10 new workers in Dayton.

Dayton, OH (PRWEB) August 29, 2010

Oberer’s Flowers, Ohio’s largest florist announced today that it is expanding into neighboring Indiana and will open 4 retail stores in the Indianapolis metropolitan area. The companies first out of state retail store is located in Carmel, Indiana. Construction has begun and the 3,000 square ft store will open on October 1st.

“We’re very excited to bring our florist to Indiana,” says Rob Spikol, COO for Oberer’s Flowers. Located just north of Indianapolis in Hamilton County, Carmel is one of Indiana’s fastest growing cities. A dynamic city with award-winning schools, a thriving business environment and is very family-oriented “It’s a perfect match for our business.” Spikol says the company will give away 3,000 high value flower arrangements on its opening day to local residents.

The Carmel location is the first of four planned in the Indianapolis area, with additional stores in Indianapolis City, Fishers and in the southern metro area. “Our expansion is great news not only for the jobs we’re creating in Indiana, but the jobs we’re creating right here in Ohio,” Spikol said.

“It all began in Dayton, and we are very proud of our roots,” says Randy Oberer, president of Oberer’s Flowers. In recent years the company has expanded into Cincinnati, West Chester, Grove City and Columbus, Ohio. “We’ve managed to grow well above the industry standards because we operate much differently than a typical flower shop.” He says "We’ve always been focused on providing the best value for our customers money." “People really notice that when times are tough.”

The company grows some flowers from their greenhouses located on Troy Street much the same way Oberer’s Great Uncle Carl did back in 1922. But over the years the volume ballooned to far greater than capacity. Today Oberer’s purchases flowers from local domestic farms as well as international flower markets. Refrigerated tractor trailers can be seen unloading goods 4 days a week, and the company receives two trailers of plants from Florida each week.

“Thriving in a recession is no more a challenge than staying in business for 100 years,” says Oberer. "The way we’ve done it, is the way our company was started." He continues; "Taking care of each customer, like they’re our most important, because they are.”

Oberer’s Flowers Inc. is the 5th largest independent florist in the United States. The company has been providing customers with fresh flowers and the finest selection of plants, fruit and gourmet foods, perfect for every occasion for nearly 100 years. Historic information can be found at www.oberers.com/history.html

Oberer’s Flowers has two subsidiary companies and five operating divisions including a Central Production Facility, Retail Stores, Greenhouse & Growing Operation, Wholesale Floral and two Import Divisions (one for fresh international product and another for international hard goods). Oberer’s Flowers has grown from a single horse and wagon to a fleet of over 70 delivery vehicles.

Oberer’s Flowers corporate headquarters; a 100,000 sq. ft facility located on a six acre complex right where it all began on Troy Street in Dayton, Ohio. The company has multiple retail stores and delivery operations spanning three states in the MidWest serving customers in Cincinnati, Columbus and Dayton in Ohio; Indianapolis, Indiana and Northern Kentucky.

Oberer’s also operates support facilities in Miami, Florida; Quito, Ecuador and has an office in Shen Yang, China located in the Heping District.

Each day Oberer’s handles more than 500 orders direct from customers for delivery within the companies delivery area. The company has grown to become one of the nations largest Wedding and Event decorators handling more than 1,000 wedding per year ranging from $100 to $50,000. Orders are generated in their retail stores, by telephone or online at www.oberers.com.

Chicago Interactive Agency Continues Its Rapid Growth with the Addition of 2 New Clients and 2 New Website Launches

Envisionit Media continues expansion and innovation in interactive marketing with the addition of two national clients and the launch of two new websites for long-term agency clients.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) August 29, 2010

Chicago interactive agency envisionit media, inc. is adding new clients to its family as its overall business and capabilities grow.

Having just secured a spot on Inc. Magazine’s 2010 Inc. 5000, a list of the fastest-growing, privately owned companies in the nation, the interactive marketing firm has announced new partnerships with Chicago tradition Home Run Inn pizza and NTN Bearing Corporation, one of the largest bearing producers in the world.

“These are both very well-established businesses,” said CEO Todd Brook. “We’re thrilled to be working with two companies that have such rich histories behind them.”

For Home Run Inn, a family-owned Chicago institution that has created all-natural pizza for more than 60 years, envisionit media is leveraging online marketing channels to promote the brand’s eight Chicago-area restaurants and their branded frozen pizzas, which are currently available in more than twenty states. "We have been extremely impressed with envisionit media. They not only are creative, but they strive to build a true partnership with their clients," says Gina Bolger, Director of Marketing at Home Run Inn.

Joe Kahn, Manager of Market Development for NTN Bearing Corporation of America, shares Bolger’s enthusiasm about envisionit media’s work. “When we decided to proceed with overhauling our aging website, we had an idea of what we wanted, but had no idea of how to get there,” said Kahn. “After meeting with several creative agencies, there was no doubt in our minds who the stand-out choice was. envisionit media just seemed to 'get it.'”

NTN Bearing Corporation has been a leading supplier of automotive and industrial bearings for almost 100 years and has ten plants and several warehouses across the country. Scheduled to launch this fall, NTN’s new online presence will streamline the company’s sales process and give customers faster, easier ways to find the bearing products they need. Kahn says of the experience, “From the very first meeting, they understood what we were after, and their clear process for building the website made it easy for us to communicate precisely what we wanted.”

envisionit media also continues to grow relationships with long-time partners such as national restaurant group Lettuce Entertain You and local favorite Carol’s Cookies.

In mid-August, envisionit media launched a new website for Reel Club, a Lettuce Entertain You restaurant in Oakbrook, Illinois. The envisionit team designed the website to reflect the restaurant’s casual elegance and contemporary take on classic seafood dishes by Chef Mychael Bonner. On the usability end, the team created a simple functionality for online reservations, easy carryout ordering, and access to upcoming events at the restaurant.

“We’ve been really excited about the work envisionit media has done. They’ve essentially created an online extension of dining at Reel Club,“ said Jennifer Bell, Director of Website Marketing & Corporate Public Relations for Lettuce Entertain You. “It’s not just another restaurant website—it’s an experience.”

As a strategic partner with Carol’s Cookies, envisionit recently revamped the company’s website to focus on Carol Goldman’s story and the craftsmanship that goes into her handmade, half-pound cookies. “We have received nothing but compliments on our site,” said owner Jeff Goldman. “More importantly, we’re retaining customers better in this economic downturn. We’re looking forward to continued growth with envisionit at the helm.”

Brook only hopes to further develop envisionit’s roster of distinguished clients as the company grows—in both staff and space. The agency will expand its River North office space in the fall as it continues to add additional talent to the team.

“It’s a very exciting time for us and for our clients,” Brook said. “We’re looking to continue pushing the envelope and find more innovative ways to use the interactive space—both for our clients and for ourselves.”

Leading automotive website instantly connects car dealers with buyers using chat.

Alpharetta, GA (Vocus) August 27, 2010

Contact At Once!, a leading provider of live chat software for car dealerships, today announced that Cars.com has extended their license of the ContactAtOnce! live chat software including a mobile chat application. ContactAtOnce! has been powering the chat service available to all franchise and independent dealers advertising on Cars.com since January 2009. The new mobile chat application will make it possible for dealers to answer chat leads from “smart phone” mobile devices, helping to convert more prospects into sales.

“Mobile chat allows salespeople to be more responsive to shoppers' inquiries, even if they've stepped away from their desk," said Michael Page, Cars.com vice president of advertising products. "Dealers can respond at shoppers' convenience, giving them the information they need to take the next step toward a purchase. With the popularity of smartphones in the store, dealers can use this capability to enhance their customer service and sell more cars."

Data collected by Cars.com has shown that online car shoppers are more likely to contact a car dealership from advertisements that include presence-aware chat. As well, in its 2009 Dealer Chat Consumer Survey, Cars.com found that 67% of online shoppers who initiated a chat conversation with a dealer planned to purchase a vehicle within 30 days.

“Dealers appreciate the benefits of live chat because it magnifies the value they receive from their advertising dollars,” said John Hanger, CEO of Contact At Once!. “Consumers like live chat too because it is a convenient and immediate means of contacting a dealership to ask questions and set appointments. Cars.com was quick to appreciate these dynamics and we’re honored that they’ve chosen to extend and expand our partnership.”

Cars.com dealers interested in adding live chat software to their listings or taking advantage of the new mobile chat application should contact their Cars.com sales representative.

While Optimism for the Overall Economy has Declined, Survey Indicates a Slight Rise in Consumers' Intentions to Spend

Empathica Consumer Insights survey reveals that while Americans feel less confident about the economy than they did in the First Quarter of 2010, more are reporting an increase in spending.

Alpharetta, GA (PRWEB) August 27, 2010

Empathica Inc., a leading provider of Customer Experience Management (CEM) solutions to some of the world’s most respected brands, announced that its Second Quarter survey of more than 11,000 American consumers reveals that the majority are spending more in today’s economy.

Last quarter 67.2% of American respondents cited they were moderately to significantly cutting their spending, yet in Q2; this number fell slightly to 61%. Q2 also saw an increase in respondents indicating they were spending more (6.8%), compared to 4.8% in Q1.

Men appear to be slightly more optimistic than women, with 50.6% of men reporting that they expect their financial situation to be somewhat better in the next six months, while only 48.2% of women feel this way. Similarly 53.1% of women say they are finding more financial difficulty compared to six months ago as opposed to only 45.4% of men.

Optimism is clearly a state of age, not just mind. Belief in ones financial situation improving in the next six months decreases steadily for those who have been in the working market longer. From 30's onwards, it declines steadily with age.

Of those surveyed, 42% claim they are optimistic about the economy, down from 48% reported last quarter. Those who cited they were pessimistic jumped four percentage points, with 32.8% in First Quarter 2010 moving to 36.8% in Second Quarter 2010.

It should be noted that despite widespread pessimism for the “overall” economy, slight movement is detected in more consumers feeling better about their individual situations. In the next six months, 31.2% of consumers feel their financial situation will be somewhat better, as compared to 29.3% who cited that in Q1.

“The dichotomy of increased pessimism along with some increased spending perhaps can be attributed to the fact that individuals feel they are generally better off than their peers,” said Gary Edwards, EVP of Client Services at Empathica. In fact, according to the Bureau of Labor Statisticsreport, the unemployment rate declined in June and remained static at 9.5% in July. Private-sector payroll employment, in particular, increased by 71,000 in July.

“Many people are realizing they have sacrificed long enough and are now in a position – or have a desire – to spend money on more discretionary items like hardware purchases or travel,” continued Edwards. “Yet it’s perceived that the overall economy still has a long way to go, to get back to where we were. In general, it appears that consumers are becoming more sophisticated in their response to the economic downturn. They may be spending more, but they’re doing more bargain shopping. It’s a more thrifty spend.”

Coupon redemption, for instance, continues to drive consumer behavior. In Empathica’s Second Quarter Consumer Insights survey, one in four consumers indicated they are seeking coupons online more often than ever before.

“Consumers still seek value in their purchases, and brands must accommodate this demand,” added Edwards. “And when you’re in a situation where consumers are in the mindset to spend, offering them extra value will be the opportunity to move from best current deal to actually boosting their brand loyalty. It eventually comes full circle. The more satisfied consumers are with their in-store and overall brand experiences, the more they will spend. Since consumer spending strengthens the economy, this can translate into more jobs and retail profits.”

Richard Hastings, Macro and Consumer Strategist with Global Hunter Securities, LLC pointed to some potential reasoning behind the findings.

“Consumers are spending but the pattern of spending is generally more erratic than in the past, some of it the result of spending priorities, and some of it directly and indirectly influenced by social networking and tech,” said Hastings. “One of the biggest challenges for retailers, brands and advertisers comes from this constant change in spending priorities. During certain months, certain age tiers will focus on clothing, then switch their priorities over to tech, and then back to clothing. For others, the swapping into and out of product channels creates challenges.

“The dollars might not be what they were four years ago, but the bigger issue is figuring out how to create more consistent spending patterns on a more profitable basis,” Hastings added. “It looks like the consumer is figuring out how to use technology to step ahead of the trouble and spend in a new way.”

Cleveland Business Partners Achieve Exceptional Growth Together

Thanks to a unique relationship, two Cleveland business partners have helped each other achieve exceptional growth over the past several years. Recently, both of those companies – Fathom SEO and Post-Up Stand – were named to the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing companies.

Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) August 27, 2010

Every year, Inc. magazine honors the 5,000 fastest-growing companies in the country. This year, the magazine recognized two Cleveland businesses – Post-Up Stand (number 891 on the list) and Fathom SEO (number 1,387) – that share a special relationship.

In August 2005, Fathom began handling Post-Up Stand’s search engine marketing efforts. Since that time, both companies have grown as Fathom has started taking on more online marketing responsibilities, including:

• Search engine optimization, opt-in e-mail marketing, pay-per-click advertising and Internet video production. Fathom has also helped the trade show display company optimize its social media channels and conversion forms.
• New product offerings. In 2009, Post-Up Stand introduced Wallzaz.com, a custom wall decal product. Fathom helped Post-Up Stand create and update the new Wallzaz website and even produced Post-Up Stand’s first national television commercial.
• E-commerce conversion focus. Post-Up Stand has seen its ROI increase as Fathom has worked to convert visitors into sales and measure those results.

At the beginning of 2007, Post-Up Stand’s website was seeing about 4,900 visitors per month. By July 2010, the company was enjoying over 31,000 Web visitors per month, a 630 percent increase in website traffic. During that time, the firm also expanded from just a couple employees to over 30, outgrowing its first office location.

“As our Web presence has grown, so has our bottom line,” said Alon Weiner, vice president at Post-Up Stand. “Fathom has done a great job finding creative ways to not only boost our search rankings, but also convert quality website traffic into repeat customers.”

“All of our clients are our partners,” said Scot Lowry, president and CEO of Fathom SEO. “We couldn’t be happier for clients like Post-Up Stand who have been growing with us since day 1.”

In addition to its partnership with Post-Up Stand, Fathom SEO has also partnered with many other growing companies in the Cleveland area. For example, SecureState, a more recent addition to the Fathom SEO team, achieved number 550 on the Inc. 5000 list. The security consulting firm became a Fathom client at the beginning of 2010, and is already seeing results from its search engine optimization campaign.

About Post-Up Stand
Based in Maple Heights, Ohio, Post-Up Stand creates displays, banner stands and posters for trade show displays. Recently, Post-Up Stand also introduced Wallzaz removable wall decals.

Husband and Wife Create Dueling Top 10 Lists to Sell Home

In light of the latest real estate statistics, Fort Myers home sellers Paul and Tina Haisman created dueling Top 10 Lists of features to sell their home.

Fort Myers, FL (PRWEB) August 27, 2010

This week the Florida Association of Realtors announced sales of single-family homes in Florida dropped sharply in July. Simultaneously, the National Association of Realtors announced sales of existing homes plunged to the lowest level in 15 years last month across the nation.

What is a seller to do?

Fort Myers, Fla. sellers Paul and Tina Haisman, who are selling their home due to a job relocation, decided to get creative.

"It's frustrating and stressful to be sitting and waiting for your home to sell so you can move on with your life," Tina Haisman said. "We've watched our realtor try all of the usual tactics, but none of them has brought in a buyer."

The Haismans wanted to do something different with their listing that would capture the attention of people sifting through hundreds of listings in their price range.

"We decided to do a top 10 list of the things we love most about our home, but when we wrote them up, we realized they were vastly different," Haisman said. "That actually made sense to us, because generally women and men look for different things when they are buying a home. So, we went with it!"

The newly created description of the home was a hit in the Fort Myers area. Agents commented on its creativity and asked if they could use the idea, as well.

"I'm not thrilled that people are copying the idea, because I want my listing to be different, but I know that must mean it was a good one," Tina Haisman said.

Without further delay, here are the Dueling Haisman Top 10 Lists.

The Husband’s Top 10 List of Reasons to Buy 11471 Persimmon Court
1.     Brand New Multi-Color Tiled Roof 2010!
2.     Lightweight Corrugated Hurricane Panels (Google storm stoppers)
3.     Cable wired in all rooms
4.     Wood-burning Fireplace
5.     LifeShield wireless home security ready
6.     Boston Red Sox Stadium Coming Soon!
7.     Heat Exchange Unit (air conditioning heats hot water)
8.     Heat Pump Pool Heater
9.     Newly Resurfaced Pool
10. Newly Rescreened Lanai

The Wife’s Top 10 List of Reasons to Buy 11471 Persimmon Court
1.     Beautifully Landscaped Pie-shaped Yard
2.     Split Floor Plan
3.     Large Kitchen opens up into Family Room

Interim Marketers Help Companies Keep Up in a Down Economy

Highly skilled contingent workers fill critical gaps

Chicago (PRWEB) August 27, 2010

Today's marketing organizations' biggest challenge is struggling to increase revenues and market share as well as build customer loyalty with fewer marketing resources. Partnerships formed with interim staffing firms can successfully help marketing departments change the way they support their marketing efforts without having to abandon key marketing activities

"The days of traditional staffing and robust corporate headcount are over," said Marcia Pellicone, president of Marketing Resources Solutions (www.mrsstaff.com). "Interim marketers provide a strategic way for companies to control labor costs, maintain productivity and meet deadlines."

Working with a marketing staffing agency provides:

•     A cost-effective solution. Interim staffing allows companies to increase their talent pool without creating employer-related liabilities, and with no impact on SG&A. It allows a company to adjust its labor force to meet the challenges created by recent economic developments, changing from a fixed cost of a full-time employee to a variable cost of a contingent worker.
•     An easy way to land top performers. With unemployment at a high, experienced marketers are looking to alternative employment solutions like interim staffing positions. These marketers have the experience to hit the ground running, solve the company's immediate problem, and then move on to tackle another challenge elsewhere.
•     A unique solution for hiring experienced professionals for time-sensitive projects. A major issue with most marketing departments is that there are often fluctuations or surges in workload. For instance, if there is a new product launch a company might only need extra help for a certain amount of time. They don't necessarily need to hire on a new full-time employee. When the effort ends, so does the interim professional's assignment. The company doesn't have to worry about finding a new assignment or eliminating a position; they get the brainpower they need without creating overhead they don't want.
•     A quick way to fill gaps in the workforce. Even if a person is gone for an extended period of time, it doesn't mean the work goes away. Working with an interim staffing firm can help companies quickly fill temporary gaps left by maternity leaves, vacations, and reorganizations. Contingent workers have the skill set to help mitigate the need to assign more work to already- overworked employees, helping to better manage employee burnout.

Marketing Resources Solutions Inc. is a professional service agency specializing in marketing staffing and solutions.
