Yahoo! HotJobs lends a helping hand to the jobseekers of today and tomorrow

Online recruitment site launches signing bonus promotion, charitable donation and free job-postings for eligible non-profit organisations.

Yahoo! HotJobs, a leader in online recruitment, is renewing its commitment to help job seekers find work in the New Year. Through various promotions, donations and continued web site enhancements, Yahoo! HotJobs will help job seekers move closer to their employment goals while simultaneously aiding organizations dedicated to providing training for tomorrow’s workers.

Start the New Year with a Signing Bonus

While a signing bonus for a new employee may seem a thing of the past in today’s employment environment, Yahoo! HotJobs is helping job seekers by giving them a chance to win $20,000 signing bonuses. Job seekers who register for the sweepstakes and then post or update their resumes on HotJobs.com through March 1, 2004 will be eligible to win.
Yahoo! HotJobs Supports Junior Achievement Inc.

Yahoo! HotJobs is supporting future job seekers with a $100,000 donation to Junior Achievement Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to teaching youth about business, free enterprise and the economics of life. The organization sends volunteers from the business community into classrooms across the United States to deliver its programs. The funds from Yahoo! HotJobs will be used for a variety of job skills and training initiatives for youth. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2004, the company is granting up to 10 free online job postings for any eligible non-profit organization.

We understand the time and energy it takes to get a job in today’s competitive environment and the importance of finding a new job in the New Year for many job seekers, stated Dan Finnigan, executive vice president and general manager of Yahoo! HotJobs. We strive everyday to connect job seekers with available job opportunities, and we’re excited to give some of them an extra boost to help jump start their employment search. At the same time, the donation to Junior Achievement and free online job postings for eligible non-profit organizations allows Yahoo! HotJobs to give something back to those who give to Americans every day.
