LatPro.com reports first quarter growth

LatPro.com reports first quarter growth - 10% increase in the number of applications, 33,234 new job seekers, sales growth of 48% and new service agreements with AETNA, CBS, the Federal Reserve, Sun, MasterCard and the U.S. Navy among others.

Miami, April 29, 2004-- LatPro.com reported today a 10% increase in the number of job applications delivered during the first quarter of 2004 versus first quarter 2003. It also registered 33,234 new job seekers and averaged over 350,000 unique monthly visitors. First quarter sales grew 48% over 2003 and the company signed new service agreements with AETNA, CBS, the Federal Reserve, Sun, MasterCard and the U.S. Navy among others.

The company attributes much of its growth to strategic alliances with Hispanic Associations, Chambers of Commerce, and Universities. The LatPro Network now reaches 95 different organizations where LatPro powers career centers including The Association of Latino Professionals in Finance and Accounting (ALPFA), The National Society for Hispanic Professionals (NSHP), The Society of Mexican American Engineers and Scientists (MAES), The Center for the Advancement of Hispanics and Science Engineering Education (CAHSEE), and The US Mexican Chamber of Commerce among others.

Were making great progress coordinating the best Hispanic associations into a powerful, unique network, connecting more and more Hispanic professionals with new jobs," commented Eric Shannon, President of LatPro, Inc.

The latest Latino Labor Report from the Pew Hispanic Center shows Hispanics continue growing faster than any segment of the U.S. population arguing for continued strong growth at LatPro. "Jobseekers are more successful finding real opportunities when they use sites specifically meant to reach their demographic. Big boards bring a lot of opportunities, but it's a 'one size fits all mentality', emphasizing quantity rather than quality." said Eric Shannon, also a NicheBoards.com co-founder.
