"This is a business born directly from the economic crisis we are facing. The 'underemployed' need side work and entrepreneurs need business leads,” said Doug Macklem, founder and CEO of GigAlert.com. "Our website is user-friendly, has technological conveniences, and protects privacy."
GigAlert.com also offers full and part-time job ad placements which will be included in the Indeed.com job search engine. With millions of job seekers and hundreds of millions of job searches per month, Indeed is the leading search engine for jobs, reaching 15 million viewers a month. GigAlert.com charges only $29 for a business to post a job ad for 30 days, while typical pricing for other outlets range from $99 for 7 days to $300 to $500 for 30 days. There are no ads and requirements for prepaid postings.
"This is a personal story for us," said Macklem. “In changing career paths I was looking for new business leads, or even side work, to help supplement my income. After searching for a job board that met my needs I came up empty, so I decided to solve the problem by creating a website to help people looking for work, find work, and to help businesses find new customers."
