The HIRE (Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment) Act was signed on March 18th and went into effect last month. It features two incentives for employers who hire and retain new employees. The act was put into place to attempt to accelerate the hiring of unemployed workers. Without an increase in the economy, businesses have been reluctant to hire new employees due to the cost imposed on them. The below incentives should serve beneficial for this new employment opportunities within the US.

IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman believes that “these tax breaks offer a much-needed boost to employers willing to expand their payrolls, and businesses and nonprofits should keep these benefits in mind as they plan for the year ahead”.

Incentive #1: As of February 3, 2010, if an employer hires someone who has been unemployed the previous 3 months for a new position then the employer does not have to pay the employer portion of social security on that person’s wages.

Incentive #2: Employers will receive a $1,000 income tax credit for every newly hired employee as of February 3, 2010, who is not a replacement for a previous employee and who is employed continuously thereafter for 52 weeks (1 year).

Your company’s situation may be such that you are not in a position to hire at this time. This should, however, not deter you from hiring summer temporary workers. There are several important aspects to consider that would help your company over the summer months.

1. Permanent Employees go on vacation leaving work that needs to get done.

2. Hiring Students will Invigorate Your Organization.

3. Temp hires enhance the bottom line.

Do Not Pay Money to Apply for any Job on HireFinders

May 11th, 2010

This is a free job board, it is free to post jobs and free to apply to jobs. It has come to our attention that some employers on the site are taking advantage of our ability to get our jobs on search engines like Indeed and Simply Hired.

If a job posted on this site asks you for money to apply whether it is $14 or $400, do not pay anything and do not apply to the job. These are scams. I would love it if you bring these employers to our attention. We approve each one of our accounts, but sometimes scammers slip through. Please email either Audrey@hirefinders.com or info@hirefinders.com if you apply for a job that then asks you for money. Thanks.

May 7th, 2010

We have gotten great feedback regarding HireFinders and from time to time we will publish these amazing responses to our job board. Adam Goldstein, the Executive Vice President of AlignSource, www.alignsource.com had this to say:

“Utilizing HireFinders services; in one month our firm was able to place a Top Level Financial Executive with a large Home Health Organization as well as a Clinical Liaison with a Regional Nursing Home Company. The candidate quality was very high with Placement fees totaling around $50,000! We are a firm that engages in direct sourcing as our primary method of Executive Search and had never found any of the Job Boards to have much of any value for our search assignments. HireFinders was a pleasant surprise. We have found the site very easy to navigate, and job postings go in and up in a flash. We will definitely be using HireFinders in the future as an ancillary source of quality candidates.”
