Other job sites don charge me a membership fee to apply for jobs, why does HotGigs?
Because HotGigs is a Staffing Exchange and not a job board, the value proposition and business model are different. On job boards, employers pay to post jobs and to search for any full-time candidates who might potentially become employees. As a result they do not charge those applicants. HotGigs is a marketplace designed exclusively for free agents, consultants and staffing firms who are marketing their talent, expertise and business services to potential clients. On the HotGigs Staffing Exchange, Premium member firms pay for access to contract opportunities from hiring companies, and to gain access to the consultants and contractors on our network. Premium consultants pay to market their expertise and gain access to contract opportunities with companies and firms in the marketplace.
