                                                                      MONDAY MARKS LAUNCH OF REVOLUTIONARY EMPLOYMENT WEBSITE

For the past hundred years or so, the words resume and job hunting went hand in hand. Not so anymore. A new nationwide employment website hits the internet Monday with the potential to turn the employment industry upside down – SkillSniper.com.  Instead of focusing on resumes, SkillSniper.com targets individual skills. Users enter specific skills to create a skill profile.  Prospective employers search by skills to find a true fit for the position they need to fill. 

“Job hunters are no longer locked into a title or job description,” says Gary Hicks, owner and creator of SkillSniper.com.  “All you have to do is enter your skill set and thousands of employers will be able to search for and locate you quickly.” 

From an employer standpoint, SkillSniper.com offers some revolutionary thinking as well.  Namely, employers can search for free. Typically, job sites charge hundreds of dollars for employers to search for resumes. With SkillSniper.com, employers can log on, list the skill set  they need, and search for free. Only when they find a good fit do they have to pay a nominal fee.  “It just made so much more sense,” Hicks said.  “Now businesses have a reliable place where they can start their candidate search, before spending lots of time and money.  It’s a great solution for both employers and employees.”
