QuietAgent.com goes Mass Market with Innovative Rapid Hiring and Selection Offering

Chicago, IL (August 25, 2009) – QuietAgent.com, the leading provider of online rapid hiring technology for job seekers and employers, today announced the appointment of seasoned tech CEO Curt J. Witte as its new Chief Executive Officer and President. Witte will be responsible for the strategic and operational leadership of the company’s global operations, and driving explosive growth of its simple-to-use Adaptive Selection™ rapid hiring tools.

Witte will be taking the QuietAgent.com technology to a massive market of employers and candidates who are just plain fed up with the problems of selection and hiring. Witte says, “The current model is totally broken in terms of high cost, long time-to-hire and poor candidate fit.  U.S. employers spent $58 billion last year with companies like Monster, CareerBuilder, LinkedIn, Facebook, Manpower, Google and Yahoo, to connect the right opportunity with the right candidate, while candidates spent hours frantically sifting through thousands of inappropriate opportunities, sending out resumes and registering on dozens of job boards and social media sites. QuietAgent.com is on a mission to constantly evolve its technology to dramatically slash cost and hiring time, while improving candidate fit – through its unique Adaptive Selection™ technology that seamlessly connects candidates and employers without all that friction.”

Witte continues, “In today’s environment of 10%+ unemployment, it is totally unacceptable that millions of jobs sit unfilled because the selection and hiring tools available are costly, slow and not designed to solve the real problem of getting people hired faster. We are very passionate about solving that inequity, and I strongly encourage everyone, employed or not, recruiters and job seekers, to come to www.quietagent.com today and register, so we can help America get back to work faster.”

Mr. Witte has a proven track record of success in software, business services and technology with over 15 years of experience, from scaling start-up ventures by over 14x, to running $10b Fortune 50 lines of business, with specific experience in strategy, marketing, sales, product management, finance and business development. He has held senior positions at leading companies including: AT&T (NYSE: T), Cardinal Health (NYSE: CAH), Lexington Financial Partners, First Investors Corp, CommSoft Partners LLC, Peopleclick and Firm58. As CEO of Peopleclick, he raised $33m of VC funding, increased revenue 2400% and increased clients from 40 to 3000. His successes at Firm58 included increasing revenue 500%, and completing an $8.5m capital raise. Mr. Witte graduated from the University of Chicago with a degree in economics and was a Rothschild Scholar at the Kellogg School at Northwestern University where he received an MBA.

Jason Kerr moves from CEO into the role of Chairman and Chief Technology Officer, focused on corporate strategy, industry evangelism, product strategy and infrastructure scaling. Kerr says that it is Witte’s “wealth of expertise in mass commercialization and scaling emerging growth companies” that provided the right fit for this, the fifth leading-edge technology company he has founded.

Kerr says, “In 2009 we are seeing triple digit growth in job seekers and clients. With Curt coming on board, I am now able to focus on ensuring we continually evolve the technology towards our goals. In the next few months we will release a ‘game-changing’ upgrade that delivers on the promise of ‘instant candidate selection’ for recruiters, and significantly increases job seekers’ interviews.”

QuietAgent.com’s leading Adaptive Selection™ hiring tools have been used since 2004 by employers, recruiters, governments and workforce and community organizations to pinpoint the best qualified and mutually interested anonymous candidates. QuietAgent.com is the power behind the recently launched United We Work initiative (www.unitedwework.org), a free, nationwide recruiting service designed to stimulate hiring in America.
