The current Minneapolis/St Paul Business Journal has this story HotGigs gets $5.3M to expand. That’s a tidy sum for the Chanhassen (Minneapolis suburb) company.
The company has a great group of leaders:
Updata also was impressed by HotGigs' expertise. Besides Berg, HotGigs has attracted Ken Holec as chairman; Holec, a former CEO of Lawson Software Inc. of St. Paul and Rochester-based ShowCase Corp., also was a CEO at North Carolina-based PeopleClick, which developed human-capital management software. The company also recently hired Mark Halverson, a veteran of Born Inc., as vice president of sales.
There have been many comparisons, as this article does, between HotGigs and Techies.com:
But 2006 isn't the 1990s, and HotGigs is pursuing a different model than Techies, or big job sites like Monster.com It's not a job site, but a way for employers to automate and organize their search for contract or temporary workers in a variety of industries, not just tech.
Personally I find the HotGigs story more viable.
