Assured Labor Inc. Launches Online Marketplace to Put Americans Back to Work

BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - January 14, 2009) - Assured Labor Inc. (www.AssuredLabor.com), a web and mobile based marketplace for services, announced today the launch of its platform to put Americans back to work by providing access to flexible job opportunities. The service enables both professionals and non-professionals to find more work by creating a forum for them to post their skills and gain access to income earning opportunities. Following today's launch in Boston, Assured Labor plans to roll out its program to metropolitan areas across the country.

Assured Labor creates jobs by instantly connecting urban professionals (employers) with affordable and trustworthy service providers in their area, compelling them to hire others for tasks they don't know how to do themselves or don't have time to do themselves. The company, created by recent graduates from MIT Sloan and Harvard, focuses on short-term engagements, including: house cleaning, moving, dog walking, errands, household repair, computer repair, tutoring, party planning, personal assistants, and more.

Assured Labor's service providers are lower-priced because they often come from less traditional labor pools including: college students, stay-at-home moms, and individuals who are not consistently connected to the internet. The company leverages references, ratings and ties to social networks to instill trust in its service providers. It also notifies service providers of job opportunities through text-message or email so that they can respond immediately -- to get jobs done right away.

"With the unemployment rate soaring to 7.2 percent we're thrilled to offer a service that will enable people to earn extra income while helping employers to save money and be more productive," said David Reich, President and Co-Founder of Assured Labor. "Assured Labor takes the work out of hiring by only presenting reasonably priced service providers referenced by other individuals in their local community."

Assured Labor's proprietary system is highly differentiated as it is trustworthy, affordable, and immediate. The online marketplace also allows both parties to rate each other after each job is done -- providing workers an opportunity to be recognized for good work and assuring employers that they are hiring the right person for their jobs.
