Press Release Summary = Pasadena, CA, July 16, 2007-An entrepreneur in Pasadena,
California, is doing his best to change the way people throughout the world find
jobs. Hound.com founder A. Harrison Barnes should know how the job-search industry
operates; he has spent millions of dollars advertising on sites like Monster and
CareerBuilder for his various recruiting companies over the past several years and
believes that the entire job-search market is about to change with new technology he
has been developing over the past seven months.

Press Release Body = Barnes believes a sea change is needed in the way most of the
world finds jobs. Hound.com is a job search engine that only searches employer
websites for jobs and then ranks these results according to users' likely levels of
interest. Barnes believes that virtually every other job board is composed of
"spam" jobs and wants to eliminate spam from the job-search process.

"Most jobs out there are on employer websites," said Barnes. "They are not on
Monster, CareerBuilder, or other sites. Most employers do not advertise their jobs
effectively. Moreover, most job boards are mainly composed for recruiter jobs, and
recruiters are acting as conduits for employers. Hound allows job seekers to
approach real employers and the people with the real jobs."

Hound accepts no advertising and does no advertising. The site aims to be the
"purest" job board in the world by putting the job seeker's interests first.
"I do not want any advertising right now-we're turning it away. Our site is
neutral. The only thing I care about is the users and ensuring they get the most
relevant search results. We're not even requiring registration. Lots of lives are
going to be changed by this search engine, and the only thing I want to do is stand
back and let it do its job," said Barnes.
There are no sponsored jobs or advertisers whatsoever on the site. Barnes is
currently paying more than 100 programmers to work on Hound.com and said he is
adding more and more programmers each week.
"There is simply no better way to find a position than using this site, and people
are going to realize this," said Barnes.
