Tenafly, NJ, January 02, 2003 - iamindependent, the industry leader in providing contingent workforce employment and 1099 compliance solutions to Fortune 2000 companies, and the number one "Most Popular" website in the Yahoo! > Human Resources > Outsourcing category, today announces the launch of a newly redesigned corporate website available at http://www.iamindependent.biz/.

New enhancements include the Internet's only free, 100% web-based 1099 compliance pre-screening tool for hiring organizations; free resume profile posting and job searching capabilities for job seekers that are interested in contract or consulting opportunities, or other flexible work arrangements; free job posting and resume searching capabilities for employers that are interested in hiring contingent workers; expanded compliance and download sections that are packed with white papers, research documents and case studies.

Sourcing contingent workers directly is going to become a core function for Fortune 2000's Services Procurement or Human Resources organizations. Key success criteria for these organizations will be to ensure that the hired contractors aren't exposing their company to easily avoidable risk and liability, and to significantly reduce costs. "In today's turbulent economic environment, companies are increasingly leveraging the variable cost associated with a flexible workforce. The smart companies are learning how to engage these workers most cost effectively, and without risk," said Michael Beygelman, President and CEO of iamindependent. Mr. Beygelman continued, "Today we are announcing the availability of tools and resources that will enable hiring organizations to identify and source contingent workers directly; eliminating risk and liability, and costly markups of traditional contract staffing agencies."
