LatPro.com Wins Second Consecutive Weddle's User's Choice Award; Recognized Among Top 30 Employment Web Sites

After almost 50,000 votes were cast, LatPro and other niche job boards emerged as user favorites, claiming a majority of the top spots.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FT. LAUDERDALE, FL – February 27, 2007 – LatPro.com, the premier job board for Hispanic and bilingual professionals , today announced it is among the thirty employment Web sites to receive the Weddle's User's Choice Award for 2007. Winning recognition for the second year in a row, LatPro cemented its status as one of the online employment industry's elite.

The Weddle's award is determined by job board performance experts – the employers, recruiters and job seekers who actually use employment sites. Creator Peter Weddle, a leading authority on Internet hiring and recruiting, started the award 4 years ago to provide an up-to-date and accessible guide to the job boards that are currently delivering the best results.

“The fact that LatPro is on Weddle's list for the second straight year reaffirms the long-term value we consistently provide for our users,” said LatPro founder and President Eric Shannon. “Our Web site has built a reputation as the best online employment site for bilingual professionals, and we are continually working to improve the service, value and dependability that gained this recognition.”

The results of the nearly 50,000 votes in this year's poll also reinforced a growing industry trend: users feel that niche job boards provide the most value among employment Web sites. Sixty percent of this year's Weddle's winners are niche boards, although LatPro was one of only eleven niche sites to receive repeat honors. “The power of the niche job board is increasingly clear to organizations and job seekers,” said Shannon . “Time and again they deliver faster, better results.”
