HireMeNow.com and Capital One Announce Partnership to Allow Small Business Owners to Pay for Temporary Wages by Credit Card
Small Business Owners Earn No-Hassle Rewards Where They Didn't Before

Lantana, FL − May 29, 2008. HireMeNow.com, LLC, an online temporary and contract employment marketplace, and Capital One Financial Corporation (NYSE:COF), today announced a partnership creating opportunities for small business owners to apply for a small business credit card, then earn credit card rewards on common transactions that they couldn't before − paying temporary, contract and temporary-to-permanent workers.

Traditionally, companies seeking temporary help were required to pay for temporary work through an antiquated invoice system. By allowing small business owners to use credit cards as a payment option, small business owners can reap the benefits offered by small business rewards credit cards.

At HireMeNow.com, companies seeking temporary help connect directly with workers seeking temporary or contract assignments. Unlike typical job boards, HireMeNow.com fulfills the traditional role of an employment agency, keeping the temporary workers on its payroll, and handling all taxes and insurance. Clients do not have to pay to post jobs; they only pay for hours actually worked by the candidates they find on HireMeNow.com.

Through the partnership with Capital One Small Business, small business owners can now apply for a credit card from Capital One's suite of small business rewards credit card products at HireMeNow.com, then earn rewards on their temporary wage transactions. Capital One's portfolio of cards includes the Preferred No Hassle Miles, Double No Hassle Miles, No Hassle Cash and the Business Platinum card. Each one of these products gives a range of options tailored for every type of small business owner.

"This ground-breaking process adds tremendous value to all parties involved," stated Phillip Thune, chief executive officer of HireMeNow.com. "By using the efficiencies of the Internet and effective cash management, HireMeNow.com is able to pass on cost savings in the form of lower mark-ups on temp wages versus those of a traditional staffing firm. The markup to our clients is completely transparent − 42% of the temps' wages."

"We felt that we could add even more value for our clients by giving them access to Capital One's small business rewards credit card portfolio through our site," added Thune. "HireMeNow.com essentially is opening up the $70 billion per year temporary staffing industry to credit card payments."

"This offers an easy way for small business owners to make their credit card work harder for them," said Steve Schooff of Capital One Small Business. "Many small business owners have temporary staffing needs, and this offers a no-hassle opportunity to earn rewards where they couldn't earn them before - on transactions they're already conducting. They can then either put the rewards back into their business or use them to reward themselves."
