NEW YORK (July 9, 2008) - Penton Media's Windows IT Pro® and SQL Server Magazine® today announced the launch of a new online job board - IT Job Hound at www.itjobhound.com. The site allows information technology job seekers to connect with IT employers through an online career center.

Job seekers can view the most recent job postings from top IT companies at no charge, with the option of sharing their name and contact information with an employer through the site's "Anonymous Resume" feature. This free feature allows job seekers to list their experience and qualifications in a protected environment, providing them with full control over their confidential information.

"We are very excited to add IT Job Hound to our family of Web sites. By leveraging our large online community, we are providing IT professionals a chance to find a company that fits their needs and lifestyle, while offering employers access to one of the most qualified candidate pool in the industry," said Jeff Lewis, publisher of Penton's Windows IT Pro group.

IT Job Hound offers companies the ability to target and recruit top IT professionals. Employers have a variety of options to select from when posting job openings. Employers can post jobs for 60 days, with the opportunity to purchase preferred upgrades to enhance their listing, or they can purchase job packs allowing them to post multiple jobs.
