OperationIT Pitches In To
Offer Resources In Wake of Terrorist Disaster
NEW YORK, NY – September
17, 2001 - “The catastrophes of the World Trade Center and The Pentagon will
not easily be forgotten in our minds and hearts,” stated a recent letter sent
out to inform people of OperationIT’s offer to help those businesses and
individuals directly affected by the World Trade Center catastrophe. The letter further states,
“We at OperationIT.com have received both good and bad news
about our loved ones in the World Trade Center and wish to express our
sympathies and support to all the families and friends involved. We want to help these companies rebuild
their companies by offering our vast resources and services free. OperationIT is one of the largest IT specific
employment sites on the web. We have
over 150,000 IT members and 12,000 registered recruiters with a network of
70,000 additional IT recruiters. In addition, we have a staffing division that
handles all computer related personnel.
We would like to offer these companies free access to our staff,
resources and anything we can do to help these companies rebuild.”
Said Jim R. Ivon, CEO of OperationIT, “Our company's
thoughts, prayers and support are with those injured or lost in this most
tragic act, along with their families and our country's leaders.” Mr. Ivon

companies and IT professionals most affected.

these free services and would be glad to assist these people and companies in
their hiring needs, search for computer support personnel and anything else we
