"It's often thought that retirement jobs are hard to find. But the fact is, employers are hiring tens of thousands of workers for temporary jobs and project assignments, and the number is growing," Koff said. "Since they usally don't have to pay company benefits, these kinds of hires are cost-effective. And they know they're getting a proven workforce. These are older workers and retirees who bring great experience, tremendous intellectual capital and unquestionable integrity."

As this job trend continues to grow in 2010, it will be increasingly important for employers and older workers to quickly and efficiently find one another. That's why Art Koff's www.RetiredBrains.com can play an important role as a nationwide "employment hub" that matches employers with seniors seeking jobs--many after they "retire."
"In addition to the thousands of jobs included on the site itself, we link to sites which include tens of thousands of additional job opportunities," Art Koff said. "There are government jobs, jobs with the census bureau, seasonal jobs, jobs in the Peace Corps, volunteering jobs. Almost any kind of temporary or part-time job or project assignment for older Americans interested in working is available through RetiredBrains.com. Of course we have thousands of full-time jobs listed as well."
Employers regularly search the site's data base for seniors and retirees whose experience and skills match their openings. In addition to full-time jobs, employers also post temporary jobs and project assignments - even companies with hiring freezes frequently add temporary workers of project assignments as these jobs don't add to FTE (full-time employee) numbers and usually come from a different budget..
In addition to job postings from companies across the United States, the site gives boomers, seniors and retirees valuable job-search and interview help, as well as information on starting a business, continuing their educational endeavors and exploring a variety of other areas of interest. Boomers, older workers and retirees use www.RetiredBrains.com at no cost to search for a job, post their resumes or gather information.
"We offer job seekers tips on how to find jobs, get interviewed and handle their interviews in a way most likely to get them hired," Art Koff said. "Thousands of retirees and seniors also come to our site to get information on starting their own business. They may be retired, but they're still motivated and enjoy the challenges and rewards that employment and ownership provide."
Art Koff projects the number of seniors and retirees who visit the site will continue to increase by double-digit percentages as more visitors return to find information on a variety of senior topics, including:
