GettingHired,LLC, an organization focusing on careers and community for people

with disabilities, announced today that it has secured $3 million of additional

investment capital to fund continued growth of the largest disability employment

portal in the USA as well as final development and launch of FastTrackRTW, an

innovative new return to work initiative supporting the long term disability and

workers' compensation insurance verticals. The investments were made by Zenith

Insurance Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zenith National Insurance Corp,

Kamine Development Corp and Fisher Capital Corp. LLC.

" We are excited about this innovative approach to managing the return to work

challenge, and look forward to using the FastTrackRTW product as a unique

resource in helping our injured workers find productive work, " said Stanley Zax,

Chairman and President of Zenith.

FastTrackRTW incorporates many of the features of the existing GettingHired.com

employment and social networking portal and adds a robust injured worker and

caseworker platform, as well as a specialized enhancement to GettingHired.com's

RightMatch technology.

Jim Fisher, Managing Member of Fisher Capital, added that he believes that the

" FastTrackRTW program will be able to leverage the success of the

GettingHired.com platform, which has already seen explosive growth in its first

year of connecting people with disabilities to employers committed to hiring

people with disabilities, and will be a significant aid in helping more people

return to a productive work life after experiencing an injury or illness within

the LTD and Workers' Compensation arenas. "

GettingHired, LLC CEO Tom Capato said he was " excited by the opportunity and

felt privileged to be in a position to support continued progress toward the

goal of creating employment opportunities for people with disabilities. "
