Hour.ly, a New York City startup that matches temporary job seekers and freelancers with prospective gigs and employers online, unveiled two new features and partnerships on Tuesday with Trufina and Tinychat. Co-founded by Brooke and Lynn Dixon (Left to right, in image below), Hour.ly has been in pre-revenue, beta mode since September 2010. The bootstrapped company's newest site features should have it generating and sharing revenue in the second quarter of 2011. Through its partnership with Trufina, Hour.ly will allow temporary job seekers to pay for and run their own identity and criminal background checks, so that employers won't have to, and so that hiring decisions won't be delayed. Hour.ly will also enable employers to conduct an in-browser video chat interview with job seekers ? through its partnership with Tinychat ? rather than requiring them to download and use a service like Skype or Jabber.
