SANTA CLARA, Calif. (July 20, 2009) –

LiveOps has been named “Diversity Partner of the Year” by Project HIRED, a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to assist people with disabilities to gain and sustain employment through partnerships with business and our community. LiveOps was recognized for their commitment to the community empowering job seekers with disabilities to live independent lives and be less dependent on public and community assistance.

LiveOps has been an exemplary partner to Project HIRED and over the course of the past year they have been extremely supportive giving financial support, volunteer time and donations of business equipment and technical support,” said Marie Bernard, CEO of Project HIRED. “Additionally, LiveOps is an outstanding example of a company that “walks the talk” – they have contracted with Project HIRED to utilize our clients to fill their open positions.”

Project HIRED launched the Diversity Partners Program in March of 2008 in an effort to help businesses benefit when they can hire and retain diversified and skilled talent, creating immediate and long term impacts on the local economy and positive changes in the lives of individuals and their families to create better communities. LiveOps was the first to sign up and, through LiveOps Foundation, was also the largest sponsor as well as the first to renew their commitment to this program. In addition to financial support LiveOps has

* Held a “Dress for Success” event collecting business attire for job seekers.
* Donated 23 laptops for Project HIRED to use in their new computer training program.
* Contracted with Project HIRED clients numerous times.
