HIRESTRATEGY ANNOUNCES MAJOR EXPANSION

Reston, VA, June 3, 2003

HireStrategy, a professional staffing firm, on Tuesday announced a major expansion of its service offerings in the greater Washington area with the formal launch of two new divisions.

"Our Accounting Contract and Technology Consulting practices have been operating 'under the radar' for several months," according to HireStrategy President & CEO Paul Villella. "Today we are formally launching both practices as fully-staffed, fully-supported divisions."

With 55 employees, privately held HireStrategy has become a regional leader in professional staffing by assembling a world-class team of leaders from the accounting, technology, recruiting and human resources industries. The company has doubled in size in the past year and maintained its profitability for six consecutive quarters, despite the slowdown in the regional economy and a difficult job market.

Founded in 2000, HireStrategy has been known primarily for permanent placement search work in the functional areas of technology, sales, and finance & accounting. "In the past year, we have developed a particular expertise in helping employers hire contract and temporary employees in the specialized skill areas of accounting and technology; this is in addition to the permanent search work we are well established in" according to Villella. "This is a natural evolution of our business model and one that we planned from the outset."

Chris Owen, a co-founder of HireStrategy, has executive management for the new Accounting Contract Division, while Marti Morris has been appointed Director, Accounting Contracting.

"Employers in the Washington area are relying increasingly on temporary or contract employees to fill their finance and accounting needs," according to Owen. "We are putting increased resources into helping employers find flexible solutions to their staffing needs."

Hector Velez, a co-founder of HireStrategy, has executive management responsibility for the new Technology Consulting Division. Phil Wisner has been appointed Director of Technology Consulting.

"Companies are being cautious in their technology hiring plans these days," according to Velez. "Even with the prospect of a gradual recovery in the industry, many employers are looking at working with consultants in addition to bringing on full-time employees. We are well positioned to help."

HireStrategy is a full-service professional staffing firm providing contract and permanent placement solutions for companies and career management for individuals in the specialty skill areas of technology, sales, and finance and accounting.
