THE DEVINE GROUP AND RECRUITMAX FORM ALLIANCE

Companies Join Forces To Provide Strategic Assessment Solutions
for Employee Selection and Performance Management

CINCINNATI, Ohio and JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (February 1, 2006) — Recruitmax, a global leader in technology and services for building great workforces, and The Devine Group, a leader in predictive assessment services for more than 35 years, today announced an alliance that allows each company to integrate their respective products and services, creating a more robust client offering for both companies.

Recruitmax will integrate The Devine Group’s assessment technology into its recruitment and performance management applications. The Devine Group will also make Recruitmax’s award-winning recruiting and performance management tools available to its clients. Recent studies have shown that many organizations now view candidate and employee assessment as an essential part of talent management.

“This increased interest in assessment technology is not surprising; companies are starting to realize that such technology can greatly help them supplement their talent pool with productive employees who are more likely to remain at the company longer,” commented Katherine Jones, director of the Human Capital Management Research Practice at Aberdeen Group.

“Recruitmax and the Devine Group share a passion for helping companies optimize their workforces, as well as a strong commitment to quality,” said Missy Greene, senior vice president, product strategy and development for Recruitmax. “This alliance underscores our continuing desire to meet the needs of our clients by offering the most comprehensive services and solutions available.”

Recruitmax’s strategic workforce management applications help organizations worldwide attract, hire, retain and manage their workforces more efficiently. The agreement with The Devine Group strengthens and extends Recruitmax’s assessment capabilities. Over the past 18 months, Recruitmax has enhanced its offerings through partnerships with a number of leading solutions and service providers.

“Employee retention and workforce performance are areas of focus for most companies, particularly in the face of a strengthening economy and tightening labor force. Through our alliance and integration with Recruitmax, The Devine Group is even better positioned to deliver bottom-line business results to current and future clients in the areas of both employee selection and development,” said Jack Brown, CEO of The Devine Group. The Devine Group’s impressive client list includes Marriott, Volvo, La Quinta, Argosy Hotel & Gaming, Convergys, and many others.
