Acsys, Inc. Announces Reorganization.

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 1, 1999--

Acsys, Inc. (AMEX:AYS) ("the Company"), a leading specialty professional staffing firm, today announced several management and organizational changes, including the appointment of Chairman of the Board David C. Cooper to the additional position of Chief Executive Officer. Cooper's appointment follows the resignation of CEO Timothy Mann, Jr.

Cooper led the effort to create the Company in 1997 and has served continuously as its chairman throughout its rapid growth. He began his staffing industry career almost 20 years ago in 1980 when he formed David C. Cooper & Associates, an Atlanta-based financial search and staffing firm, which ultimately became one of the largest founding companies of the Company.

"Acsys has emerged from an idea in just two years to one of the nation's largest professional staffing firms," added Cooper. "We have successfully integrated 11 companies and now operate under one unified national brand, and have consistently achieved internal growth rates at the top of the range for companies within our staffing sector. We continue to redefine our organization to meet the needs of our employees, clients and candidates. As a growing national company, it's essential that we embrace positive change and capitalize on opportunities to position this company for growth in 2000 and beyond."

Cooper stated that the Company has restructured its operations into two key business units, Professional Services and Information Technology. This reorganization will streamline and strengthen management and improve operating efficiencies. It will also promote greater focus and synergy within each unit, enabling the Company to better service clients and candidates nationwide.

To support the new operating structure, the Company announced several veteran executives now have expanded roles designed to strengthen its operational and financial performance, including:

-- Harry J. Sauer, formerly group director for the Company's

Northeast division, has been promoted to executive director of

professional services, a new management position;

-- Chief Financial Officer Brady W. Mullinax Jr. will take on the

additional role of executive vice president for finance and

administration. Mullinax will add to his responsibilities the

management of all corporate office functions that support the

Company's field operations, including human resources, corporate

communications, marketing, information solutions and investor

relations;

-- Executive Director of Information Technology Ted Weyn will expand

his responsibilities to include management of all of the

Company's information technology operations;

-- Jim Rudman has been promoted to group director for the Company's

Northeast division, replacing Sauer. Rudman, as group director

for the Northeast division, will be responsible for the Company's

operations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Delaware.

-- Acsys Information Technology Group Directors and former owners of

ICON Search & Consulting, Robert D. Bailey, Robert M. Kwatnez and

Steven M. Sutton, have left the Company to form a new business

venture in Customer Resource Management. Acsys has signed an

agreement with the three former owners to supply information

technology staffing services to their new organization.

-- Beth Monroe Chase, Executive Vice President and National Director

of Sales, has left the Company to pursue other interests.

The senior management changes will result in a one-time charge in the Company's fourth-quarter results estimated to be $2.2 million.

Added Cooper, "I am confident that these changes put our most seasoned professionals in key functional roles to drive the success of our operating units. Harry Sauer was one of the founding members of Acsys and has more than 22 years of experience in professional staffing. Under Harry's leadership, Acsys's Northeast Group has become our largest and most profitable operation.

"Brad's expanded corporate role, along with Harry's and Ted's operational leadership, will be invaluable in the continued growth of our core accounting, finance and information technology staffing businesses," said Cooper.

"We wish Beth great success in her new endeavors. Beth was one of the founders of Acsys and has contributed significantly to its growth. Her enormous talent, experience, and enthusiasm are respected and appreciated by everyone in the Company, especially me," concluded Cooper.
