Adecco North America Remains Committed to Toledo Marketplace Post-Acquisition of TalentTrack.

MELVILLE, N.Y. -- Adecco, the world leader in workforce solutions, announced on August 13, 2007 that it acquired the assets of TalentTrack, LLC, a recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) firm headquartered in downtown Toledo, Ohio. Post acquisition, Adecco confirms its commitment to keeping the business in the local community and expanding its services in the Toledo office.

"Just as the city of Toledo is dedicated to growing local businesses, Adecco is committed to growing a key pillar of our HR solutions business in the city of Toledo," said Michael Beygelman, senior vice president of Adecco North America.

TalentTrack has been a significant employer in Toledo since the company was created, having expanded its workforce nearly 20 percent in the last year alone. The company, located downtown at 336 Superior Street, was formed in 2002 by Kim Davis, who has more than 25 years of experience in HR services.

As part of Adecco, TalentTrack will continue to be a leader in the burgeoning recruitment process outsourcing field. TalentTrack was recently recognized as a top-five RPO service provider on the Baker's Dozen List compiled by HRO Today, the industry's leading trade publication, and TalentTrack has garnered numerous industry accolades for service delivery excellence and high customer satisfaction.

"Our organization and employees are very visible in the local community, including our university recruiting efforts, business-to-business community outreach and our various philanthropic affiliations such as the JDRF. We want the community to know our combining with a Global Fortune 500 company in no way signifies our departure from the marketplace," said Kim Davis, former president of TalentTrack and now a senior vice president with Adecco. "This is an exciting time for our organization as we look to grow and expand our footprint in the human resource solutions arena, including continued growth in our hometown Toledo, Ohio."
