Arel Communications and Software (NASDAQ: ARLC), technology leader in universal voice, video and data Web communication for interactive conferencing, collaboration and training applications, announced today that its Arel Spotlight(TM) application suite was utilized by the French Government at the Les Journees Nationales des Jobs d'Ete (National Days of Summer Jobs) event, March 22 and 23, 2005, in Paris. The event drew over 21,000 attendees on-site and enabled companies in the UK and France to leverage Arel Spotlight, free of charge, to interview over 60 prospective employees present at the job fair.

National Days of Summer Jobs, a targeted two-day event designed to help youth acquire professional experience in their chosen profession, is organized by the Ministere de la Jeunesse, des Sports et de la Vie associative" (Ministry of Youth, Sports and Life) in association with ANPE (French Job Center) and the Center for the Information of Youth. The event allows job seekers to connect with hundreds of recruiters from across Europe. Conferences and workshops were also available to help them learn beneficial new techniques and skills to seek and apply for employment.

Jean Francois Lamour, Minister of the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Life, said about Arel Spotlight, "This is a unique application that facilitated real-time 'face-to-face' communication between applicants at the event and recruiters that weren't able to physically attend. We were excited to utilize this innovative technology and were pleased to help our young men and women find the employment they desire."

Five remote companies interviewed over 60 candidates using Arel Spotlight for 16 hours during the event. The use of rich-media conferencing and collaboration technology is perfectly suited for connecting recruiters with prospective employees. It offers companies around the globe the ability to connect with and interview job applicants in a natural environment at a fraction of the cost of an in-person interview. The ability to collaborate in real time, share documents, and record and archive interviews for use later in the selection process are all added benefits of utilizing the Arel Spotlight solution.

Sandrine Calvet, Director of Recruitment for Les Villages Club du Soleil (The Towns Club of the Sun), a major travel agency and entertainment company in France, said, "Using the system was as easy and comfortable as having a real in-person meeting with an applicant. The ability to work together on a common document while being able to sense each applicant's reaction and get a real feeling for their personality while remaining remote offers new perspectives to the way our recruitment methods can evolve. This definitely sets a new standard in our vision of recruitment."

Andree Wendelbo, Director of the French Job Center ANPE, and Cristophe Carol, General Manager of CIDJ, said, "The acceptance and the use of Arel Spotlight was seamless and happened naturally; even untrained and unprepared participants could use it and go through the whole process of connecting and participating in interviews. The quality of the meetings that occurred with Arel Spotlight were of the highest standard."

Gael Tempier, CEO of COMIRIS Technologies, said, "We were honored to be part of such an important event in the lives of first-time job seekers. We believe Arel Spotlight provides a rich meeting environment that allows both recruiting companies and prospective employees to connect in a way that cover letters and resumes have simply never offered before."

Arel's Spotlight application suite includes: Spotlight Meeting, designed for interactive work groups as well as one-to-one meetings; Spotlight Campus, a feature-rich solution covering all aspects of distance training; and Spotlight Webinar, for live Web-based seminars for knowledge delivery to large audiences.
