WANTED continues successful diversification of its client base into Staffing sector

NEW YORK, NY, July 27 /CNW Telbec/ - WANTED Technologies (TSX-V: WAN), the leading source of real-time employment market information, announced today that several leading Staffing companies have recently licensed WANTED Analytics(TM) Apps. These firms included Source Right Solutions (an SFN Group, Inc. Company), CDI, and Think Resources (a Randstad company). In addition, Adecco RPO, a leading recruitment process outsourcing firm (RPO) also joins our client portfolio. Clients in the media, HR, RPO, staffing and government sectors use WANTED Analytics Apps to discover and prioritize sales opportunities, identify economic trends, and analyze competitive market conditions.

"By leveraging sophisticated technologies such as WANTED Analytics I am able to enhance our ability to increase job orders by focusing our efforts on the companies with the highest growth potential," said David Findley, Vice President of Sales of Think Resources.

"WANTED Technologies has developed SaaS technology enablers for labour supply and demand planning, which is a measurable value-added service we're delivering to our RPO customers because we've been able to integrate the core WANTED functionality into our proprietary RPO methodologies and best practices," added Michael Beygelman, President of Adecco RPO, North America.

"We have seen encouraging signs in the Staffing sector," said Bruce Murray, President and CEO of WANTED Technologies. "Total employment in the Temporary Help Services category, measured by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, has been up for nine straight months since its low point in September, 2009," Murray said. "Our own data, available at www.wantedanalytics.com, validates the trend across all firms in the Staffing sector."

WANTED Analytics Apps help organizations increase sales force effectiveness by providing relevant and comparative online job ad data in one view, thus focusing efforts on high-probability selling situations that will result in greater sales volume per client. Analytics Apps have sophisticated filtering and charting capabilities, enabling users to pre-define and retrieve filtered lists, such as employers experiencing a hiring spike, the number of healthcare openings, ad volume over a given time, or number of ads over 90 days old.
