| September 13, 2000 Hunt-Scanlon Launches Online Marketplace Connecting Recruiters and Employers Worldwide Stamford, CT, September 13, 2000 - Hunt-Scanlon Advisors, the nation's leader in providing market intelligence and online information resources for senior-level Internet recruiting and executive search professionals, today launched recruiterlink.com, a business-to-business electronic marketplace connecting thousands of employers with the nation's leading executive recruiters. The key feature of recruiterlink.com is a searchable database identifying top retained executive recruiters around the world. Employers using the system can create short lists of search consultants by performing customized queries according to state, country, industry, function, salary level handled and search firm off-limits policies. Each recruiter profile that matches the query selection contains a separate hyperlink to that recruiter's detailed profile page. Clicking on this link provides the user with an extensive overview of the recruiter, which includes a photograph and professional and personal background information. An additional link from the recruiter's profile page allows the end-user to review information on the firm in which the recruiter is employed; this firm profile page also includes a direct link to the search firm's website. "Recruiterlink.com was created in response to the overwhelming demand for a web-based product that would enable buyers of recruiting services to easily locate individual recruiters who can assist in their executive search and senior management staffing needs," said Matthew Kaye, chief product manager at Hunt-Scanlon. Currently, over 400 executive recruiters have joined the exchange representing leading firms from large generalists to small specialist boutiques. Among the participants are Spencer Stuart, Russell Reynolds Associates, Korn/Ferry International, Heidrick & Struggles, TMP Worldwide, Christian & Timbers, Ray & Berndtson, A.T. Kearney, Stanton Chase International, Diversified Search, Slayton International and The Whitney Group. Over 20 countries are represented. "Hunt-Scanlon is poised to create the largest and most comprehensive e-business exchange connecting buyers and sellers of recruiting services worldwide," said Christopher W. Hunt, president of Hunt-Scanlon. "This is a significant milestone in our efforts to establish a transformational b-to-b entity in the recruiting industry sector."
