Digital Recruiting Study Assesses the Impact of Internet Technology for Employment Efficiency; QuikView Commences Research Initiative to Explore Fundamental Business Benefits

SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA - September 29, 2000 - Recent advances in the digital recruiting marketplace have delivered a competitive advantage to employers seeking qualified candidates for open staffing requirements. QuikView, a pioneer in multimedia recruiting technology for companies worldwide, announced today the commission of a research study aimed toward analyzing the economic behavior surrounding employment through an Internet strategy. Omni Consulting Group, a premiere body of technology economists, was selected to conduct the study in conjunction with its vast network of academic and collegiate partners.

"Critical success factors of Internet recruiting have always relied on speed of candidate discovery and a timely match to employer vacancies" said Dennis Jones, CEO of QuikView, Inc. "Specific business benefits have always been a common notion, but today's marketplace deserves an understanding of the real values behind the use of technology to accomplish recruiting objectives."

Slated for release in early October, the study will report on a wide array of supply and demand characteristics facing the current state of the recruiting marketplace for Internet technology. Among the principle areas of focus, the initiative hopes to gather an empirical body of data that serve answers to several of the following inquiries:

• Adoption rates of digital recruiting tools by industry and organization type.
• Price methods and variance concerning the use of candidate matching technologies and tools.
• Efficiency gains and productivity metrics associated with varied solutions.
• Economic outlook for market growth and stimuli for next generation recruiting methods.

"Human capital is one of America's most under-valued economic assets, and the search for its positive worth has emerged as a fascination of those applying technology to better manage growth in the new economy," said Frank Bernhard, a managing principal with OMNI Consulting Group. "This research exercise provides an introspective look inside the behavior of those making the choices and rules as the market evolves."
