Combination brings maximum strategic tax credit compliance and bottom-line savings for the enterprise and provides ease-of-use for recruiters, hiring managers and job applicants

Phoenix, AZ, and San Francisco, CA – December 12, 2002 –

ITax Group, Inc., the inventor and leading provider of job credit screening automation, and Recruitsoft, Inc., the leading provider of staffing management solutions for large organizations, today announced a partnership integrating the ITax Group JobCredits™ Solution with the Recruitsoft Enterprise Staffing Solution, representing the first Web-based solution that combines enterprise staffing management and the capturing of all local, federal and state hiring-based tax credits during the candidate application process.

“ITax Group’s JobCredits nicely complements Recruitsoft’s enterprise staffing management solution. With completely configurable workflow, our solutions support every aspect of the staffing supply chain, from requisition management, sourcing, resume management, searching and pre-screening to retention, enabling true e-headhunting and optimal staffing management,” said Recruitsoft Vice President of International Sales and Global Alliances Benoit Leclerc.

He added, “As we continue to transform the staffing management industry with innovative services and products, we will continue to streamline the entire staffing process in order to help companies work more efficiently and cost-effectively. ITax Group’s job credit screening automated solutions will be offered as part of that supply-chain.”

“We’re pleased to be working closely with Recruitsoft to better meet the needs of companies requiring a complete staffing solution, one that increasingly puts money into the coffers of HR Departments,” said ITax Group Chief Executive Officer James Wentworth. “Our JobCredits solution can be used across all automated web-based hiring systems and staffing management solutions to provide significant financial value to corporations, and Recruitsoft represents a stellar example of a staffing solution through which ITax Group can help companies to boost their bottom lines.”

ITax Group integrates seamlessly with hiring management systems via SOAP and/or XML to virtually eliminate the paperwork associated with tax credits by only requiring less than two minutes of the applicant’s time to complete an automated yes/no questionnaire. Because the system automatically generates reports on the entire job credit screening process, ITax Group provides complete visibility and accountability allowing for improved management and financial return. ITax Group delivers JobCredits to customers via an Application Service Provider (ASP) model. With little or no IT resources, ITax Group uses the ASP model to get businesses up and running as quickly as possible.

The software applications support every aspect of the staffing supply chain, from requisition management, sourcing, resume management, searching and pre-screening to retention, enabling true e-headhunting and optimal staffing management.
