SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) June 16, 2003 -- Engineering and construction staffing companies from all around the world, including the US, the UK, Asia, the Middle East, Poland, Australia, India, Bangladesh and the Philippines have been persistently phoning and emailing EPCglobal in hopes of a business partnership. EPCglobal, an international recruitment and staffing solutions firm focused solely on the engineering and construction industries, has been flooded by requests for strategic alliances in the rebuilding of Iraq.

Querying both EPCglobal staff in the US and the UK, the companies seeking the alliances are usually staffing firms also focusing on the engineering-and-construction niche. However, other types of personnel firms are volunteering their services as well. Even companies whom recruit chefs and nurses have sent the company information. EPCglobals US Managing Director Richard Hoare estimates there have been requests from about 350 different staffing companies so far. These run the gamut from huge worldwide organizations to small, independently owned shops.

"The staffing industry recognizes EPCglobal's experience in supporting large E&C projects around the world. Our unique web-based technology - EPCjobs.com - allows Project Managers remote access to more than 25,000 experienced engineering-and-construction professionals from anywhere....all they need is a laptop and dial tone. We expect that our technology will play an instrumental role in many of the remote projects taking place around the world, allowing the field team to remain in constant contact with their corporate workforce planners who will typically be located somewhere else," says Richard.

Hoare added, Were glad that our peers in the E&C and staffing industries understand the massive work that lies ahead of us, and are impressed with their quick move to action. There will be plenty of projects to be completed, and we hope to have the opportunity to work with many of those whom submitted requests. All requests will eventually receive a response."
