Tampa, Florida -- August 15, 2003 -- A new human resources firm, The Pascall Company, LLC announced its formation today and promises to offer a unique set of human resources services for Tampa Bay firms in need of out-of-market general and diversity recruiting, as well as local consulting and training services. The Pascall Company consists of a team of Tampa Bay area professionals who focus their human resources expertise on helping Tampa Bay area companies meet their strategic workforce and business objectives. Pascalls recruiting efforts will focus on professional, mid- and senior-level management personnel as well as industry-specific professionals possessing talents and skills not always available to Tampa Bay area companies.

Pascalls general recruiting service is called Opportunities in Tampa BaySM. Unlike other recruiting firms who may be located in Tampa but take assignments both inside and outside the market, Pascall will serve only Tampa Bay area companies by finding needed talent from outside the market. We are changing the recruiting paradigm," says Teddy Pierre, President and founder of Pascall. Instead of waiting for a company to contact us about a new job opening that needs to be filled, we are going to go out and actively recruit high caliber individuals who have a desire to work and live in Tampa Bay," says Pierre a former 18 year Senior HR veteran of Citibank and The Gillette Company. Pascall will attend out-of-state job fairs and career expos, advertise using a variety of media vehicles, network with professional organizations and maintain partnerships with other human resources organizations. Candidates will go to their website at www.thepascallcompany.com and register, thus developing a large database of pre-screened applicants for Pascall clients. Companies will benefit by shortening their recruiting time, saving on recruiting costs and having a dedicated out-of-market recruiting resource to complement their local recruiting programs.

An additional area of focus is diversity recruiting provided through a service called Selected Executives Tampa BaySM. Pascall will use the same out-of-state recruiting model and will also offer in-market diversity services to Tampa firms. Identifying, attracting and retaining quality diversity personnel can be a significant challenge for many firms," says Pierre. Its not just a matter of law anymore, the ratio of white to ethnic workers under the age of 40 is about 2-to-1, and maintaining a diverse workforce that represents the marketplace around it, makes good economic sense."

Tampa Bay companies will also be able to tap into 3 additional Pascall services: Human Resources Consulting, Financial Education and Training, and Internet Productivity Training.
