Kineticom Wins 2005 American Business Award; Best Agency Award Recognizes Kineticom's Success Building High-Performance Flexible Workforces in the Talent Age

SAN DIEGO --(Business Wire)-- June 7, 2005 -- Kineticom, Inc., the global technical talent firm that helps companies and professionals succeed in the era of flexible workforces, was honored with a 2005 American Business "Stevie" Award last night at a ceremony in New York City. The award recognizes Kineticom for its leadership in redefining the staffing agency model amid the global shift to a flexible workforce. The honor also highlights Kineticom's distinct focus on providing support and development opportunities for technical talent as contractors navigate their careers in a project-based global economy.

Hailed as "the business world's own Oscars" by the New York Post (Sept. 22, 2002), The American Business Awards are the first national, all-encompassing business awards program honoring great performances in the workplace. More than 1,200 nominations from companies of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted for consideration in more than 40 categories.

With competition in their category from a host of industries, Kineticom's award endorsed the company's world-class approach to building effective flexible workforces for companies in talent-sensitive industries. Kineticom has quickly become the global home for top technical talent empowering their contractors' career development and success on projects for companies such as T-Mobile, Cingular, Sprint and Intel. As a result, the five-year old company has enjoyed explosive revenue growth and is poised for continued aggressive growth driven by daily victories in the war for talent and the company's ability to establish lasting, intimate customer relationships through progressive partnerships.

"We are ecstatic that the Stevie Awards recognized the fundamental shift in the way work is done and how people develop successful careers. Kineticom helps progressive companies and contractors win the war for talent in this era of flexible workforces," said Simon Billsberry, chief executive officer of Kineticom, Inc. "This is a pivotal time for companies to take action and embrace the shift in the employment paradigm head on. We are honored to have been recognized by American business leaders with such a distinction and we're energized to continue the momentum."

Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word "crowned," the awards were presented during ceremonies at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City. The ceremonies were hosted by CNN personality Ali Velshi, videocast live on the Internet, and broadcast nationwide on radio. Donald J. Trump received the first Lifetime Achievement Stevie Award.

Members of the Awards' Board of Distinguished Judges & Advisors and their staffs selected Stevie winners from among the Finalists. Finalists were chosen by business professionals nationwide during preliminary judging from February through April.
