Damian Offers Screening Advantage to Clients

Los Angeles, CA, February X, 2001—Damian Services Corporation, a Chicago-based outsource provider of back office services and payroll funding to the temporary staffing industry, has announced a strategic alliance with InfoLink Screening Services, Inc. InfoLink is a major provider of online background screening and drug testing for job applicants and employees. The alliance addresses two key trends. First, both companies offer their clientele the increased speed and convenience on Internet- based services. Second, employers are recognizing they share co-liability with staffing firms for the actions of temporary employees and are requiring those temps to pass screening qualifications equivalent to permanent hires. The alliance will enable staffing firms to set up specific screening requirements by customer, fulfilling those automatically and online through InfoLink as part of their normal billing processes.

“By joining forces with InfoLink we provide our clients a value-added service,” states Jim Stoynoff, President and CEO of Damian Services Corporation. “Companies increasingly require assignment employees to pass the same screening tests as their permanent employees. Staffing firms that can efficiently process these requests gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace.”

Damian, a member of the ASP Industry Consortium, already offers its clients a suite of Internet-based software solutions known as WebWorks. With WebWorks Damian clients enter their business data via the Internet and it resides in a password-protected data warehouse. Damian uses this data to generate payroll checks, customer invoices and tax payments. To access WebWorks requires only Internet access and Explorer 5.0.

Features currently offered as part of WebWorks include Internet Time and Attendance, StarSearcher and Data Warehouse. Internet Time and Attendance allows assignment employees to submit time and expenses online and allows customers to approve hours online. StarSearcher is a front-office automation tool which includes order filling, search and retrieval, resume scanning, sales and service contact management, prospecting and activity reports. The application integrates with Damian’s back office applications to eliminate double entry of payroll and billing data. The Data Warehouse function allows 24/7 access to company data from any Internet location, while permitting clients to control access by person and by degree of access.

InfoLink’s The HIRE Program® provides the latest online technology for background screening without special software requirements. InfoLink clients use HIRE to request background searches, view reports in progress and view completed reports. InfoLink’s site also offers a data warehousing function which clients may use to print reports anytime or to store reports on InfoLink's secure Web site, thus saving file space.

“We are very pleased to be working with Damian, an industry leader,” said Barry Nadell, InfoLink’s President. “Our alliance is the wave of the future, providing superior service both to employers and to the temporary staffing industry.”
