o TALX FasTime(R) Mid-Market Platform Addresses Unique Requirements for Competitive Staffing Industry -

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 7 // -- TALX Corporation (NASDAQ: TALX) today announced its TALX FasTime(R) services have been further enhanced to meet the specific needs of mid-sized staffing companies. The powerful technology and automated services are now capable of meeting the needs of mid-sized staffing companies in a highly configurable format. The biggest benefits include accurately collecting and validating time information while simultaneously reducing costs, increasing productivity and improving communication.

FasTime services eliminate the need for paper processes, allowing employees to enter time, expenses and availability information via the Internet and/or telephone. Clients are able to approve the entered information via the Web, increasing the speed and accuracy of the payroll and invoicing processes. Originally developed for larger staffing organizations as a custom solution, TALX now meets the needs of mid-sized staffing firms with this new cost-effective, configurable offering.

"TALX has always had a strong commitment to the staffing industry, and with today's competitive environment putting increased pressure on already tight margins, mid-size staffing firms need the latest tools to control costs while continuing to meet the changing demands of clients. This is particularly critical in today's intense regulatory environment that requires better corporate governance," said Michael E. Smith, senior vice president, Market Development, TALX Corporation. "Our enhanced FasTime service specifically addresses the needs of these mid-sized firms by giving them the sophisticated tools they need to better manage costs and grow their businesses," added Smith.
