                               AGM Trading Update


Staffline Recruitment Group plc, a leading provider of recruitment and
outsourced HR services to industry, is holding its Annual General Meeting today,
Tuesday 24th May 2005.

The Board is pleased to report that the results for the four months ended 30
April 2005 have been significantly ahead of the same period last year and are in
line with expectations.

This performance, achieved against the well-documented backdrop of subdued
consumer spending, is testament to our stated strategy of focusing on non-
cyclical sectors such as food production, which now accounts for more than two
thirds of our revenues.

The five new OnSite locations announced in March are all performing well, in
line with our budget expectations, and we are seeing continued momentum in our
pipeline of OnSite prospects.



Commenting on the trading update, Andy Hogarth, Staffline's Managing Director,
said:



'All the Company's key performance indicators are moving in the right direction.
We have a solid pipeline of OnSite opportunities and our Techsearch division
has continued to enjoy increased levels of demand.



'The growth of the Group to date provides a firm base from which we are
confident of continued progress throughout the current year.'



Staffline intends to make a further update on trading at the beginning of July
following its half year ending 30 June 2005.



                                      Ends
