For immediate release                                                4 July 2006

                        STAFFLINE RECRUITMENT GROUP PLC
                                 ('Staffline')

                            Half Year Trading Update

                               Notice of Results

Staffline Recruitment Group plc, a leading provider of recruitment and
outsourced HR services to industry, today issues a half year trading update for
the six months ended 30 June 2006.

Since the AGM trading update, announced on 25 May, Staffline has continued its
strong performance such that sales and profit for the first six months of the
year are, as anticipated, well ahead of the same period last year and are in 
line with our expectations.

This performance has been driven primarily by our OnSite and industrial branch
divisions. Our OnSite division, which manages the temporary recruitment function
of its clients and represents approximately two thirds of Group turnover, has
successfully won OnSites with both new and existing clients resulting in a total
of 63 OnSites at 30 June 2006 compared to 42 at 30 June 2005 and 53 at 31
December 2005. Our industrial branch division has continued to perform well
across the entire network, whilst it also continues to incubate new OnSites.

We announced on 25 May a significant contract won with a major producer of fast
moving consumer goods (FMCG).  The contract is now being implemented, with
Staffline already providing all temporary recruitment services to four of six 
intended production sites.

In May 2006, Staffline became the first of the major labour providers operating
in the food production and associated sectors to have successfully gained a
licence from the Gangmasters Licensing Authority.  Since that time, we have been 
encouraged by the level of interest received from potential clients as a result
of our licensed status.

Commenting on outlook, Andy Hogarth, Staffline's Managing Director, said:

'In light of the performance in the first six months of the year, the OnSites
successfully won to date and a good pipeline of OnSite opportunities, we are
confident of continued progress in the second half of the year and of our 
prospects for the year as a whole.  As it is still early in the financial year,
our outlook for the year as a whole remains unchanged.'

Staffline intends to issue its interim results for the six months ended 
30 June 2006 on Wednesday, 6 September 2006 at which time a further update on
current trading will be provided.
