Parity on recruitment drive for new business wins and opportunities

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 18, 2006 -- Parity, the Business and IT services organisation that has brought efficiencies to the Government sector through IT projects and improved quality of public services to communities is in a major drive to recruit staff in key roles to support their rapid growth plans and recent wins.

The group needs more IT professionals (http://www.parity.net/about_parity/careers/default.aspx ), including those with PRINCE2� and ITIL� experience to help manage client based projects. David Conkleton, Managing Director of Parity Business Solutions (http://www.parity.net/solutions ) says �This is an exciting time to work at Parity as we see the results of our efforts come in. We have set ourselves some demanding targets and we are achieving them, we just need further good people to continue our high quality delivery to clients�.

With Parity�s commitment to growing its Irish/UK wide operations to support contract wins in excess of �13 million Parity is looking for skills in much demand in the market. But the Group maintains exceptional staff loyalty and a pedigree in training (http://www.parity.net/Training ) for these skills gives it the edge when it comes to recruiting the best people.

David continues �We have an open and honest environment to work in and we foster a can-do spirit to deliver against our commitments so we believe we are a competitive and attractive recruiter in the face of competition for jobs. I have every confidence that good staff want to work for us. Attitude and approach is more important than how deep their technical skill is. We invest a lot in developing people�s technical ability�.

Parity has recently been successful in winning awards (http://ir.parity.net/parity/newsev/releases/pressrelease/?id=3939577 ) on a number of categories to supply the public sector through the Government�s Catalist framework and remains the market leader in Project and Programme Management training and ITIL� based skills development.
