The Corporate Executive Board Awards Adecco Multiyear RPO Contract

December 9, 2008

MELVILLE, N.Y., Dec. 9 /PRNewswire/ — Adecco Group North America, the
leader in workforce solutions and recruitment, today announced that it has
been awarded a multiyear recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) contract with
the Corporate Executive Board. Adecco’s RPO division will provide the
Corporate Executive Board with a comprehensive, full-lifecycle solution for
recruitment of Corporate Executive Board sales executives for worldwide
deployment.

The Corporate Executive Board (Nasdaq: EXBD) offers more than 50
integrated membership programs built around key executive roles and recurring
workflows in such critical functional areas as HR, finance, IT, sales and
marketing and operations and procurement. Corporate Executive Board members
have direct access to an integrated suite of knowledge resources and more than
300,000 tools including primary analytic insights, customized research briefs,
decision-support tools, on-site consulting, executive education seminars and
web-based content.

“Our decision to partner with Adecco RPO was driven by their unique
business model that delivers comprehensive recruitment solutions including
research, sourcing, candidate mining, screening, assessment, selection, and
offer management,” said Melody Jones, Chief HR Officer of The Corporate
Executive Board. “Additionally, research conducted by the firm’s Recruiting
Roundtable program on how to effectively use RPO to staff key positions
instilled confidence in our executive leadership team that Adecco RPO is
uniquely qualified to deliver a world-class recruitment solution,” she
continued.

In August 2007 Adecco acquired the assets of TalentTrack, LLC, a RPO
company based in Toledo, Ohio. TalentTrack President Kim Davis and the
TalentTrack leadership team remained with Adecco in their respective
leadership roles. This acquisition bolstered Adecco’s already robust service
delivery infrastructure for RPO solutions in North America, and since then has
enabled Adecco to capture additional market share by delivering global scale,
world-class RPO solutions.

“Scarcity of truly skilled professionals, operational efficiencies and
cost savings make RPO a tremendous value proposition for companies like The
Corporate Executive Board,” said Michael Beygelman, Adecco North America
Senior Vice President. Mr. Beygelman continued, “The Corporate Executive
Board is a powerful global brand, as evidenced by their extensive member
network of over 80% of the Fortune 500, and Adecco is the global leader in
workforce solutions, which makes for a great partnership between our
organizations.”
