SANTA BARBARA, CA – November 27, 2006 ¬– Continuing an aggressive growth strategy, SelectRemedy announced that it has acquired National Careers Corporation, the parent company of Santa Barbara Staffing and NCC Executive Search.

“We’re always looking for good business opportunities in the way of acquisition, those with good client bases or exceptional penetration into a market,” said Steve Sorensen, president and CEO of SelectRemedy.  “The acquisition of National Careers Corporation strengthens our position as the dominant staffing organization in Santa Barbara and Ventura.” 

Founded in Santa Barbara in 1985, SelectRemedy is California’s largest independently-owned staffing firm and one of the top 10 staffing firms nationwide.  The Select Family of Staffing Companies has over 250 offices nationwide, generating annual revenue in excess of $1 billion.  SelectRemedy offers temporary, temporary-to-hire and direct placement positions in the clerical, accounting, mortgage, light industrial, manufacturing, and technical fields. 

“Over 25 years of experience, extensive contacts, and quality service helped establish National Careers Corporation as the largest employment agency on the California Central Coast,” said NCC’s former owner and CEO, Gary Kravetz.  “By combining our strengths, SelectRemedy is now uniquely positioned for continued growth throughout the region.  It is a marriage of two companies that perfectly complement each other.” 

Spearheading SelectRemedy’s Santa Barbara office is Linne Iorio, whose sales ingenuity and contagious energy have helped the branch quadruple in size in 2006.  Joining Iorio is a team of expert recruiters with extensive backgrounds in the industry.  “Our SelectRemedy team has moved from our location at 3820 State Street to merge with the staff from Santa Barbara Staffing at 111 East Arrellaga Street in downtown Santa Barbara,” said Iorio.  “The new office will support SelectRemedy’s future growth and will provide the much-needed room to recruit employees.”

The former NCC Executive Search office at 4601 Telephone Road, Suite 111 in Ventura has also become a SelectRemedy full-service staffing office, led by Diana Wanke.  “This gives SelectRemedy a significantly larger local footprint in Ventura,” said Wanke.  “We’re looking forward to combining our strengths as one team.”

From skilled and experienced candidates seeking new careers to national businesses needing 500 temporary employees, SelectRemedy’s expert staff is available to assist with any and all employment needs.  For more information on how SelectRemedy can make a difference for your career or your company, please visit the company’s website at www.selectremedy.com.
