SEATTLE, WA -– May 23, 2006 –- Entrepreneur Magazine released its latest hot 100 list of
America’s fastest-growing new businesses in America and Techlink Northwest, one of only two
Washington state companies to make the grade, is named for the second year in a row.

Techlink Northwest, Inc. is one of the top providers of hardware and software
product development engineers on a contract and permanent basis to technology companies in
the Puget Sound area; they were one of 10 staffing companies to be named on the list.

“I think the reason for our fast and consistent growth,” Donn Harvey, founder of Techlink
Northwest, explained, “is our technical focus, experienced staff of technical recruiters and the
increased use of a contingent engineering workforce to staff new product development projects.”

According to the American Staffing Association, the temporary employment business has grown
to be a multi-billion dollar industry. In 2005, the staffing industry generated more than $82 billion
in revenue. Of that total, $70 billion was from temporary and contract services.

“Technical Staffing is one of the fastest growing sectors of the staffing industry,” explained
Harvey. “America’s workforce is changing and more people are seeking flexibility in employment;
in turn, companies are tapping into that labor market to keep fully staffed during busy times or
when assistance is needed on a special project.”
