Press Release Summary: Grafdom experiences a high demand for finance professionals
in the Middle East, specifically from ailing giants in the US. Banking and insurance
clients are reportedly seeking to hire dozens of ex-employees from Lehman Brothers,
Merrill Lynch and AIG.

Press Release Body: Similarly, exponential interest has been received from ex-Wall
Street employees in search of lucrative opportunities in the Gulf with Grafdom's HR
Outsourcing division receiving hundreds of resumes on a weekly basis.

"Interest in emerging financial markets like the Middle East has been profound over
the last couple of weeks. We have witnessed tremendous flow of human capital which
seems to be in relative proportion to the ever-increasing demand from our clients.
Banks, insurance firms and financial consultancies are working with us quite
proactively in attracting skilled labor with greater focus on high performers." said
Brian Jackson, Business Development Director, Grafdom MENA.

"There are remarkable opportunities in this part of the world, especially for those
with specialized skill-set and solid credentials. The region can potentially benefit
from the global financial crisis which has resulted in the layoff of thousands of
jobs over the course of this year."

Demand for Grafdom's Recruitment Outsourcing solutions has increased three-fold in
2008 with greater need coming from the finance, construction and hospitality
sectors. The advent of the global economic crisis has caused financial constraints
on organizations of all sizes and has further enlightened the potential need of
outsourcing recruitment and other HR functions that will enable substantial cost
savings and streamline operations. Interested candidates can submit their
