Chicago , IL - April 9, 2007 - The Illinois Information Technology Association honored Mitch Greenwald, CIO of PeopleScout, as a Spotlight Award finalist in its 2007 CityLIGHTS award gala. The award honors a CIO/CTO for leadership and outstanding contributions in the application of information technology. The CityLIGHTS gala is the ITA's annual celebration of vitality and innovation in Illinois' fast-growing technology community.

PeopleScout has led the recruitment process outsourcing industry since 1992 due to its commitment to developing proprietary technology that meets the needs of its clients and provides a competitive advantage in the marketplace. The tireless efforts of Greenwald and his team in embracing that strategy has enabled the company to realize its full potential as a service company with a technology-based differentiator.

By leveraging technology, Greenwald has contributed to the significant growth of the company, expanding its service offerings and achieving a candidate volume of over 35 million. PeopleScout received a Recruiting and Staffing Best in Class (RASBIC) award for Most Informative Resource in the Industry shortly after the launch of new services made possible by Greenwald's IT guidance. The company was also recognized with an RPO Baker's Dozen Buyer's Choice award for having the technology that enabled clients to receive more quality hires, faster and at a lower cost.

Beyond managing the production of PeopleScout's proprietary software, Greenwald has excelled in using IT to further improve the performance of the company. Under his leadership, the company established security standards to benefit its clients and employees. Greenwald has also succeeded in promoting the use of insourcing with regards to IT development and support, which ensures simple management of the company's growth strategy. Through centralization and webification, he improved productivity, consistency and communications throughout the company.

"We are pleased that Mitch has been recognized by the ITA for his leadership in the use of technology," said Michael Miles, CEO of PeopleScout. "His initiative and innovation have helped propel PeopleScout to the top of the industry."
