    TROY, Mich.--July 17, 2003--GlobalAutoIndustry.com and U.K.-based Network Recruitment Partnership have partnered to form a new company providing global recruitment solutions.
    The new company, Network Global Recruitment, relies on Network Recruitment Partnerships' extensive global recruiting experience in automotive engineering and management talent and GlobalAutoIndustry.com's ability to target the global automotive community.
    "As the automotive industry continues to expand around the world, management and technical staff need to gain international experience as the globalization of the workforce heats up," said Ron Hesse, president and CEO of GlobalAutoIndustry.com. "Successful global corporations are built on the diverse international experience of their management and employees."
    Lynda Noch has been named director of the new company, based in Troy, Mich. Previously with EDS, Noch has more than 13 years human resources experience in the information technology industry.
    "Network Global Recruitment can source talent from around the world and bring people into metro Detroit while helping local companies recruit talent in Europe and Asia," said Peter Bradford, managing consultant of Network Recruitment Partnership.
    "I see this joint venture as the culmination of four years work in the United States with GlobalAutoIndustry.com, placing talent in the United States and overseas," Bradford said. "I saw that U.S. customers we have satisfied would welcome a more local presence."
    GlobalAutoIndustry.com and Network Recruitment Partnership have worked together for more than four years, successfully placing qualified technical and management talent in the auto industry in positions in the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, France and Belgium.
