    DETROIT, Aug. 5 -- With the addition of Mike Moses, Director
of Engineering Placement Group (EPG), Ricardo, Inc. is moving into the new
century with a fresh outlook and the EPG has a new team perspective.  Mike
joined Ricardo, Inc. on April 8, 1999 and has since added a new technical
recruiter, with over ten years of experience, to the team.  The EPG is a
division of Ricardo, Inc. and offers aid in filling professional engineering
and technical staffing needs depending on customer requirements and
expectations.  With Mike's experience and enthusiasm for this industry the EPG
looks forward to recruiting the most talented people to benefit their
customers at the automotive OEM's and Tier one suppliers.

a business similar to the EPG where he worked as an Executive Recruiter for 17
years.  Mike looks forward to increasing industry awareness about the Ricardo
placement service as the team continuously strives for improvement in the
understanding and servicing of customer needs.  Mike will add a valuable
dynamic to the already successful EPG team while implementing new products and
services targeted towards building existing relationships and creating new
business.
