                            Half Year Trading Update

Staffline Recruitment Group plc, a leading provider of recruitment and
 outsourced HR services to industry, today issues a half year trading update 
for the six months ended 30 June 2005.

The Board is pleased to report that Staffline's overall performance is ahead of
last year and in line with its expectations for the first half. On current
trends, the Board is also confident that full year expectations are 
achievable given the expansion of its OnSite business, subject to customers' 
continued demand for temporary staff against the current economic background.

Staffline has continued to perform well benefiting from the contribution from
the additional OnSite locations that have come on stream compared to the same
period last year. The new OnSites added in the year to date are all performing
to plan, and we continue to see momentum in our pipeline of OnSite prospects
to provide encouragement for the remainder of the year. The number of OnSites
as at 30 June 2005 stood at 46 compared to 35 at the year end.

Staffline intends to issue its interim results for the six months ended 30 June
2005 on Tuesday 6 September 2005 at which time a further update on current
trading will be provided.

Commenting on the trading update, Andy Hogarth, Staffline's Managing Director,
said:

'Staffline's first half performance has been in line with expectations and we
remain confident that we will make continued progress in the year as whole.'
