TeamStaff Announces Appointment of Tim Nieman as President of TeamStaff Rx
Friday December 12, 10:11 am ET.

SOMERSET, N.J., Dec. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TeamStaff, Inc. (Nasdaq: TSTF
- News), one of the nation's leading providers of healthcare staffing and
specialty payroll services, today announced that Tim Nieman was appointed today
as the President of its medical staffing division, TeamStaff Rx.

         Mr. Nieman comes to TeamStaff Rx with over seventeen years of
experience in the staffing industry. Prior to joining TeamStaff Rx, Mr. Nieman
held positions in sales, operations, information technology and product
development for Spherion and Norrell Services Corporation.

         Commenting on Mr. Nieman's appointment, T. Kent Smith, TeamStaff's
President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are excited to have someone
of Tim's caliber joining us to lead TeamStaff Rx. The sale of our PEO division
last month provided us with the resources to focus on building our medical
staffing division. We believe that the temporary medical staffing industry is
about to undergo the same sea-change that the temporary technical and clerical
staffing industry underwent a few years ago. Top-notch client service,
integration and online vendor management tools will be the hallmark of those
medical staffing service providers that want to be on the short list of vendors
for hospitals and institutions nationwide. Tim has first-hand experience in this
area, and has been instrumental over the past few months in helping TeamStaff Rx
develop its Vendor Integration Program (VIP), which is designed to provide our
clients with sophisticated systems and tools to manage their temporary medical
staffing needs. Tim's broad knowledge and skill set make him ideally suited to
oversee the future direction of our medical staffing division."

         Mr. Smith continued, "Additionally, Tim's successful background in
sales management through multiple channels and in multiple geographies will be
invaluable as we rebuild and redirect our medical staffing sales organization.
Tim brings a successful track record to TeamStaff Rx, and we expect that he will
be an integral part of our new sales and marketing strategy. All in all, we
believe TeamStaff Rx is in good hands."

         Commenting on his appointment, Mr. Nieman stated, "I am excited by the
opportunity to drive TeamStaff Rx's success as we enter into a new era of
product development and growth. I am looking forward to working with a team of
dedicated professionals who have delivered unparalleled service for many years.
Together, we can move TeamStaff Rx forward."

         Mr. Nieman assumes the role formerly held by Betsy Hoaglin. Mr. Smith
stated, "TeamStaff Rx started with Betsy Hoaglin. She helped create the culture
of world-class service that permeates the organization. We thank her for her
many years of service."
