New Title Will Extend ERE’s Recruiting Reach
NEW YORK, November 20, 2006 – Recruiting industry publisher ERE Media, Inc. has acquired the assets of The Kimberly Organization, including The Fordyce Letter.

Published monthly for over 25 years, The Fordyce Letter is the gold standard among information providers serving the third party recruiting profession.

"I have been a reader of The Fordyce Letter for years, and I am excited to have the opportunity to work with Paul Hawkinson and add The Fordyce Letter to our family of publications serving the recruiting profession,” said David Manaster, CEO of ERE Media. “ERE's mission is to provide useful and valuable information to the recruiting industry, and for over 25 years The Fordyce Letter has been a reliable source of such information.”

ERE Media operates www.ere.net, the leading online community of recruiting industry executives with over 50,000 active users from around the world. In addition, ERE Media publishes The Journal of Corporate Recruiting Leadership; produces the ERE Expo conference series; and provides cutting edge recruiting research.

Paul Hawkinson, founder of The Kimberly Organization has published The Fordyce Letter since 1980 and will remain editor during the transition. He will continue to be responsible for the content in each issue. ERE will handle all marketing, customer service and fulfillment issues.

“The advantages offered by and through ERE Media are substantial and will do nothing but enhance the benefits for The Fordyce Letter readers,” said Hawkinson. “I have entertained a number of offers for The Fordyce Letter over the years, but until ERE Media, none have passed my muster nor have they offered the synergism I require for our valued subscribers. ERE more than meets my requirements.”
