Kodak Selects Pinstripe as Recruitment Partner

Three-Year Program Will Serve Kodak Operations in U.S. and Canada; Vendor Search Documented by Outsourcing Institute

BROOKFIELD, Wis. – April 17, 2008 – Pinstripe, Inc., a rapidly-growing recruitment outsourcing company, has been selected by Eastman Kodak Company to develop and implement a recruitment services program.  The three-year agreement for end-to-end recruitment services will support Kodak in the U.S. and Canada.  Pinstripe will be responsible for enterprise-wide hires in North America including positions ranging from non-exempt to management positions.

Pinstripe was selected from six recruitment solution providers that Kodak evaluated.

“Pinstripe’s unique approach to recruitment solutions and services was a primary factor behind our decision,” explained Elizabeth Petro, director, talent acquisition & strategy development - Global Shared Services for Kodak.  “Pinstripe demonstrated they have a winning blend of sophisticated technology and advanced recruitment techniques.  That combination will create efficiencies, decrease our administrative costs and improve the quality and speed of hiring the best talent.”

Work on the program began on Jan. 1, 2008 when Pinstripe deployed teams to multiple locations across the U.S., including Kodak headquarters in Rochester, New York and the company’s location in Windsor, Colorado.

“We’re pleased to be selected by a global leader like Kodak, particularly since their choice comes as the result of a highly competitive RFP process,” said Sue Marks, CEO for Pinstripe.  “Our teams understand the critical importance of this initiative to Kodak, and we’re looking forward to bringing what we believe is a better approach to recruitment services to Kodak’s talent acquisition needs.”

The closing of this deal and partnership is documented by Frank Casale, founder and CEO of the Outsourcing Institute, in an eight-part reality series titled, "The Transaction."  This is a first of its kind reality series produced by The Outsourcing Institute and OTV.  To view a preview of Episode One visit http://www.outsourcingintelligencenetwork.com/advertise/minitrailer/.
