        IT Staffing Ltd. Finalizes Merger with TransGlobal Services Inc.
    Strategic merger doubles company's size and creates branded distribution
     channel of engineering and IT recruiting services across North America

TORONTO, Ontario - November 8, 1999 - IT Staffing Ltd., (NASDAQ: ITST, BSE:
ITI), a leader in IT recruiting and consulting services, today announced a
merger with TransGlobal Services Inc. (NASDAQ: TGSI), a leading supplier of
technical temporary staffing services specializing in the aerospace and
electronics industries.

The merger is an all-stock transaction, with TransGlobal acquiring approximately
700,000 IT Staffing shares. TransGlobal brings additional annual revenue of
approximately $40 million (US) to IT Staffing.

"The TransGlobal deal brings to our company some very strong and very key client
relationships, such as Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Motorola and Honeywell," said
Declan French, President and Chief Executive Officer, IT Staffing Ltd. "IT
Staffing's powerful Global Tool Set will manage the integration of the two
companies so that we can very quickly roll out IT services as a complement to
TransGlobal's engineering services to their established client base."

IT Staffing's proprietary Global Tool Set (GTS) is a comprehensive Web-based
system used by all company employees in their recruitment, account management,
administrative, and communications tasks. It incorporates all of the company's
best practices into one streamlined program, resulting in increased employee
productivity. AppTracker, a subset of the GTS system, is marketed as a service
to clients.

"I am very pleased that TransGlobal is becoming part of such an innovative and
strategically-minded company as IT Staffing, and that we'll be contributing to
its growth," said TransGlobal President and CEO Joseph Sicinski. "Everyone here
(at TransGlobal) is eager to introduce IT services to our clients. And early
conversations with our clients indicate that they are also excited at the
prospect."

As a result of the acquisition, TransGlobal Services Inc. will be a wholly owned
subsidiary of IT Staffing. Joseph Sicinski, President and CEO, TransGlobal
Services Inc., will become an Executive Vice President of IT Staffing and will
be nominated for election to the board of directors.

The TransGlobal merger follows on the heels of IT Staffing's acquisition of CAD
CAM Inc. on September 21, 1999. With these two deals, the company now has
approximately 1100 employees in 33 offices throughout North America. The
TransGlobal merger establishes IT Staffing's presence in Phoenix, Los Angeles,
Arlington (TX), Wichita, Orlando, Hauppauge (NY) and Bellevue (WA).

"We anticipate consolidating many administrative functions across IT Staffing,
TransGlobal and CAD CAM, which will result in considerable savings," said Declan
French. "Once again, our GTS system will prove invaluable in helping us to do
this quickly and effectively."

The merger is subject to approval of the shareholders for both IT Staffing and
TransGlobal.
