NicheDirectories.com™ and ChoicePoint's ScreenNow™ Partner to Help Protect Children

ScreenStaff.com Provides Access to ChoicePoint's Online Background Checks

ALPHARETTA, Ga.- Dec. 10, 2001 - In a society where security has become a top priority, nothing is more important than protecting children. That is why NicheDirectories, LLC, publishers of KidsCamps.com, a searchable index of over 14,000 summer camp programs, and ChoicePoint® (NYSE:CPS), the nation's leading provider of pre-employment screening services, have teamed up to offer summer camp operators easy access to background check information.

"This is an exciting move for us, using the power of our information - originally developed for small to midsize businesses - to help protect children," said Dave Cook, vice president of WorkPlace Solutions.

NicheDirectories.com's online camp job directory, CampJobs.com, currently provides customers with the ability to post job listings and review resumes of job applicants. The addition of the ScreenNow system provides access to ChoicePoint's public record databases and produces easy-to-understand, federal Fair Credit Reporting Act-compliant, pre- and continuing employment reports.

"We have been a satisfied customer of both companies for a number of years, using the Web hosting services of NicheDirectories to market our camp information and utilizing ChoicePoint's background screening services to screen our job applicants," said Tom Rosenberg, assistant director of Blue Star Camps. "We see this partnership as the perfect combination of services. Having these two important services available in one place saves time, and we are assured that the data we receive is of the highest integrity."

The ScreenNow system provides ScreenStaff.com customers with access to instant state-wide criminal databases where available, supplemented by a national criminal file search, motor vehicle record checks, credit reports, identity verifications, and social security verifications, and offers online ordering of on-site drug screening kits.

"Since 1996 we have been developing relationships with camp owners nationwide who have been using our sites as portals for obtaining and posting information about their camps," said Kim Bregman, CEO and co-founder of NicheDirectories, LLC. "The addition of ChoicePoint's ScreenNow online background screening service allows camp directors to protect the security of children by providing online access to valuable background information on job applicants and employees."

Offering a full range of pre- and continuing employment screening products and services through its WorkPlace Solutions business - from instant online screening services to comprehensive background checks and drug testing - ChoicePoint is well positioned to meet the varying employment requirements of its customers.
