TALX Executives Assigned New Responsibilities

  
    
  
  
    
      TALX Corporation (NASDAQ: TALX), a leading provider of payroll-related 
      and human resources services, announced today that it has assigned new 
      responsibilities to two senior executives.
    
    
      L. Keith Graves, chief financial officer, has also been named president 
      of tax management services, which includes TALX’s 
      unemployment tax business, as well as its tax credits and incentives 
      business. Edward W. Chaffin has been given responsibility for the company’s 
      combined sales and service organization.
    
    
      Since 2004 Chaffin has been president of the company’s 
      unemployment tax management business. Under his leadership, the 
      unemployment tax management business achieved consistent organic revenue 
      growth and realized the benefits of the consolidation of infrastructure 
      of various acquisitions, resulting in solid improvement in gross margin.
    
    
      William W. Canfield, president and chief executive officer of TALX, 
      commented, “As CFO, Keith has provided strong 
      leadership supporting TALX’s growth, playing 
      an integral part in our acquisitions as well as maintaining our strong 
      balance sheet and financing position. His familiarity with the tax 
      business, as well as his broad understanding of TALX’s 
      strategy and financial foundation, are an excellent fit with leading 
      this growing business line on a day-to-day basis. At the same time, we 
      are pleased to have Ed taking a broader role in sales and service, which 
      not only is fundamental to our continued growth but also demonstrates 
      our strategic emphasis on cross-selling. His experience with our many 
      unemployment tax clients will be invaluable in this expanded role, where 
      he will be charged with overseeing our market presence with an eye 
      toward developing new clients and exceptional client service.”
