Corporate Resource Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRRS), a diversified technology, staffing, recruiting and consulting services firm, announced today that the Company will be joining the Russell Global Index when Russell Investments reconstitutes its U.S. and global equity indexes on June 27, 2014, according to a preliminary list of additions on www.russell.com/indexes.

Membership in the Russell Global Index, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the appropriate large-cap, small-cap, all-cap indexes as well as the applicable style, sector and country indexes. Russell determines membership for its equity indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes. Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. Approximately $5.2 trillion in assets are benchmarked to the Russell Indexes.

“We are very pleased to be included in the Russell Global Index which will provide us the opportunity to further strengthen our visibility in the investment community,” said John P. Messina, President and CEO of Corporate Resource Services.
