CALABASAS, Calif., Dec. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- On Assignment, Inc. announced today that Michael Holtzman, its Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer resigned from his position on December 8, 2006 due to medical reasons. Mr. Holtzman had been on a medical leave of absence since October 30, 2006.

Mr. Holtzman joined the company in May 2002 as Vice President, Finance and was promoted to Senior Vice President, Finance in February 2004.

Mr. Rudolph will continue in his consulting capacity and will continue to work with Kristi Wolff, Vice President, Finance and Corporate Controller of the Company, as well as with other members of the finance and accounting organization while the Company conducts its CFO search.
