ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

     On June 29, 1997, the Registrant entered into a definitive agreement to
sell its Interim Healthcare business (the "Healthcare Division") to Cornerstone
Equity Investors IV, L.P. for $134 million in cash. The Registrant will use the
net proceeds of the transaction to reduce its outstanding debt. The sale of the
Healthcare Division is expected to close on or before September 30, 1997.

     The divestment of the Healthcare Division will enable the Registrant to
focus its energies and resources on its core Commercial Division. The
Registrant's Commercial Division is divided between Commercial Staffing (made up
of clerical and light industrial staffing, plus the Registrant's "On Premise"
operations) and Professional Services (consisting of technology,
accounting/finance, legal, human resources and search). Revenues for the
Registrant's Commercial Division have grown at a compound annual growth rate of
31% from 1994 to 1996. The Registrant anticipates that its 1997 revenues,
exclusive of the Healthcare Division, will reach approximately $1.4 billion in
1997 and will be derived 53% from Commercial Staffing and 47% from Professional
Services.

This report and the exhibits hereto contain certain forward-looking statements
regarding the prospects of Interim Services Inc. which involve risks and
uncertainties. The Registrant's actual results could differ materially from the
results anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain
factors set forth in the Registrant's reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K made
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In addition, changes in market,
business or economic conditions, fluctuations in currency exchange rates or
significant acquisitions or other transactions could create material differences
in the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

                  (954) 489-6225                            (954) 938-7736

INTERIM ANNOUNCES PLANS TO DIVEST ITS HEALTHCARE DIVISION

     FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., June 30, 1997 - Interim Services Inc. (NYSE: IS)
today announced it has reached a definitive agreement to sell its Interim
HealthCare business to Cornerstone Equity Investors for $134 million. Interim
Services Inc. will use the net proceeds of the transaction, which is expected to
close within 90 days, to reduce debt.

     Interim HealthCare is one of North America's largest providers of home
nursing and other specialized health care services. It has approximately 400
offices throughout the United States and Canada, with 1996 revenues of $230
million.

     Interim Services Inc. President and CEO Ray Marcy commented, "The
divestment of our HealthCare Division was pursued in order to maximize
shareholder value. The HealthCare Division has been increasingly viewed as
non-core and less synergistic with our more rapidly growing Commercial Division.

     "The divestment will enable senior management to more narrowly focus on
opportunities within the Commercial sector, which we believe will further
accelerate the growth of Interim Services Inc. going forward. With Cornerstone's
successful history in the health care field, we also anticipate Interim
HealthCare will have increased opportunity for growth and development in the
near future."

     Revenues for the Commercial Division of Interim have grown at a compound
annual growth rate of 31% from 1994 to 1996. Commercial Division 1997 revenues
are expected to reach approximately $1.4 billion, as compared to $916 million in
1996.

     "Perhaps even more significant than the Commercial Division growth rates
over the past three years, is the transformation Interim has made from being
viewed as a temporary help supplier to a human resource solution for our
clients," said Marcy.

     Since its initial public offering in January 1994, Interim has dramatically
expanded into the areas of information technology, legal and accounting, as well
as workforce management,
<PAGE>

through Interim On-Premise. More recently the company has also focused on
developing a significant presence in executive search, recruiting, outplacement
and career consulting, as well as in international markets. In June 1997 Interim
acquired Michael Page, a premier staffing and recruitment company operating
exclusively in the professional services arena throughout eight countries in
Europe and Asia.

     Looking forward, Interim Services Inc. 1997 revenues, exclusive of the
HealthCare Division, are expected to be 53% Commercial Staffing and 47%
Professional Services. This puts Interim on track to exceed $600 million in
Professional Services revenues in 1997, making it one of the largest
international providers of professional skills. Commercial Staffing includes
clerical, administrative, light industrial and On-Premise business; and
Professional Services focuses on technology, accounting and finance, legal,
human resources, marketing and sales, search and outplacement.

     Alex. Brown & Sons Incorporated was retained by Interim to act as
investment adviser for this transaction.

     Interim Services Inc., based in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., is a leading provider
of human resource solutions. It had 1996 revenues of $1.1 billion, and currently
operates 1000 offices throughout North America, Europe and Asia. Information on
Interim Services Inc. is available at website: http://www.interim.com.

     Cornerstone Equity Investors, based in New York, is a leading equity
investment firm which sponsors management buyouts of growth companies. With more
than $1 billion in capital under management, Cornerstone has a long history of
successful health care investments.

     This press release contains certain forward-looking statements regarding
the prospects of Interim Services Inc. which involve risks and uncertainties.
The company's actual results could differ materially from the results
anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors
set forth in the company's reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K made under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In addition, changes in market, business or
economic conditions, fluctuations in currency exchange rates or significant
acquisitions or other transactions could create material differences in the
results anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
