AUBURN HILLS, Mich., May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Gongos Research today
announced that revenue and project growth in 2007 led to implementing a
companywide effort to energize its 2008 recruiting objectives. Empowering its

resulted in 11 new appointments, including three veteran market researchers:
Mitch Sanders to Research Director, Analytics; Duston Pope to Senior Project
Director, Consumer Products; and Angel Muxlow to Senior Project Director,

company. "Engaging everyone from every level within our company enabled us to
seek out, rally behind, and secure sought-after talent."
