“The second quarter was one of heightened uncertainty in the employment sector, with clients remaining extremely cautious about their headcount needs and expenditures. As a result, we are facing many of the same challenges as other staffing firms, especially in the area of light industrial. At the same time, workers compensation costs and a weaker permanent placement/direct hire market have contributed to softer margins,” said Brendan Flood, Chairman, CEO and President.
“We are continuing to carefully monitor the markets in which we operate so that we are well prepared as the economy recovers,” concluded Flood.
Outlook Although industry conditions remain uncertain and are subject to change, the Company currently estimates revenues for the 2023 fiscal year in the range of $250 million to $265 million .
