Description: KFRC Kforce December 25, 2025

Kforce Inc. (NASDAQ:KFRC) is a U.S.-based professional staffing firm that operates through two distinct segments: Technology and Finance & Accounting (FA). The Technology segment places specialists in areas such as systems architecture, data analytics, cloud engineering, AI/ML, and cybersecurity across industries like financial services, communications, insurance, retail, and tech. The FA segment supplies talent for financial planning, business intelligence, accounting, tax, treasury, as well as lower-skill roles such as mortgage servicing and call-center support, serving clients in financial services, healthcare, and manufacturing.

In FY 2023 Kforce reported revenue of roughly $1.5 billion with an operating margin near 6%, reflecting the broader staffing industry’s modest profitability pressures. The sector is currently driven by a tight labor market for tech talent-U.S. IT vacancy rates have hovered around 5%-and by corporate cost-containment trends that favor flexible, project-based staffing over permanent hires. Additionally, the overall U.S. professional services market is projected to grow at a 4% compound annual rate through 2028, bolstering demand for both high-skill and lower-skill staffing solutions.
