Description: KFRC Kforce October 22, 2025

Kforce Inc. (NASDAQ:KFRC) is a U.S.-based professional staffing firm founded in 1962 and headquartered in Tampa, Florida. It operates two primary segments: Technology and Finance & Accounting (FA), delivering talent solutions across a broad range of industries.

The Technology segment places specialists in high-growth areas such as cloud architecture, AI/ML, data analytics, and cybersecurity, serving clients in financial services, communications, insurance, retail, and pure-play tech firms. The FA segment supplies professionals for financial planning & analysis, accounting, tax, treasury, as well as lower-skill roles like mortgage servicing and call-center support, targeting financial services, healthcare, and manufacturing companies.

Key recent metrics (FY 2023) show total revenue of approximately $1.7 billion, with a 5.2% operating margin and a 3.8% year-over-year increase in billings, reflecting strong demand for tech talent amid digital transformation initiatives. The broader staffing industry is being driven by a tight labor market, an estimated 2.5% annual growth in U.S. professional services hiring, and rising corporate budgets for cloud and AI projects-factors that directly benefit Kforce’s technology practice.
