Kforce Inc. (NYSE: KFRC) is a U.S.-based professional staffing firm founded in 1962 and headquartered in Tampa, Florida, operating since its 1995 IPO in two core segments: Technology staffing (systems architecture, cloud engineering, data management, AI/ML, cybersecurity, and project management) and Finance & Accounting staffing (financial planning and analysis, general and transactional accounting, taxation, and back-office support). Its clients span financial and business services, communications, healthcare, insurance, retail, technology, and manufacturing. The company is classified within the Industrials sector under the GICS Human Resource & Employment Services sub-industry.
