Expert Statements

Joseph J. Liberatore, President and Chief Executive Officer of Kforce Inc.

“We are extremely pleased to deliver a quarter of accelerating revenue and earnings growth. Revenues, which exceeded the high end of our guidance, reflect the continuing build of momentum that began in the second half of 2025, as evidenced by another quarter of sequential growth and further accentuated with a year-over-year growth rate in our Technology business of nearly 8% that is roughly equivalent to our pre-pandemic compound annual growth rate. Across Kforce’s 64-year history, we have navigated—and helped our clients navigate—several defining periods of technological change. We witnessed that each transition reshaped the labor market, yet it also created new opportunities as workers, particularly technology professionals, developed new skills and adapted to evolving demands. We believe we are operating in an environment where many companies remain hesitant to add full-time staff and that broader uncertainty has further reinforced the need for agility. We believe these dynamics highlight the value of flexible workforce solutions as clients adapt to near-term uncertainty while assessing the longer-term implications of emerging technologies on their businesses and talent strategies.”

Joseph J. Liberatore, President and Chief Executive Officer of Kforce Inc.

“I am incredibly proud of the determination of our people and deeply appreciative of the trust our world-class clients continue to place in Kforce as we help them advance more meaningful, higher-value engagements. We believe our go-to-market approach, shaped by our integrated operating model, is gaining traction. Across the Firm, our people are operating more fully as "One Kforce," bringing the full breadth of our capabilities to bear across our service offerings.”
