What Kforce does

Kforce Inc. (NYSE: KFRC) is a US-focused professional staffing and solutions firm founded in 1962 and headquartered in Tampa, Florida. The company deploys approximately 17,000 skilled professionals annually across two practice areas—Technology (over 90% of revenue) and Finance & Accounting—serving over 4,000 clients including 70% of the Fortune 100. Its delivery architecture spans three core solution tiers: Talent Solutions (temporary and direct-hire staffing), Team Solutions (dedicated team delivery), and Project Solutions (managed outcomes), supplemented by International Talent Solutions, Visa Sponsorship Solutions, and the 2026-launch Kforce Innovation Experience for AI-focused co-creation.

The company's go-to-market is enterprise field sales executed through a network of over 60 US offices and two national recruiting centers, augmented by digital self-service channels (Kforce.com job portal, KFORCEconnect mobile referral app, On Assignment consultant portal). Pricing is quote-based and varies by role, skill, and engagement type. Revenue mechanics are professional services bill rates and placement fees with gross margins in the mid-to-high 20s% range (Q1 2026 gross margin 27.3%). Kforce also operates an India development center that provides multi-shore delivery for approximately 60% of its top 25 clients.

FY2025 revenue was $1.33 billion, following three consecutive years of decline from a 2022 peak of $1.71 billion. Q1 2026 revenue of $330.4 million marked the first year-over-year growth since Q4 2022, signaling a potential cyclical turnaround. The firm is publicly traded with a market capitalization of approximately $665 million as of February 2026, an 8-year track record of dividend increases, and a 5.17% dividend yield. Kforce's competitive position rests on brand recognition (#1 most recognized staffing brand by SIA, 10 consecutive Forbes listings), a dense US office footprint, and a relationship-based enterprise sales motion.
