Revenue model

1. Temporary Staffing Services: Provides flexible staffing solutions allowing employers to ramp up quickly, add specialized skills as needed, fill in for leaves or absences, and avoid burnout and excess overtime. Employees are placed on QES payroll.
2. Temp-to-Hire Staffing: Allows employers to evaluate employees on the job before committing to full-time hire. Helps save time and money, ensure cultural fit, and improve retention by allowing candidates to experience the work environment firsthand.
3. Direct Hire Recruiting: Shortens time and cost to hire. QES handles screening, reference checks, drug testing, and background investigations. Reduces time spent screening resumes and enables access to passive candidates.
4. Payrolling Service: QES acts as employer of record, managing paycheck distribution, tax withholding, and benefits administration. Reduces employer risk, liability, and compliance exposure. Eliminates workers' compensation and unemployment claims concerns.

• Randstad: Global staffing and HR services company with significant U.S. light-industrial and clerical staffing presence. Broad incumbent competitor that overlaps QES's temp, temp-to-hire, and direct-hire offerings but competes primarily via scale, technology, and national accounts.

Direct peers

• Snelling Staffing Services: Franchise staffing network placing office, industrial, and professional talent with small and mid-sized employers across the U.S. Closely comparable to QES given its franchise/branch structure, broad service portfolio, and emphasis on relationship-driven local service versus national-brand automation.
• Spherion Staffing: Mid-market staffing firm operating through a network of locally owned offices serving administrative, light-industrial, and specialty roles. Comparable to QES in its localized franchise-style footprint, light-industrial and clerical focus, and concentration on serving small and mid-sized employers in secondary U.S. markets.
• Labor Finders: U.S. staffing franchise specializing in light-industrial, construction, and general labor placements through locally owned offices in small and mid-sized markets. Closely comparable to QES in target workforce (industrial, general labor), branch-based operating model, and focus on underserved secondary U.S. markets.
• AppleOne Employment Services: Privately held staffing firm with branch offices providing temporary, temp-to-hire, direct hire, and payrolling solutions to small and mid-sized businesses. Comparable to QES in business model, employer target (SMB and mid-market), and service mix spanning administrative and industrial placements.
• CornerStone Staffing Solutions: Regional staffing agency providing temporary, temp-to-hire, direct hire, and payrolling services to administrative, light-industrial, and professional clients. Comparable to QES in offering breadth, employer target (SMB/mid-market), and geographic emphasis on secondary metropolitan markets.
• Express Employment Professionals: Franchise-based staffing company placing office, commercial, and light-industrial workers through locally owned offices across the U.S. and Canada. Directly comparable because its franchise model targets exactly the kind of small/rural markets QES serves, with similar mix of temp, temp-to-hire, direct hire, and payrolling services.
