Revenue fell 7% year-over-year to $1.37 billion, as prolonged client and job seeker caution extended decision cycles and suppressed hiring activity throughout the quarter, squeezing operating income to just $1.54 million compared to $75.54 million a year ago. Net income dropped nearly 40% to $40.97 million, underscoring how sharply margins have compressed even as the company held the cost line. The one meaningful bright spot was consulting subsidiary Protiviti, which grew revenue 1.8% to $495.22 million, the only segment to post year-over-year gains. Looking ahead, management noted that revenue stabilized at lower levels in June and that pattern carried into July, with elevated global uncertainty continuing to weigh on client activity, though the company expressed confidence in its positioning for when conditions eventually improve.

Key Takeaways

  • • Elevated global economic uncertainty extending client and job seeker caution
  • • Elongated decision cycles subduing hiring activity and new project starts
  • • Revenue levels fell modestly during first two months then stabilized at lower levels in June
  • • Protiviti was the only segment to post year-over-year revenue growth at 1.8%
  • • Technology staffing showed relative resilience with 0.3% YoY growth

“For the second quarter of 2025, global enterprise revenues were $1.370 billion, down 7 percent from last year's second quarter both on a reported basis and on an adjusted basis. Elevated global economic uncertainty persisted throughout the quarter, extending client and job seeker caution, elongating decision cycles, and subduing hiring activity and new project starts. Revenue levels fell modestly during the first two months of the quarter, then stabilized at lower levels in June, which continued post-quarter into July.”
