How has Staffing & Employment Services moved against S&P 500?
The line below covers 5.2 years. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 39% behind S&P 500. Earnings across its companies fell 35% on average over the last four reported quarters. It has been ahead of S&P 500 on a rolling three-month view for 12 weeks running.

Participation is not spreading downward this month; the larger companies are still carrying most of it.
Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 9 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.
Sector relative strength · before individual stocks

4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
ManpowerGroup Inc. has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 52.7% evidence confidence.
Kforce Inc. has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is guarded: positive earnings, positive 5–60% three-year EPS growth, and a positive P/E are required.
Decision use: Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.

TrueBlue, Inc. has the highest Revenue growth at 7.2%, so level and change sit with different companies. 8 of 11 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

Investor read: Insperity, Inc. is the scale benchmark; TrueBlue, Inc. is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: Insperity, Inc.'s growth falls below TrueBlue, Inc.'s for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.
Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

Capacity base is net fixed assets plus capital work in progress, straight off the reported balance sheet. It is not cash spent, so it answers a narrower question than CAPEX — but it is reported for companies whose cash-flow CAPEX is not published, which is why it leads here.

PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is recomputed consistently as the trailing P/E divided by that growth rate — reported earnings, never an expected-earnings multiple. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data sources reconciled. A missing PEG is more honest than a low-base fiction.

Before the conclusion · check the blind spots
What can make this comparison misleading?
This Staffing & Employment Services comparison names 4 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 11 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
Keep these limits visible
A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.

Which companies are included?
All 11 companies in the canonical Staffing & Employment Services membership are listed below, largest market value first — nothing is silently dropped, even where a company reports too little to rank. The charts above default to a selective view; this register is the complete set, with each company's own latest reporting date beside it.
AHEAD means the company is beating the index by 5% or more over three months. LAGGING, FUNDAMENTALS UP means it is 20% or more behind over a year while its trailing twelve-month earnings grew 20% or more. Both rules are fixed and applied the same way in every sector.
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 11 Staffing & Employment Services companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-07-28. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

Staffing & Employment Services company comparison FAQs
These 18 answers restate the Staffing & Employment Services comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 11 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-07-28. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
Which Staffing & Employment Services company is the biggest?
Insperity, Inc. is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $6,844 million, ahead of TriNet Group, Inc. at $4,944 million. That covers 8 of 11 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.
Which Staffing & Employment Services company is growing fastest?
TrueBlue, Inc. has the fastest revenue growth at 7.2% year on year, across 8 of 11 comparable companies. Fast growth off a small base is not the same as proven scale — check whether the rate holds across several quarters on the chart above before treating it as a trend.
Which Staffing & Employment Services company has the best profit margins?
HireQuest, Inc. has the highest operating margin at 22.6%, from 10 of 11 comparable companies. HireQuest, Inc. shows the biggest recent improvement, at +2.8 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.
Which Staffing & Employment Services company makes the most profit?
Korn Ferry earns the most, at $280 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 8 of 11 comparable companies. HireQuest, Inc. has the fastest profit growth at 100%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Staffing & Employment Services company earns the highest return on capital?
CALM Chain International Limited leads on return on capital employed at 112.4%, across 11 of 11 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.
Which Staffing & Employment Services stock is the cheapest?
On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Korn Ferry screens cheapest at 0.95×. Only 5 of 11 companies pass the comparability guard, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.
Which Staffing & Employment Services company has the strongest balance sheet?
HireQuest, Inc. carries the lowest comparable gross debt at $0 million, from 10 of 11 companies. Absolute rupee debt alone does not settle it, because company scale differs — net debt and debt-to-equity in the chart above carry more information, and a very low-debt balance sheet can also mean under-investment.
Which Staffing & Employment Services company is investing most in new capacity?
TriNet Group, Inc. reports the largest capital spending at $26 million, across 10 of 11 companies. Spending consumes cash before it earns anything, so treat the ranking as a diligence queue: check commissioning, utilisation and the return earned on the completed assets before reading spend as value creation.
Is the Staffing & Employment Services sector beating the market?
Staffing & Employment Services has outperformed S&P 500 by 18.7% over the last 52 weeks and 42.9% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 9 of 9 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.
Which Staffing & Employment Services stock has the strongest price momentum?
