“While our fourth quarter operating results and year-over-year comparables indicate that we have done an excellent acquisition in Hudson IT, I am disappointed with our performance in driving new starts during the fourth quarter,” said CEO Kevin Horner. “While our consultant-base decline did reflect a high level of assignment ends, we had ample opportunities on the starts side to mitigate this negative impact. As we enter 2016, our primary operational objective is to address these start issues and return the company to a consistent growth trajectory with respect to our billable consultant base.”
