Third-quarter revenue fell 0.2% at RCM Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: RCMT), a Pennsauken, New Jersey-based staffing firm. The overall decline was driven by a decrease in the company’s specialty healthcare segment. Engineering and life sciences/IT revenue rose.

“The cadence of our business continues to accelerate as we move through the year,” RCM Executive Chairman Bradley Vizi said in a press release. “As such, we expect the fourth quarter to be our strongest and continue to be confident that the long-term outlook for RCM is bright.”
