Staffing 360 Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ; STAF), a staffing provider with operations in the US and the UK, reported 14 November that revenue rose 5.9% in constant currency to $62.1 million in its second quarter ended July 1. Growth was in its US professional temporary staffing segment. The company received a revenue boost with its acquisition of Headway Workforce Solutions.

Staffing 360 announced first-quarter revenue last month. In May, the company was notified by Nasdaq that it was not in compliance with listing rules because it had not filed a Form 10-Q in a timely manner. In June, the company terminated its principal accounting officer.

“The second quarter was one of heightened uncertainty in the employment sector, with clients remaining extremely cautious about their headcount needs and expenditures,” Chairman, CEO and President Brendan Flood said in a press release. “As a result, we are facing many of the same challenges as other staffing firms, especially in the area of light industrial. At the same time, workers’ compensation costs and a weaker permanent placement/direct hire market have contributed to softer margins.”

Flood said the company is continuing to monitor the markets so it is prepared as the economy recovers.
