In our First Half 2024 report we discuss M&A activity to date in the Human Capital Management market with a focus on transactions involving contract staffing and recruiting firms; outsourced HR services firms including background screening, compliance, employer of record (EOR), payroll, and professional employer organization (PEO); and HR consulting firms.
After turning in positive returns in each of our last two reports, the FOCUS Communications Service Provider Index (CSPI) fell into negative territory with a three-month loss of 1.8%.
