Report Highlights Long-Standing and Newly Emerging Trends
Alexandria, VA, June 15, 2022 – The just released 2022 TechServe Alliance Operating Practices Report (OPR), highlights a number of long-standing and newly emerging industry trends:
After revenue dipped the prior year, IT staffing firms posted robust double-digit revenue growth and historic levels of profitability.
- Direct Hire Revenue surged, contributing to strong gross margins and pre-tax profitability
- In addition to revenue growth, firms are becoming more efficient with SG&A expenses trending lower.
- Firms are reducing their real estate spend; remote and hybrid work for both internal teams and billable consultants is here to stay
“It is clear from our most recent benchmarking report that the industry is thriving as it continues to adjust to many of the changes and trends wrought or accelerated by the pandemic,” observed Mark Roberts, CEO of TechServe Alliance. “Given this rapidly changing environment, it is more critical than ever to adopt a data-driven management approach to fully leverage opportunities to drive growth and profitability,” added Roberts.
