Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | Note 1 Nature of Business HireQuest, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, (“HQI,” the “Company,” “we,” us,” or “our”) is a nationwide franchisor of offices providing direct-dispatch, executive search, and commercial staffing solutions primarily in the light industrial and blue-collar segments of the staffing industry and traditional commercial staffing. Our franchisees provide various types of temporary personnel through two On December 4, 2023 40 Note 2 As of March 31, 2024 1 13 Basis of Presentation We have prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and with the instructions to Article 8 X. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10 December 31, 2023 not Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HQI and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. U.S. GAAP requires the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) to consolidate that entity. To be the primary beneficiary of a VIE, an entity must have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that are significant to the beneficiary. We provide acquisition financing to some of our franchisees that could result in our having to absorb losses. This results in some franchisees being considered VIEs. We have reviewed our relationship with each of these franchisees and determined that we are not not Foreign Currency Translation The functional currency of the company and all of its subsidiaries is the United States dollar. Certain franchises located outside the United States may may three March 31, 2024 March 31, 2023 Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions underlie our workers’ compensation claim liabilities, our workers’ compensation Risk Management Incentive Program, our deferred taxes, our allowance for credit losses, potential impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, stock-based compensation, and estimated fair value of assets and liabilities acquired. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable consist of amounts due for staffing services provided to customers of franchisees and of accounts receivable originating at company-owned locations. At March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 42 84 not not For specific MRI franchisees we share in the risk of loss on accounts receivable up to the credit limit set for each specific client. For contract staffing services provided by MRI offices and for our company-owned office, we record accounts receivable at face value less an allowance for doubtful accounts. We determine the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical write-off experience, the age of the receivable, other qualitative factors and extenuating circumstances, and current economic data which represents our best estimate of the amount of expected credit losses on these accounts receivable, if any. We review the allowance for doubtful accounts periodically and evaluate how conditions that existed during the historical charge-off period may may March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Revenue Recognition Our primary source of revenue comes from royalty fees based on the operation of our franchised offices. Royalty fees from our HireQuest Direct business model are based on a percentage of sales for services our franchisees provide to customers, which ranges from 6.0% to 8.0%. Royalty fees from our HireQuest business line, including HireQuest franchisees, DriverQuest franchisees, the Northbound franchisee, the HireQuest Health franchisees, and Snelling and LINK franchisees who executed new franchise agreements upon closing, are 4.5% of the payroll we fund plus 18.0% of the gross margin for the territory. The MRI franchisees with a lower royalty scale generally pay a flat annual fee plus a percentage-based royalty. For contract staffing, MRI franchisees pay a royalty that ranges from 20% to 25% of payroll, depending on sales volume. Some customers that utilize qualified independent contractors cause the franchisee to pay a royalty that ranges from 4% to 10% of contractor payments, depending on sales volume. Royalty fees from the Snelling and SearchPath franchise agreements assumed and not For franchised locations, we recognize revenue when we satisfy our performance obligations. Our performance obligations primarily take the form of a franchise license and promised services. Promised services consist primarily of paying temporary employees, completing all statutory payroll related obligations, and providing workers' compensation insurance on behalf of temporary employees. Because these performance obligations are interrelated, we do not For owned locations, we account for revenue when both parties to the contract have approved the contract, the rights and obligations of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, and collectability of consideration is probable. Revenue derived from owned locations is recognized at the time we satisfy our performance obligation. Our contracts have a single performance obligation, which is the transfer of services. Because our customers receive and consume the benefits of our services simultaneously, our performance obligations are satisfied when our services are provided. Revenue from owned locations is reported net of customer credits, discounts, and taxes collected from customers that are remitted to taxing authorities. Our customers are invoiced every week and we rarely require payment prior to the delivery of service. Substantially all of our contracts include payment terms of 30 no not one Below are summaries of our franchise royalties disaggregated by business model (in thousands): Three months ended March 31, 2024 March 31, 2023 HireQuest Direct $ 3,823 $ 4,078 Snelling and HireQuest 2,110 $ 2,433 DriverQuest and TradeCorp 155 $ 137 HireQuest Health 94 $ 91 Northbound, MRI, and SearchPath 1,649 2,584 Total $ 7,831 $ 9,323 Service revenue, which forms the other component of our total revenue, consists of interest we charge our franchisees on overdue customer accounts receivable, trademark license fees, and other fees for optional services we provide. We recognize interest income based on the effective interest rate applied to the outstanding principal balance of overdue accounts. License fees are charged to some locations that utilize our intellectual property that are not Advertising fund revenue includes contributions to our National Advertising Fund by franchisees. Revenue related to these contributions is based on a percentage of sales of certain franchised locations and is recognized as earned. Notes Receivable Notes receivable from franchisees consist primarily of amounts due to us related to the financing of franchised locations. We report notes receivable from franchisees at the principal balance outstanding less an allowance for losses. We charge interest at a fixed rate and interest income is calculated by applying the effective rate to the outstanding principal balance. Notes receivable are generally secured by the assets of each location and the ownership interests in the franchise. We monitor the financial condition of our debtors and record provisions for estimated losses when we believe it is probable that our debtors will be unable to make their required payments. We evaluate the potential impairment of notes receivable based on various analyses, including estimated discounted future cash flow, at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not The following table summarizes our allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2022 December 31, 2023 three March 31, 2024 Allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2022 $ 263 Provision for credit losses during 2023 540 Writeoffs charged against the allowance (180 ) Allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2023 623 Provision for credit losses during 2024 - Allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2024 $ 623 Some of our notes receivable have contingent consideration based on a percentage of specified system-wide sales that exceed certain thresholds. Notes with contingent consideration are recorded at fair value when originated. Probability of payment is reflected in the fair value, as is the time value of money. Subsequent changes in the recorded amount of contingent consideration are recognized during period in which the change was recognized. Intangible Assets Intangible assets acquired are initially recorded at fair value. We test our finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not may not not three March 31, 2024 March 31, 2023 Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which ranges from 5 to 15 years. Our finite-lived intangible assets include acquired franchise agreements, acquired customer relationships, acquired customer lists, internally developed software, and purchased software. Our indefinite-lived intangible assets include acquired domain names and acquired trade names. For additional information related to significant additions to intangible assets, see Note 2 Intangible assets internally developed are measured at cost. We capitalize costs to develop or purchase computer software for internal use which are incurred during the application development stage.

Goodwill is measured for impairment at least annually, or whenever events and circumstances arise that indicate an impairment may March 31, 2024 three March 31, 2024 Impairment - Goodwill Goodwill is tested annually for impairment during the third not may For purposes of our impairment test, we operate as a single reporting unit. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit when performing a quantitative impairment test involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions by management. Different judgments relating to the determination of reporting units could significantly affect the testing of goodwill for impairment and the amount of any impairment recognized. When evaluating goodwill for impairment, we have the option to first not not not no Marketing and Advertising We expense advertising and marketing costs as we incur them. These costs were approximately $329 thousand and $206 thousand during the three March 31, 2024 March 31, 2023 Some of our MRI franchisees are required to pay an advertising fee equal to 0.5% - 1.0% of total net sales, which supports national advertising designed to build brand awareness and drive traffic for both potential customers and potential candidates. The national advertising effort is administered by us, with franchisees providing input. Some examples include subscriptions to various job boards, the creation of digital content for social media, supporting investments in marketing-related software, and purchasing video and print media. Earnings per Share We calculate basic earnings per share by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. We do not March 31, 2024 March 31, 2023 thousand and 192 thousand, respectively. We use the treasury stock method to calculate the diluted common shares outstanding which were as follows (in thousands): Three months ended March 31, 2024 March 31, 2023 Weighted average number of common shares used in basic net income per common share 13,800 13,707 Dilutive effects of unvested restricted stock and stock options 86 75 Weighted average number of common shares used in diluted net income per common share 13,886 13,782 Fair Value Measures Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an ordinary transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Our policy on fair value measures requires us to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The policy establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The policy prioritizes the inputs into three may Level 1: Level 2: Level 3: The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, the line of credit and all other current assets and liabilities approximate fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of notes receivable approximates the amortized cost basis as adjusted by an allowance for credit losses as we believe the stated interest rates reflects the prevailing market rates given our unique collateral position and the scarce capital resources willing to finance a franchise. The fair value of the term loan payable approximates its carrying value because current rates for similar borrowings do not March 31, 2024 (in thousands) Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Cash $ 1,569 $ 1,569 $ - $ - Notes receivable 9,238 - 9,238 - Accounts receivable 47,712 - 47,712 - Total assets at fair value $ 58,519 $ 1,569 $ 56,950 $ - Term loans payable $ 476 $ - $ 476 $ - Line of credit 16,107 - 16,107 - Total liabilities at fair value $ 16,583 $ - $ 16,583 $ - December 31, 2023 (in thousands) Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Cash $ 1,342 $ 1,342 $ - $ - Notes receivable 9,622 - 9,622 - Accounts receivable 44,394 - 44,394 - Total assets at fair value $ 55,358 $ 1,342 $ 54,016 $ - Term loan payable $ 646 $ - $ 646 $ - Line of credit 14,119 - 14,119 - Total liabilities at fair value $ 14,765 $ - $ 14,765 $ - Discontinued Operations Company-owned offices that have been disposed of by sale, disposed of other than by sale, or are classified as held-for-sale, are reported separately as discontinued operations.

Accordingly, the assets and liabilities, operating results, and cash flows for these businesses are presented separate from our continuing operations for all periods presented in our consolidated financial statements and footnotes, unless indicated otherwise. The assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation held for sale are measured at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less cost to sell.

Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Basis of Presentation We have prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and with the instructions to Article 8 X. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10 December 31, 2023 not |
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HQI and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. U.S. GAAP requires the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) to consolidate that entity. To be the primary beneficiary of a VIE, an entity must have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that are significant to the beneficiary. We provide acquisition financing to some of our franchisees that could result in our having to absorb losses. This results in some franchisees being considered VIEs.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions underlie our workers’ compensation claim liabilities, our workers’ compensation Risk Management Incentive Program, our deferred taxes, our allowance for credit losses, potential impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, stock-based compensation, and estimated fair value of assets and liabilities acquired. |
Receivable [Policy Text Block] | Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable consist of amounts due for staffing services provided to customers of franchisees and of accounts receivable originating at company-owned locations. At March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 42 84 not not For specific MRI franchisees we share in the risk of loss on accounts receivable up to the credit limit set for each specific client. For contract staffing services provided by MRI offices and for our company-owned office, we record accounts receivable at face value less an allowance for doubtful accounts. We determine the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical write-off experience, the age of the receivable, other qualitative factors and extenuating circumstances, and current economic data which represents our best estimate of the amount of expected credit losses on these accounts receivable, if any. We review the allowance for doubtful accounts periodically and evaluate how conditions that existed during the historical charge-off period may may March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 |
Revenue [Policy Text Block] | Revenue Recognition Our primary source of revenue comes from royalty fees based on the operation of our franchised offices. Royalty fees from our HireQuest Direct business model are based on a percentage of sales for services our franchisees provide to customers, which ranges from 6.0% to 8.0%. Royalty fees from our HireQuest business line, including HireQuest franchisees, DriverQuest franchisees, the Northbound franchisee, the HireQuest Health franchisees, and Snelling and LINK franchisees who executed new franchise agreements upon closing, are 4.5% of the payroll we fund plus 18.0% of the gross margin for the territory. The MRI franchisees with a lower royalty scale generally pay a flat annual fee plus a percentage-based royalty. For contract staffing, MRI franchisees pay a royalty that ranges from 20% to 25% of payroll, depending on sales volume. Some customers that utilize qualified independent contractors cause the franchisee to pay a royalty that ranges from 4% to 10% of contractor payments, depending on sales volume. Royalty fees from the Snelling and SearchPath franchise agreements assumed and not For franchised locations, we recognize revenue when we satisfy our performance obligations. Our performance obligations primarily take the form of a franchise license and promised services. Promised services consist primarily of paying temporary employees, completing all statutory payroll related obligations, and providing workers' compensation insurance on behalf of temporary employees. Because these performance obligations are interrelated, we do not For owned locations, we account for revenue when both parties to the contract have approved the contract, the rights and obligations of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, and collectability of consideration is probable. Revenue derived from owned locations is recognized at the time we satisfy our performance obligation. Our contracts have a single performance obligation, which is the transfer of services. Because our customers receive and consume the benefits of our services simultaneously, our performance obligations are satisfied when our services are provided. Revenue from owned locations is reported net of customer credits, discounts, and taxes collected from customers that are remitted to taxing authorities. Our customers are invoiced every week and we rarely require payment prior to the delivery of service. Substantially all of our contracts include payment terms of 30 no not one Below are summaries of our franchise royalties disaggregated by business model (in thousands): Three months ended March 31, 2024 March 31, 2023 HireQuest Direct $ 3,823 $ 4,078 Snelling and HireQuest 2,110 $ 2,433 DriverQuest and TradeCorp 155 $ 137 HireQuest Health 94 $ 91 Northbound, MRI, and SearchPath 1,649 2,584 Total $ 7,831 $ 9,323 Service revenue, which forms the other component of our total revenue, consists of interest we charge our franchisees on overdue customer accounts receivable, trademark license fees, and other fees for optional services we provide. We recognize interest income based on the effective interest rate applied to the outstanding principal balance of overdue accounts. License fees are charged to some locations that utilize our intellectual property that are not Advertising fund revenue includes contributions to our National Advertising Fund by franchisees. Revenue related to these contributions is based on a percentage of sales of certain franchised locations and is recognized as earned. |
Financing Receivable [Policy Text Block] | Notes Receivable Notes receivable from franchisees consist primarily of amounts due to us related to the financing of franchised locations. We report notes receivable from franchisees at the principal balance outstanding less an allowance for losses. We charge interest at a fixed rate and interest income is calculated by applying the effective rate to the outstanding principal balance. Notes receivable are generally secured by the assets of each location and the ownership interests in the franchise. We monitor the financial condition of our debtors and record provisions for estimated losses when we believe it is probable that our debtors will be unable to make their required payments. We evaluate the potential impairment of notes receivable based on various analyses, including estimated discounted future cash flow, at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not The following table summarizes our allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2022 December 31, 2023 three March 31, 2024 Allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2022 $ 263 Provision for credit losses during 2023 540 Writeoffs charged against the allowance (180 ) Allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2023 623 Provision for credit losses during 2024 - Allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2024 $ 623 Some of our notes receivable have contingent consideration based on a percentage of specified system-wide sales that exceed certain thresholds. Notes with contingent consideration are recorded at fair value when originated. Probability of payment is reflected in the fair value, as is the time value of money. Subsequent changes in the recorded amount of contingent consideration are recognized during period in which the change was recognized. |

Our indefinite-lived intangible assets include acquired domain names and acquired trade names.

When evaluating goodwill for impairment, we have the option to first not not not no |
Advertising Cost [Policy Text Block] | Marketing and Advertising We expense advertising and marketing costs as we incur them. These costs were approximately $329 thousand and $206 thousand during the three March 31, 2024 March 31, 2023 Some of our MRI franchisees are required to pay an advertising fee equal to 0.5% - 1.0% of total net sales, which supports national advertising designed to build brand awareness and drive traffic for both potential customers and potential candidates. The national advertising effort is administered by us, with franchisees providing input. Some examples include subscriptions to various job boards, the creation of digital content for social media, supporting investments in marketing-related software, and purchasing video and print media. |
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Earnings per Share We calculate basic earnings per share by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. We do not March 31, 2024 March 31, 2023 thousand and 192 thousand, respectively.

Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Fair Value Measures Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an ordinary transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Our policy on fair value measures requires us to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The policy establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The policy prioritizes the inputs into three may Level 1: Level 2: Level 3: The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, the line of credit and all other current assets and liabilities approximate fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of notes receivable approximates the amortized cost basis as adjusted by an allowance for credit losses as we believe the stated interest rates reflects the prevailing market rates given our unique collateral position and the scarce capital resources willing to finance a franchise.

Discontinued Operations, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Discontinued Operations Company-owned offices that have been disposed of by sale, disposed of other than by sale, or are classified as held-for-sale, are reported separately as discontinued operations. In addition, a newly acquired business that, upon acquisition, meets the held-for-sale criteria will be reported as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities, operating results, and cash flows for these businesses are presented separate from our continuing operations for all periods presented in our consolidated financial statements and footnotes, unless indicated otherwise. The assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation held for sale are measured at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. |
