Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Significant Accounting Policies:	'
	1	Significant Accounting Policies:
	Basis of Presentation
	Mastech Holdings, Inc. (referred to in this report as “Mastech”, the “Company”, “us”, “our” or “we”) is a provider of information technology staffing services. Our business combines technical expertise with business process experience to deliver a broad range of services within business intelligence / data warehousing; service oriented architecture; web services; enterprise resource planning & customer resource management; and e-Business solutions segments. Headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, we have approximately 750 consultants that provide services across a broad spectrum of industry verticals on a national basis.
	Accounting Principles
	The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
	Principles of Consolidation
	The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company utilizes the equity method of accounting, as prescribed by ASC Topic 323 “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock”, when it is able to exercise significant management influence over the entity’s operations, which generally occurs when Mastech has an ownership interest of between 20% and 50% in an entity. The cost method of accounting is used when the Company does not exercise significant management influence, generally when Mastech has an ownership interest of less than 20%.
	Recent Developments
	In August 2013, the Company sold its healthcare staffing business to Accountable Healthcare Staffing, Inc., as more fully described in Note 2 “Discontinued Operations” to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows for all periods presented have been recast to reflect the healthcare staffing business as discontinued operations.
	On October 30, 2013, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a five-for-four (25 percent) stock split and declared a special cash dividend of $0.50 per post-split share of common stock. Shareholders of record received one new share of common stock for every four shares that they owned. The distribution of the new shares was made on November 29, 2013. The cash dividend was paid on December 20, 2013 to shareholders of record at the close of December 9, 2013. The earnings per share calculations and outstanding share information for all periods presented have been recast to reflect the impact of the stock split.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from the estimates.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash and highly liquid debt investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value.

	Accounts Receivable and Unbilled Receivables
	The Company extends credit to clients based upon management’s assessment of their creditworthiness. A substantial portion of the Company’s revenue, and the resulting accounts receivable, are from Fortune 1000 companies, major systems integrators and other staffing organizations.
	Unbilled receivables represent amounts recognized as revenues based on services performed and, in accordance with the terms of the client contract, will be invoiced in a subsequent period.
	Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts
	Accounts receivable are reviewed periodically to determine the probability of loss. The Company records an allowance for uncollectible accounts when it is probable that the related receivable balance will not be collected based on historical collection experience, client-specific collection issues, and other matters the Company identifies in its collection monitoring.
	The Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts was $358,000 and $438,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Bad debt expense (credit) reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 totaled $0, $0 and ($125,000).
	Equipment, Enterprise Software and Leasehold Improvements
	Equipment, enterprise software and leasehold improvements are stated at historical cost. The Company provides for depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of (a) the remaining term of the lease or (b) the estimated useful life of the improvements. Repairs and maintenance, which do not extend the useful life of the respective assets, are charged to expense as incurred. Upon disposal, assets and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the Company’s accounts and the resulting gains or losses are reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.
	The estimated useful lives of depreciable assets are primarily as follows:


	Laptop Computers		18 months
	Equipment		3-5 years
	Enterprise Software		3 years
	Depreciation and amortization expense related to fixed assets totaled $153,000, $158,000 and, $126,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	Income Taxes
	The Company records an estimated liability for income and other taxes based on what management determines will likely be paid in the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate. Management uses its best judgment in the determination of these amounts. However, the liabilities ultimately realized and paid are dependent on various matters, including the resolution of the tax audits in the various affected tax jurisdictions, and may differ from the amounts recorded. An adjustment to the estimated liability would be recorded through income in the period in which it becomes probable that the amount of the actual liability differs from the amount recorded.
	Management determines the Company’s income tax provision using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which we expect to recover or settle the temporary differences. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred taxes is recognized in the period that the change is enacted. The Company evaluates its deferred tax assets and records a valuation allowance when, in management’s opinion, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. For the periods presented, no valuation allowance has been provided.
	The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC Topic 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. Accordingly, the Company has reported a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. As of December 31, 2013, the Company provided $111,000 for uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, related to various state income tax matters applicable to the periods subsequent to our spin-off from iGATE.
	During 2013, the Company’s 2011 federal tax return was audited by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) resulting in no amendments to our filed return. During 2011, the IRS completed its examination of the Company’s federal income tax returns for the years 2008 (post spin-off) and 2009. Amendments to our income tax return as a result of such examination were immaterial and are reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2011. All post spin-off periods remain subject to examination by various state authorities, conditioned on statutory limitations.
	Segment Reporting
	The Company has one reportable segment in accordance with ASC Topic 280 “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”.
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company recognizes revenue on time-and-material contracts as services are performed and expenses are incurred. Time-and-material contracts typically bill at an agreed upon hourly rate, plus out-of-pocket expense reimbursement. Out-of-pocket expense reimbursement amounts vary by assignment, but on average represent approximately 2% to 3% of total revenues. Revenue is earned when the Company’s consultants are working on projects. Revenue recognition is negatively impacted by holidays and consultant vacation and sick days.
	In certain situations related to client direct hire assignments, where the Company’s fee is contingent upon the hired resources’ continued employment with the client, revenue recognition is deferred until such employment conditions are satisfied.
	Stock-Based Compensation
	Effective October 1, 2008, the Company adopted a Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides that up to 1,000,000 shares (800,000 pre-split shares) of the Company’s common stock shall be allocated for issuance to directors, executive management and key personnel. Grants under the Plan can be made in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares or stock awards. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to the closing share price of the Company common stock at the grant date and generally vest over a four year period.
	The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with ASC Topic 718 “Share-based Payments” which requires us to measure all share-based payments based on their estimated fair value and recognize compensation expense over the requisite service period. The fair value of our stock options is determined at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions associated with this option pricing model and other information related to our Stock Incentive Plan are more fully described in Note 8 “Stock-Based Compensation” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
	Treasury Stock
	The Company maintains a stock repurchase program which expires on December 22, 2014. Under this program, the Company may make treasury stock purchases in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions and normal trading restrictions. At December 31, 2013, the Company held 732,958 shares in its treasury at a cost of $3.1 million.
	Comprehensive Income
	Comprehensive income is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity and consists of net income and unrealized gains or losses, net of taxes, on cash flow hedging transactions related to foreign exchange derivative contracts.
	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
	The Company is exposed to foreign currency risks largely as a result of its Indian-based global recruitment centers. During 2012, the Company’s expenditures in Indian rupees, in support of these operations, increased significantly. Accordingly, to mitigate and manage the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts in June 2012 and continued its hedging strategy into 2013 and 2014. These forward contracts have been designated as cash flow hedging instruments and qualified as effective hedges at inception under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes.
	All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. The effective portion of the changes in fair value on these instruments are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and are reclassified into the Consolidated Statement of Operations on the same line item and in the same period in which the underlying hedge transactions affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of these instruments deemed ineffective are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as foreign exchange gains (losses). Forward points (premiums/discounts) are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as foreign exchange gains/ (losses).
	With respect to derivatives designated as hedges, the Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking such transactions. The Company evaluates hedge effectiveness at the time a contract is entered into and on an ongoing basis. If a contract is deemed ineffective, the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as foreign exchange gains (losses).
	Earnings Per Share
	Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the incremental shares outstanding assuming the exercise of dilutive stock options and restricted shares, calculated using the treasury stock method.
	Recently Issued Accounting Standards
	The Company is of the opinion that any pending accounting pronouncements, either in the adoption phase or not yet required to be adopted, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

	2	Discontinued Operations
	In August 2013, the Company sold its healthcare staffing business to Accountable Healthcare Staffing, Inc. Under the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the purchase price totaled $1.15 million and consisted of $1.0 million of cash consideration at closing, plus the assumption of certain liabilities by the buyer. Total net assets sold excluded cash balances on hand, accounts receivables and other current assets which approximated $1.5 million, net of current liabilities retained by the Company at the transaction date.

	The healthcare staffing business meets the criteria for being reported as a discontinued operations and has been segregated from continuing operations.

	On August 31, 2011, the Company entered into a three-year credit facility with PNC Bank, N.A. (“PNC”), replacing its previous PNC credit facility that was set to expire on October 15, 2011. The new facility is comprised of a $15 million revolving credit loan and a $4 million delayed draw term loan and is secured by pledges of and first priority perfected security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets. Advances under the revolving credit loan are limited to a borrowing base that consist of the sum of 85% of eligible accounts receivable and 60% of eligible unbilled accounts.
	Interest on borrowings will be charged at a rate equal to, at the Company’s election, either (a) the higher of PNC’s prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, plus an applicable margin; or (b) adjusted LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin on the base rate is between 0.25% and 0.75% on revolving credit loans and between 0.75% and 1.25% on the delayed draw term loans. The applicable margin on the adjusted LIBOR rate is between 1.25% and 1.75% on revolving credit loans and between 1.75% and 2.25% on the delayed draw term loans. The actual applicable margin is based on the Company’s senior leverage ratio, as defined in the loan agreement. A 20 basis point per annum commitment fee on the unused portion of the facility is charged and due quarterly in arrears. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit loan facility of $12,000 and unused borrowing availability of $15.4 million.
	The loan agreement contains standard financial covenants, including but not limited to, covenants related to the Company’s leverage ratio, senior leverage ratio and fixed charge ratio (as defined under the loan agreement) and limitations on liens, indebtedness, guarantees and contingent liabilities, loans and investments, distributions, leases, asset sales, stock repurchases and mergers and acquisitions. As of December 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all provisions under the facility.
	In connection with securing this facility, the Company incurred transaction costs totaling $84,000. These costs are being amortized as interest expense over the three-year life of the credit facility.
	The Company is currently in discussions with PNC Bank to extend this facility.

	Effective October 1, 2008, the Company adopted a Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides that up to 1,000,000 shares (800,000 pre-split shares) of the Company’s common stock shall be allocated for issuance to directors, executive management and key personnel. Grants under the Plan can be made in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares or stock awards. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had 720,000 outstanding and/or exercised stock options, 207,000 outstanding performance shares and 50,000 outstanding and/or released restricted stock units that were issued under the Plan. Thus, as of December 31, 2013, the Company has 23,000 shares available for future grants under the Plan.
	The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. All grants awarded under the Plan are recommended by the Committee to the Board of Directors for approval. The exercise price of stock options is set on the grant date and not to be less than the fair market value per share of our closing stock price on that date. Grants of stock options and restricted stock awards generally vest over a four-year period and options expire after ten years from the grant date. Performance shares vest upon the achievement of the performance criteria and approval by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.
	On February 6, 2013, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determined that, in accordance with the provisions of the Stock Incentive Plan, equitable adjustments to outstanding equity grants issued under the Plan are required to preserve the intrinsic value related to non-participation in the Company’s special shareholder distribution (special one-time dividend), made on December 21, 2012. Accordingly, the Committee approved adjustments to the exercise price of all stock options, outstanding prior to this distribution, to preserve the stock option’s pre-distribution value. Further, the Committee approved the issuance of additional restricted shares and performance shares, sufficient to preserve the pre-distribution value of those securities, with the same service and performance requirements as stated in the original grants. These equitable adjustments, in accordance with the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan, do not constitute a modification to the original grants under the provisions of ASC Topic 718 “Share-based Payments”.

Expected term (in years)			—				—				4.5
Weighted-average fair value		$	—			$	—			$	1.4
Risk-free interest rate – The risk-free rate for stock options granted during the period was determined by using a U.S. Treasury rate for the period that coincided with the expected term of the options.
Expected dividend yield – The Company did not contemplate a recurring dividend program. Accordingly, the dividend yield assumption used was 0.0%.
Expected volatility – For grants made after September 30, 2009, expected volatility was determined based on the historical volatility of Mastech’s common stock.
Expected term – Mastech’s expected term is 4.5 years for stock option grants. The Company’s expected term was based on the exercise history of our employees and the vesting term of our stock options.

The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of future stock option grants will be evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and the Company’s historical experiences.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Commencing in June 2012, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts (“derivative contracts”) to mitigate and manage the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates related to highly probable expenditures in support of its Indian-based global recruitment operations. These forward contracts have been designated as cash flow hedging instruments and qualified as effective hedges at inception under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”.

All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. The effective portion of the changes in fair value on these instruments are recorded in other comprehensive income and are reclassified into the Consolidated Statement of Operations on the same line item and in the same period in which the underlying hedge transaction affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of these instruments deemed ineffective are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as foreign exchange gains (losses). Hedge effectiveness is assessed based on changes in the fair value of the forward contracts related to the difference between the spot price and the forward price. Forward points (premiums/discounts) are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as foreign exchange gains/ (losses).

The outstanding contracts as of December 31, 2013, mature in twelve equal monthly installments of 10 million rupees through December 2014, meet the qualifying criteria for hedge accounting and have been deemed to be effective. Accordingly, the Company has recorded other comprehensive pretax gains of $26,000 as of December 31, 2013.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]	'
Earnings per Share	'
	14	Earnings per Share
	The computation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the Company’s net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options and restricted share units were exercised / released. The dilutive effect of stock options and restricted share units were calculated using the treasury stock method. Performance shares for which the performance objectives were achieved as of December 31, 2013, were included in the dilutive earnings per share calculation as though such shares were outstanding for the entire fourth quarter of 2013.
	For the year’s ended 2013, 2012 and 2011, the computation of diluted earnings per share does not include 0, 60,000 and 301,250 stock options respectively, as the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
	The following table sets forth the denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations. All shares outstanding for the period shown below have been adjusted to reflect the November 2013 five-for-four stock split:

Fair Value Measurements

15. Fair Value Measurements

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) related to certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. ASC 820 establishes the authoritative definition of fair value; sets out a framework for measuring fair value; and expands the required disclosures about fair value measurements. The valuation techniques required by ASC 820 are based on observable and unobservable inputs using the following three-tier hierarchy:

•

Level 1 – Inputs are observable quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

•

Level 2 – Inputs are observable, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

•

Level 3 – Inputs are unobservable that are supported by little or no market activity.

The following table summarizes the basis used to measure financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis:

Basis of Presentation	'
	Basis of Presentation
	Mastech Holdings, Inc. (referred to in this report as “Mastech”, the “Company”, “us”, “our” or “we”) is a provider of information technology staffing services. Our business combines technical expertise with business process experience to deliver a broad range of services within business intelligence / data warehousing; service oriented architecture; web services; enterprise resource planning & customer resource management; and e-Business solutions segments.

Accounting Principles	'
	Accounting Principles
	The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Principles of Consolidation	'
	Principles of Consolidation
	The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company utilizes the equity method of accounting, as prescribed by ASC Topic 323 “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock”, when it is able to exercise significant management influence over the entity’s operations, which generally occurs when Mastech has an ownership interest of between 20% and 50% in an entity. The cost method of accounting is used when the Company does not exercise significant management influence, generally when Mastech has an ownership interest of less than 20%.
Recent Developments	'
	Recent Developments
	In August 2013, the Company sold its healthcare staffing business to Accountable Healthcare Staffing, Inc., as more fully described in Note 2 “Discontinued Operations” to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows for all periods presented have been recast to reflect the healthcare staffing business as discontinued operations.
	On October 30, 2013, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a five-for-four (25 percent) stock split and declared a special cash dividend of $0.50 per post-split share of common stock. Shareholders of record received one new share of common stock for every four shares that they owned. The distribution of the new shares was made on November 29, 2013. The cash dividend was paid on December 20, 2013 to shareholders of record at the close of December 9, 2013. The earnings per share calculations and outstanding share information for all periods presented have been recast to reflect the impact of the stock split.
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from the estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash and highly liquid debt investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value.
Accounts Receivable and Unbilled Receivables	'
	Accounts Receivable and Unbilled Receivables
	The Company extends credit to clients based upon management’s assessment of their creditworthiness. A substantial portion of the Company’s revenue, and the resulting accounts receivable, are from Fortune 1000 companies, major systems integrators and other staffing organizations.
	Unbilled receivables represent amounts recognized as revenues based on services performed and, in accordance with the terms of the client contract, will be invoiced in a subsequent period.
Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts	'
	Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts
	Accounts receivable are reviewed periodically to determine the probability of loss. The Company records an allowance for uncollectible accounts when it is probable that the related receivable balance will not be collected based on historical collection experience, client-specific collection issues, and other matters the Company identifies in its collection monitoring.
	The Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts was $358,000 and $438,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Bad debt expense (credit) reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 totaled $0, $0 and ($125,000).
Equipment, Enterprise Software and Leasehold Improvements	'
	Equipment, Enterprise Software and Leasehold Improvements
	Equipment, enterprise software and leasehold improvements are stated at historical cost. The Company provides for depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of (a) the remaining term of the lease or (b) the estimated useful life of the improvements. Repairs and maintenance, which do not extend the useful life of the respective assets, are charged to expense as incurred. Upon disposal, assets and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the Company’s accounts and the resulting gains or losses are reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.
	The estimated useful lives of depreciable assets are primarily as follows:


	Laptop Computers	18 months
	Equipment	3-5 years
	Enterprise Software	3 years
	Depreciation and amortization expense related to fixed assets totaled $153,000, $158,000 and, $126,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	The Company records an estimated liability for income and other taxes based on what management determines will likely be paid in the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate. Management uses its best judgment in the determination of these amounts. However, the liabilities ultimately realized and paid are dependent on various matters, including the resolution of the tax audits in the various affected tax jurisdictions, and may differ from the amounts recorded. An adjustment to the estimated liability would be recorded through income in the period in which it becomes probable that the amount of the actual liability differs from the amount recorded.
	Management determines the Company’s income tax provision using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which we expect to recover or settle the temporary differences. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred taxes is recognized in the period that the change is enacted. The Company evaluates its deferred tax assets and records a valuation allowance when, in management’s opinion, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. For the periods presented, no valuation allowance has been provided.
	The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC Topic 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. Accordingly, the Company has reported a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. As of December 31, 2013, the Company provided $111,000 for uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, related to various state income tax matters applicable to the periods subsequent to our spin-off from iGATE.
	During 2013, the Company’s 2011 federal tax return was audited by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) resulting in no amendments to our filed return. During 2011, the IRS completed its examination of the Company’s federal income tax returns for the years 2008 (post spin-off) and 2009. Amendments to our income tax return as a result of such examination were immaterial and are reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2011. All post spin-off periods remain subject to examination by various state authorities, conditioned on statutory limitations.
Segment Reporting	'
	Segment Reporting
	The Company has one reportable segment in accordance with ASC Topic 280 “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company recognizes revenue on time-and-material contracts as services are performed and expenses are incurred. Time-and-material contracts typically bill at an agreed upon hourly rate, plus out-of-pocket expense reimbursement. Out-of-pocket expense reimbursement amounts vary by assignment, but on average represent approximately 2% to 3% of total revenues. Revenue is earned when the Company’s consultants are working on projects. Revenue recognition is negatively impacted by holidays and consultant vacation and sick days.
	In certain situations related to client direct hire assignments, where the Company’s fee is contingent upon the hired resources’ continued employment with the client, revenue recognition is deferred until such employment conditions are satisfied.
Stock-Based Compensation	'
	Stock-Based Compensation
	Effective October 1, 2008, the Company adopted a Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides that up to 1,000,000 shares (800,000 pre-split shares) of the Company’s common stock shall be allocated for issuance to directors, executive management and key personnel. Grants under the Plan can be made in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares or stock awards. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to the closing share price of the Company common stock at the grant date and generally vest over a four year period.
	The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with ASC Topic 718 “Share-based Payments” which requires us to measure all share-based payments based on their estimated fair value and recognize compensation expense over the requisite service period. The fair value of our stock options is determined at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions associated with this option pricing model and other information related to our Stock Incentive Plan are more fully described in Note 8 “Stock-Based Compensation” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Treasury Stock	'
	Treasury Stock
	The Company maintains a stock repurchase program which expires on December 22, 2014. Under this program, the Company may make treasury stock purchases in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions and normal trading restrictions. At December 31, 2013, the Company held 732,958 shares in its treasury at a cost of $3.1 million.
Comprehensive Income	'
	Comprehensive Income
	Comprehensive income is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity and consists of net income and unrealized gains or losses, net of taxes, on cash flow hedging transactions related to foreign exchange derivative contracts.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities	'
	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
	The Company is exposed to foreign currency risks largely as a result of its Indian-based global recruitment centers. During 2012, the Company’s expenditures in Indian rupees, in support of these operations, increased significantly. Accordingly, to mitigate and manage the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts in June 2012 and continued its hedging strategy into 2013 and 2014. These forward contracts have been designated as cash flow hedging instruments and qualified as effective hedges at inception under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes.
	All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. The effective portion of the changes in fair value on these instruments are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and are reclassified into the Consolidated Statement of Operations on the same line item and in the same period in which the underlying hedge transactions affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of these instruments deemed ineffective are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as foreign exchange gains (losses). Forward points (premiums/discounts) are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as foreign exchange gains/ (losses).
	With respect to derivatives designated as hedges, the Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking such transactions. The Company evaluates hedge effectiveness at the time a contract is entered into and on an ongoing basis. If a contract is deemed ineffective, the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as foreign exchange gains (losses).
Earnings Per Share	'
	Earnings Per Share
	Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the incremental shares outstanding assuming the exercise of dilutive stock options and restricted shares, calculated using the treasury stock method.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	'
	Recently Issued Accounting Standards
	The Company is of the opinion that any pending accounting pronouncements, either in the adoption phase or not yet required to be adopted, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
