Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Unless otherwise noted below, there have been no material changes to the accounting policies presented in Note 1 - “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of the 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
	Organization and Nature of Operations
	Kforce Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Kforce”) provide professional staffing services and solutions to customers in the following segments: Technology (“Tech”), Finance and Accounting (“FA”), and Government Solutions (“GS”). Kforce provides flexible staffing services and solutions on both a temporary and full-time basis. Kforce operates through its corporate headquarters in Tampa, Florida and 62 field offices located throughout the United States. Additionally, one of our subsidiaries, Kforce Global Solutions, Inc. (“Global”), provides information technology outsourcing services internationally through an office in Manila, Philippines. Our international operations comprised less than 2% of net service revenues for both the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 and are included in our Tech segment.
	Kforce serves clients from the Fortune 1000, the Federal Government, state and local governments, local and regional companies and small to mid-sized companies.
	Basis of Presentation
	The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although Kforce believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2015, our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2014 was derived from our audited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2014, as presented in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
	Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation for amounts related to discontinued operations (see Note B - “Discontinued Operations” for further information on the discontinued operations). Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to conform to the current year presentation.
	Our quarterly operating results are affected by the number of billing days in a quarter and the seasonality of our customers’ businesses. In addition, we experience an increase in direct costs of services and a corresponding decrease in gross profit in the first fiscal quarter of each year as a result of certain U.S. state and federal employment tax resets. Thus, the results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of, nor comparable to, the results of operations for a full year.
	Principles of Consolidation
	The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kforce Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. References in this document to “the Registrant,” “Kforce,” “the Company,” “we,” “the Firm,” “our” or “us” refer to Kforce Inc. and its subsidiaries, except where the context indicates otherwise.
	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 reporting period. The most important of these estimates and assumptions relate to the following: allowance for doubtful accounts, fallouts and other accounts receivable reserves; accounting for goodwill and identifiable intangible assets and any related impairment; self-insured liabilities for workers’ compensation and health insurance; stock-based compensation; obligations for pension plans; accounting for income taxes and expected annual commission rates. Although these and other estimates and assumptions are based on the best available information, actual results could be materially different from these estimates.
	Earnings per Share
	Basic earnings per share is computed as earnings divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic weighted average shares outstanding excludes unvested shares of restricted stock. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing the earnings attributable to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effect of stock options and other potentially dilutive securities such as unvested shares of restricted stock using the treasury stock method, except where the effect of including potential common shares would be anti-dilutive.
	The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands, except per share amounts):
		Three Months Ended
		March 31,
		2015		2014
	Numerator:
	Income from continuing operations	$	5,785	$	4,389
	Income from discontinued operations, net of tax	—		1,860
	Net income	$	5,785	$	6,249
	Denominator:
	Weighted average shares outstanding – basic	28,276		32,969
	Common stock equivalents	199		199
	Weighted average shares outstanding – diluted	28,475		33,168
	Earnings per share – basic:
	From continuing operations	$	0.2	$	0.13
	From discontinued operations	—		0.06
	Earnings per share – basic	$	0.2	$	0.19
	Earnings per share – diluted:
	From continuing operations	$	0.2	$	0.13
	From discontinued operations	—		0.06
	Earnings per share – diluted	$	0.2	$	0.19
	For both the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the weighted average diluted common shares had no significant common stock equivalents excluded based on the fact that their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share.
	Dividends
	Kforce’s Board of Directors (“Board”) may, at its discretion, declare and pay dividends on the outstanding shares of Kforce’s common stock out of retained earnings, subject to statutory requirements. Dividends for any outstanding and unvested restricted stock as of the record date are awarded in the form of additional shares of forfeitable restricted stock, at the same rate as the cash dividend on common stock and based on the closing stock price on the record date. Such additional shares have the same vesting terms and conditions as the outstanding and unvested restricted stock. The following summarizes the cash dividends declared for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:
		Three Months Ended
		March 31,
		2015		2014
	Cash dividends declared per share	$	0.11	$	0.1
	Kforce currently expects to continue to declare and pay quarterly dividends of an amount similar to our March 2015 dividend of $0.11 per share. However, the declaration and payment of future dividends are discretionary and will be subject to determination by our Board each quarter following its review of, among other things, our financial performance and our legal ability to pay dividends.
	New Accounting Standards
	In April 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance requiring that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability, similar to debt discounts. The guidance is to be applied for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. Kforce elected not to adopt this standard early.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding revenue from contracts with customers, which specifies that revenue should be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is to be applied for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods, and will require enhanced disclosures. Kforce is currently evaluating the potential impact of the accounting and disclosure requirements on the consolidated financial statements; we do not currently anticipate a material impact to the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Discontinued Operations	Discontinued Operations
	Effective August 3, 2014, Kforce sold to RCM Acquisition, Inc. (the “Purchaser”), under a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) dated August 4, 2014, all of the issued and outstanding stock of Kforce Healthcare, Inc. (“KHI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kforce Inc. and operator of the former Health Information Management (“HIM”) reporting segment, for a total cash purchase price of $119.0 million plus a post-closing working capital adjustment of $96 thousand.
	In connection with the sale, Kforce entered into a Transition Services Agreement (the “TSA”) with the Purchaser to provide certain post-closing transitional services for a period not to exceed 12 months. The fees for these services are and will continue to be generally equivalent to Kforce’s cost, and additional services may be provided at negotiated rates. Although the services provided under the TSA generate continuing cash flows between Kforce and the Purchaser, the amounts are not considered to be direct cash flows of the discontinued operation nor are they significant to the ongoing operations of either entity. Kforce has no contractual ability through the TSA, the SPA or any other agreement to significantly influence the operating or financial policies of the Purchaser. As a result, Kforce has no significant continuing involvement in the operations of KHI and, as such, has classified the operating results of the former HIM reporting segment as discontinued operations.
	In accordance with and defined within the SPA, Kforce is obligated to indemnify the Purchaser for certain losses, as defined, in excess of $1.19 million, although this deductible does not apply to certain specified losses. Kforce’s obligations under the indemnification provisions of the SPA will, with the exception of certain items, cease 12 months after the sale closed and are limited to an aggregate of $8.925 million, although these time and monetary caps do not apply to certain specified losses. While it cannot be certain, Kforce believes any material exposure under the indemnification provisions is remote and, as a result, has not recorded a liability as of March 31, 2015.
	The total financial results of HIM have been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The following summarizes the revenues and pretax profits of HIM for the three months ended March 31, 2014 (in thousands):
		Three Months Ended

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies
	Litigation
	We are involved in legal proceedings, claims, and administrative matters that arise in the ordinary course of our business. We have made accruals with respect to certain of these matters, where appropriate, that are reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements but are not, individually or in the aggregate, considered material. For other matters for which an accrual has not been made, we have not yet determined that a loss is probable or the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated. While the ultimate outcome of the matters cannot be determined, we currently do not expect that these proceedings and claims, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The outcome of any litigation is inherently uncertain, however, and if decided adversely to us, or if we determine that settlement of particular litigation is appropriate, we may be subject to liability that could have a material adverse effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Kforce maintains liability insurance in such amounts and with such coverage and deductibles as management believes is reasonable. The principal liability risks that Kforce insures against are workers’ compensation, personal injury, bodily injury, property damage, directors’ and officers’ liability, errors and omissions, employment practices liability and fidelity losses. There can be no assurance that Kforce’s liability insurance will cover all events or that the limits of coverage will be sufficient to fully cover all liabilities. Accordingly, we disclose matters below for which a material loss is reasonably possible. In each case, however, except where otherwise noted, we have either determined that the range of loss is not reasonably estimable or that any reasonably estimable range of loss is not material to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
	On February 19, 2014, the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida unsealed a qui tam complaint that had been filed by a terminated former employee in June of 2013. The complaint was filed against Kforce and Kforce Government Solutions Inc., was captioned United States of America and William Turner, Relator v. Kforce Government Solutions Inc. and Kforce Inc., Case No. 8:13-cv-1517-T-36TBM, and was amended on April 14, 2014. The amended complaint alleges False Claims Act and federal and state whistleblower statute violations and certain accounting irregularities, as well as employment law and defamation claims. On June 13, 2014, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On October 8, 2014, the United States government filed a notice of its election to decline to intervene in the case. On November 10, 2014, the court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss all federal claims with prejudice, and also dismissed the state law claims without prejudice for lack of jurisdiction. Mr. Turner appealed the court’s ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. Mr. Turner's claims were subsequently resolved and his appeal is expected to be dismissed.
	Employment Agreements
	Kforce has entered into employment agreements with certain executives that provide for minimum compensation, salary and continuation of certain benefits for a six-month to a three-year period after their employment ends under certain circumstances. Certain of the agreements also provide for a severance payment of one to three times annual salary and one half to three times average annual bonus if such an agreement is terminated without good cause by Kforce or for good reason by the executive. These agreements contain certain post-employment restrictive covenants. Kforce’s liability at March 31, 2015 would be approximately $41.6 million if, following a change in control, all of the executives under contract were terminated without good cause by the employer or if the executives resigned for good reason and $19.2 million if, in the absence of a change in control, all of the executives under contract were terminated by Kforce without good cause or if the executives resigned for good reason.
	Kforce has not recorded any liability related to the employment agreements as no events have occurred that would require payment under the agreements.

Employee Benefit Plans	3 Months Ended

Postemployment Benefits [Abstract]
Employee Benefit Plans	Employee Benefit Plans
	Foreign Pension Plan
	Kforce maintains a foreign defined benefit pension plan (the “Foreign Pension Plan”) for eligible employees of the Philippine branch of Global that is required by Philippine labor laws. The Foreign Pension Plan defines retirement as those employees who have attained the age of 60 and have completed at least five years of credited service. Benefits payable under the Foreign Pension Plan equate to one-half month’s salary for each year of credited service. Benefits under the Foreign Pension Plan are paid out as a lump sum to eligible employees at retirement.
	For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, net periodic benefit cost was $66 thousand and $64 thousand, respectively. The net periodic benefit cost recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was based upon the actuarial valuation as of the beginning of the year, which utilized the assumptions noted in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
	As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the projected benefit obligation associated with our Foreign Pension Plan was $1.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively, which is classified in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. There is no requirement for Kforce to fund the Foreign Pension Plan and, as a result, no contributions were made to the Foreign Pension Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2015. Kforce does not currently anticipate funding the Foreign Pension Plan during the year ending December 31, 2015.
	Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan
	Kforce maintains a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”) for the benefit of certain executive officers. The primary goals of the SERP are to create an additional wealth accumulation opportunity, restore lost qualified pension benefits due to government limitations and retain our covered executive officers. The SERP is a non-qualified benefit plan and does not include elective deferrals of covered executive officers’ compensation.
	Normal retirement age under the SERP is defined as age 65; however, certain conditions allow for early retirement as early as age 55 or upon a change in control. Vesting under the plan is defined as 100% upon a participant’s attainment of age 55 and 10 years of service and 0% prior to a participant’s attainment of age 55 and 10 years of service. Full vesting also occurs if a participant with five years or more of service is involuntarily terminated by Kforce without cause or upon death, disability or a change in control. The SERP will be funded entirely by Kforce, and benefits are taxable to the covered executive officer upon receipt and deductible by Kforce when paid. Benefits payable under the SERP upon the occurrence of a qualifying distribution event, as defined, are targeted at 45% of the covered executive officers’ average salary and bonus, as defined, from the three years in which the covered executive officer earned the highest salary and bonus during the last 10 years of employment, which is subject to adjustment for retirement prior to the normal retirement age and the participant’s vesting percentage. The benefits under the SERP are reduced for a participant that has not reached age 62 with 10 years of service or age 55 with 25 years of service with a percentage reduction up to the normal retirement age.
	Benefits under the SERP are normally paid based on the lump sum present value but may be paid over the life of the covered executive officer or as a 10-year annuity, as elected by the covered executive officer upon commencement of participation in the SERP. None of the benefits earned pursuant to the SERP are attributable to services provided prior to the effective date of the plan. For purposes of the measurement of the benefit obligation, Kforce has assumed that all participants will elect to take the lump sum present value option based on historical trends.
	The following represents the components of net periodic benefit cost for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands):
		Three Months Ended
		March 31,
		2015			2014
	Service cost	$	330		$	291
	Interest cost	96			74
	Net periodic benefit cost	$	426		$	365
	The net periodic benefit cost recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was based upon the actuarial valuation as of the beginning of the year, which utilized the assumptions noted in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
	The present value of the projected benefit obligation as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $10.6 million and $10.2 million, respectively, and is recorded in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. There is no requirement for Kforce to fund the SERP and, as a result, no contributions were made to the SERP during the three months ended March 31, 2015. Kforce does not currently anticipate funding the SERP during the year ending December 31, 2015.
	Supplemental Executive Retirement Health Plan
	Kforce maintained a Supplemental Executive Retirement Health Plan (“SERHP”) to provide post-retirement health and welfare benefits to certain executives. The vesting and eligibility requirements mirrored that of the SERP, and no advance funding was required by Kforce or the participants. Consistent with the SERP, none of the benefits earned were attributable to services provided prior to the effective date of the plan.
	During the three months ended March 31, 2014, Kforce made a lump sum payment of $0.6 million to a participant in the SERHP in order to settle all future benefit payments due under the SERHP, resulting in a settlement gain of $122 thousand. Additionally, during September 2014, Kforce made lump sum payments to all remaining participants in the SERHP in order to terminate the SERHP and to settle all future benefit payments due under the SERHP. This termination effectively removed Kforce’s related post-retirement benefit obligation.
	The following represents the components of net periodic post-retirement benefit cost for the three months ended March 31, 2014 (in thousands):
		Three Months Ended
		March 31, 2014
	Service cost	$	58
	Interest cost	26
	Settlement/curtailment loss/(gain)	(122		)
	Net periodic benefit cost	$	(38	)
	As a result of the settlement with the remaining participants during September 2014, there was no accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation liability as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements
	Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy and a framework which requires categorizing assets and liabilities into one of three levels based on the assumptions (inputs) used in valuing the asset or liability. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, while Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. Level 1 inputs are unadjusted, quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets. Level 3 inputs include unobservable inputs that are supported by little, infrequent, or no market activity and reflect management’s own assumptions about inputs used in pricing the asset or liability. The Company uses the following valuation techniques to measure fair value.
	The carrying value of the outstanding borrowings under the credit facility approximates its fair value as it is based on a variable rate that changes based on market conditions. The inputs used to calculate the fair value of the credit facility are considered to be Level 2 inputs.
	Certain assets, in specific circumstances, are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis utilizing Level 3 inputs such as goodwill, other intangible assets and other long-lived assets. For these assets, measurement at fair value in periods subsequent to their initial recognition would be applicable if one or more of these assets were determined to be impaired.
	There were no transfers into or out of Level 1, 2 or 3 assets or liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The estimated fair values on Kforce’s financial statements as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were as follows (in thousands):
	Assets/(Liabilities) Measured at Fair Value:	Asset/(Liability)			Quoted Prices in		Significant		Significant

	On April 5, 2013, the shareholders approved the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, which was previously adopted by the Board on March 1, 2013, subject to shareholder approval. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that are subject to awards under the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, subject to adjustment upon a change in capitalization, is 4.0 million. On June 20, 2006, the shareholders approved the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan and, as amended, the aggregate number of shares of common stock that are subject to awards is 7.9 million.
	The 2013 Stock Incentive Plan and 2006 Stock Incentive Plan allow for the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock and common stock, subject to share availability. Vesting of equity instruments is determined on a grant-by-grant basis. Options expire at the end of 10 years from the date of grant, and Kforce issues new shares upon exercise of options.
	The 2013 Stock Incentive Plan terminates on April 5, 2023 and the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan terminates on April 28, 2016. The Incentive Stock Option Plan expired in 2005.
	During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, Kforce recognized total stock-based compensation expense of $1.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, Kforce recognized stock-based compensation expense from continuing operations of $1.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

	No compensation expense was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2015 or 2014 as a result of the grant date fair value having been fully amortized as of December 31, 2009. As of March 31, 2015, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options.
	Restricted Stock
	Kforce's annual restricted stock grants made to executives and management are generally based on the extent by which annual long-term incentive performance goals, which are established by Kforce’s Compensation Committee during the first quarter of the year of performance, have been met, as determined by the Compensation Committee. Additionally, Kforce, with the approval of the Compensation Committee, grants restricted stock in varying amounts as determined appropriate during the year to retain executives and management. Restricted stock granted during the three months ended March 31, 2015 primarily vests over a period of five years with 20% of the awards vesting annually.
	During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Firm modified all awards containing a performance-acceleration feature that were granted during the three months ended December 31, 2013, as follows: (1) eliminated the performance-acceleration feature and (2) changed the time-based vesting term to five years, with equal vesting annually. The total number of restricted shares impacted by this modification was 268 thousand, excluding already forfeited shares, and the number of employees impacted was 87. The total incremental compensation cost resulting from the modification was $109 thousand, which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the modified awards.
	Restricted stock contain the same voting rights as other common stock and are included in the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Restricted stock contain the right to forfeitable dividends in the form of additional shares of restricted stock at the same rate as the cash dividend on common stock and containing the same vesting provisions as the underlying award. The following table presents the activity for the three months ended March 31, 2015 (in thousands, except per share amounts):
		Number of Restricted Stock		Weighted Average			Total Intrinsic
				Grant Date			Value of Restricted

	Vested	(69	)	$	17.1		$	1,672
	Outstanding as of March 31, 2015	1,345		$	20.43
	The fair market value of restricted stock is determined based on the closing stock price of Kforce’s common stock at the date of grant, and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. As of March 31, 2015, total unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock was $19.5 million, which will be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 4.7 years.

Reportable Segments	Reportable Segments
	Kforce’s reportable segments are as follows: (1) Tech; (2) FA; and (3) GS. This determination is supported by, among other factors: the existence of individuals responsible for the operations of each segment and who also report directly to our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the nature of the segment’s operations and information presented to the Board and our CODM. Kforce also reports Flexible billings and Direct Hire (formerly referred to as "Search") fees separately by segment, which has been incorporated into the table below. The following table has been updated to reflect the disposition of HIM. As described in Note B – “Discontinued Operations,” all revenues and gross profit associated with the discontinued operations have been recorded within income from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
	Historically, and for the three months ended March 31, 2015, Kforce has generated only sales and gross profit information on a segment basis. Substantially all operations and long-lived assets are located in the United States. We do not report total assets or income from continuing operations separately by segment as our operations are largely combined.

Organization and Nature of Operations	Organization and Nature of Operations
	Kforce Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Kforce”) provide professional staffing services and solutions to customers in the following segments: Technology (“Tech”), Finance and Accounting (“FA”), and Government Solutions (“GS”). Kforce provides flexible staffing services and solutions on both a temporary and full-time basis. Kforce operates through its corporate headquarters in Tampa, Florida and 62 field offices located throughout the United States. Additionally, one of our subsidiaries, Kforce Global Solutions, Inc. (“Global”), provides information technology outsourcing services internationally through an office in Manila, Philippines. Our international operations comprised less than 2% of net service revenues for both the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 and are included in our Tech segment.
	Kforce serves clients from the Fortune 1000, the Federal Government, state and local governments, local and regional companies and small to mid-sized companies.
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation
	The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although Kforce believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2015, our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2014 was derived from our audited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2014, as presented in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
	Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation for amounts related to discontinued operations (see Note B - “Discontinued Operations” for further information on the discontinued operations). Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to conform to the current year presentation.
	Our quarterly operating results are affected by the number of billing days in a quarter and the seasonality of our customers’ businesses. In addition, we experience an increase in direct costs of services and a corresponding decrease in gross profit in the first fiscal quarter of each year as a result of certain U.S. state and federal employment tax resets. Thus, the results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of, nor comparable to, the results of operations for a full year.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation
	The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kforce Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. References in this document to “the Registrant,” “Kforce,” “the Company,” “we,” “the Firm,” “our” or “us” refer to Kforce Inc. and its subsidiaries, except where the context indicates otherwise.
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 reporting period. The most important of these estimates and assumptions relate to the following: allowance for doubtful accounts, fallouts and other accounts receivable reserves; accounting for goodwill and identifiable intangible assets and any related impairment; self-insured liabilities for workers’ compensation and health insurance; stock-based compensation; obligations for pension plans; accounting for income taxes and expected annual commission rates. Although these and other estimates and assumptions are based on the best available information, actual results could be materially different from these estimates.
Earnings Per Share	Earnings per Share
	Basic earnings per share is computed as earnings divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic weighted average shares outstanding excludes unvested shares of restricted stock. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing the earnings attributable to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effect of stock options and other potentially dilutive securities such as unvested shares of restricted stock using the treasury stock method, except where the effect of including potential common shares would be anti-dilutive.
Dividends	Dividends
	Kforce’s Board of Directors (“Board”) may, at its discretion, declare and pay dividends on the outstanding shares of Kforce’s common stock out of retained earnings, subject to statutory requirements. Dividends for any outstanding and unvested restricted stock as of the record date are awarded in the form of additional shares of forfeitable restricted stock, at the same rate as the cash dividend on common stock and based on the closing stock price on the record date. Such additional shares have the same vesting terms and conditions as the outstanding and unvested restricted stock. The following summarizes the cash dividends declared for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:
		Three Months Ended
		March 31,
		2015		2014
	Cash dividends declared per share	$	0.11	$	0.1
	Kforce currently expects to continue to declare and pay quarterly dividends of an amount similar to our March 2015 dividend of $0.11 per share. However, the declaration and payment of future dividends are discretionary and will be subject to determination by our Board each quarter following its review of, among other things, our financial performance and our legal ability to pay dividends.
New Accounting Standards	New Accounting Standards
	In April 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance requiring that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability, similar to debt discounts. The guidance is to be applied for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. Kforce elected not to adopt this standard early.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding revenue from contracts with customers, which specifies that revenue should be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is to be applied for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods, and will require enhanced disclosures. Kforce is currently evaluating the potential impact of the accounting and disclosure requirements on the consolidated financial statements; we do not currently anticipate a material impact to the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
