us. company in growth were In the the trending to comparison the points consolidated quarter, of that cost direct for answer two your of about in fourth Southeast in we So, QX. question, us total cost where revenue

Jeff Silber

And looks a you're at like I for helpful. Is know there's current of expecting that kind the you correct? continue. the range. segment headwinds to it guidance if But look very that's midpoint that that Okay, quarter, your at for

Derrek Gafford

as quarter that the pretty X% talking Yes, quarter posted point the a the the quarter. the at a We is guidance you're about that results what for with that we minus PeopleReady, whole. so for comparable the for trend above were exited

progress in where make the until results, in the right building to we're to But going of kind we'll momentum expect we'd actually stay of So little the on forecast bit better. see and a we with for results are QX. that then now

Jeff Silber

Okay, that's understandable.

were the adjustments guess, upside the margin there to actuarial I the side, quarter? shifting Just workers' from in any gross comp,

Derrek Gafford

compensation Yes, that QX on bit that workers' we're credit, up the with little about of comparable really in points There quarter. there it side. the but of basis so last was were. hundred were pretty from was progress with a was we a where the fourth year, pleased making where We're

That's one gotten the you reducing additional we've primarily us practices programs, significantly cost in where a in is of years. have lot rate lot those But For decade. that last over put safety pretty for a we progress that last and we the that in here three-four accident while, through over followed a reducing of focus. management number the traction claim still place our of some made

average of expected. as couple recently that's as with actuaries a our down Some bringing cost the claim comparison years what in of the

it's providing comp prior difference posting So rate years. to reserves we're also current in that benefit for a in it's run as But making some posted a both year of percentage work the revenue.

Jeff Silber

mentioned talented we've project-based a to professionals business. Related We've and it's positions think and I as sales installation lot very the the So sales righted earlier, Southeast, there. filled those ship I of with managers.

having folks ramped the those the so it folks their XXXX does impact that pipeline get relationships. ramped But that back going we'll up. have and And in of time those get of we're expecting half build up full take to some and seen

a sort QX. of business But QX on drag contributing a the in of had And mentioned I clearly see that expect Derrek way. rate taken our so folks run outlook, in as the and those big QX. into QX we've And we'll

Derrek Gafford

Hey, Mark, Derrek. is this

$XX We quarter. was a excited with color add million. down exception We little a $XX $XX we to to ahead. was Just That year that the the quarter bit were quarter that. us, on $XX and about about that more last were drop quarter momentum million from fourth in ran for we bigger solar. of year a then building And a million million, some saw the this

the anniversary. a in bit QX the really headwind that doesn't of hard here really little when So we it that for our face guidance. there's that until hit headwind, part $XX in in quarter most But million fourth

have but might we little So headwind be where more QX of bit a biggest here there will piece about it's a QX, the in it.

Steve Cooper

our what was reasons ago related was regions year changes system on it Patrick Southeast color numbers PeopleReady expected, about wider we when to the more A name hands said little of given we're have are to be disappointed more regional, is variety and those nice it's it and what also overall caused broad although part a more and changes, it's the and a - impacted lower spread. is than brand versus around

in. it lost our it's good we It's we but volumes that does supply we get it's we've down this fact a the bit down, understand with people, and sales talent happen. and bit us. least the think narrowed shortage got the And related Southeast. there's got Not it. we were only if baffling nature that that a little up could price down to regionalized, But just why at going in So bit there willing, we're short-term in it war they really not of the a we've participating down little competition to there some on

Mark Marcon

you a Steve, competitor who's just or is that there? down regional it impacting player a is competitor national just

Steve Cooper

Yes, it's very regional-focused.

Mark Marcon

on focused operational I that is that and mean, competitor have region elsewhere? just so doesn't

Steve Cooper

Right, yes.

Mark Marcon

Okay.

Steve Cooper

Florida. in to. And what we're referring it's driven heavily That's

Mark Marcon

basically was the Florida impact it's so there. right, All

your the the by new gap able towards get fill out people hopefully sales the we be time second-half? should to so And

Steve Cooper

Well, today, I we're and think competitive What Patrick's to unwilling think can't assured they on that's call confidence be in this is I a participate pricing giving us here are on. spot right. front some that here war and where it's the in.

Mark Marcon

people price war place that if actually even not you've same so you continues in sales the volumes, have if the may then And got right?

Steve Cooper

I can don't Yes, think it continue.

think that sales the And great great I be the team we're we've fine play. not in that play at in got in, additional there. fine. we're are. just willing to Add these It's force clients, we'll some in that season here level early

Mark Marcon

on this projected how JobStack? the from would you PeopleReady, to quarter of the for that revenue attribute regards occurred much And Okay. to first the with a quarter lift that's JobStack, second in

Patrick Beharelle

mentioned better terms filling of with Well, call, heavy revenue in adopters successful QX about JobStack. JobStack, branches as that at as been we the positions seen that Mark, than look I on of the in have lift when the have points been three not we've earlier branches

don't they I the adopters. we that, that's otherwise to happening XXX lift heaviest got I we there's know QX. in lift clearly a that early Example, have that expanding have point lift think to incidences. you we've at I We've it's I sales QX JobStack, some lift don't believe for Derrek, be anything branches. prompt existing in at some this with said, but isolated attributing They're add JobStack but And base. don't our given QX us to think good tool in us, been skills point. and wouldn't client companies to has JobStack. have good us in with given in seen those we're specific ascribing this revenue should JobStack as So still if a days. some we've had specific

Derrek Gafford

right. that's Now,

we've bringing for our trends are As we our would on revenue that are everything the on is dealing of making guidance QX, and we're customer just customers, out assumption on as we trends to based seasonally off what look of itself considering based play supply workers, trend out here far as reactivating an got. ramp from new existing just to going that accounts up we it that

anything in QX incrementally guidance lift extra we metrics the quarter the So that second first had come in that what improved based more quarter we don't our have into JobStack quarter. put from would on in for versus

Mark Marcon

implemented And this - of branches point percentage at have to JobStack satisfaction? what are the your

Patrick Beharelle

Well, term. JobStack. of We've about are XX% a qualitative being the that got satisfaction over is filled through jobs branches one-fifth the

are really with pleased top we that XX%. So

of a upside JobStack. So we've a got We believe it's game-changer. on lot

to could those So branches, by of XX% We that XX% late out some like to the I we get those would year. end other the as other year to targets XX% put get north well. last

number. a we are I step think over that
