We are also particularly pleased with the 16.5% sequential and 18.1% year-over-year increase in FA Flex as we continue to leverage our National Recruiting Center (NRC) and Strategic Accounts groups to capture revenue opportunities. We continue to perform well in permanent placement with an increase in revenues of 7.0% sequentially and 61.2% over the third quarter of 2009, which we believe reflects our clients rebuilding core staff after significant reductions. We believe our diverse portfolio of service offerings and flexible delivery platform has positioned Kforce for success and, we believe, will allow us to continue to take advantage of the improving climate for professional staffing," said David L.
