Barrett Business Services also reports strong Q4 2022 numbers
The NASDAQ-listed Barrett Business services reported an 8.8% y-o-y growth for Q4 in its PEO business. Staffing had a negative growth of -6%. Since staffing accounted for less than 10% of the overall revenues, it did not matter that much.

GoGlobal EOR / PEO opens in Ukraine
This news piece came in through a PR network. Nevertheless, it is very happy news. For the war-torn country, GoGlobal launching operations in Ukraine is one more step in helping Ukraine’s talent-finding market across the world.
If you did not know Ukraine is one of the leading exporters of goods and services to the world. The war impaired existing weak global supply chains. We see these signs all around us. High inflation, increasing interest rates, layoffs, and poor business conditions. This step by Goglobal will be a small step in the right direction.

Key Risk prepares to capitalize on PEO industry growth
A few weeks ago this column wrote about 1st commercial credit’s diversification into the EOR / PEO business. Today, we have another interesting development to grow capacity in the fast-growing EOR PEO industry. This time, it isn’t diversification. But, a partnership focused on technology and processes will increase the capacity of Key Risk – a workers’ compensation insurance service provider – to service the PEO industry.
Key Risk is partnering with MIS, a ReSourePro Company. MIS will bring its solid back office technology to the strong underwriting and risk management capabilities Key Risk has. This will allow Key Risk to service enterprise-level complexities with large PEOs.
Here is the news we picked up.
We expect players across sectors to explore such collaborations to boost capacity.
