Staffline's 'excellent' start to 2026 supported by 'healthy' pipeline

Staffline Group PLC on Monday said it remains confident full-year results will be in line with management expectations, despite ‘the ongoing challenging macro-economic backdrop.’

The Nottingham, England-based flexible staff recruiter in the UK and Ireland said the strong operational and financial momentum experienced during 2025 has continued into 2026.

Gross profit is 15% higher in the first four months of 2026, than a year ago, underpinned by a 9.1% year-on-year uplift in temporary worker hours in Recruitment GB, reflecting sustained demand for both temporary and agency recruitment.

Recruitment Ireland also reported a strong start to 2026, supported by a combination of an increase in temporary hours, alongside ‘buoyant’ permanent recruitment activity.

‘This excellent operational performance is underpinned by a healthy new business pipeline, driven by organic growth and market share gains,’ Staffline said.

Shares in Staffline jumped 7.8% to 39.90 pence each in London on Monday morning.
