For 2018, we delivered revenue and gross profit growth while also focusing on carving out the RPO business from legacy entities and right-sizing the new company by reducing corporate costs. I am proud of how hard the team has worked over the past year to build the systems and infrastructure necessary for a successful separation from the legacy businesses."
