HireQuest Expands Internationally, Opening U.S. Market to UK Recruiters
GOOSE CREEK, SC, March 17, 2025 (EZ Newswire) -- HireQuest (NASDAQ: HQI), a global leader in staffing and recruiting, is eliminating international hiring barriers with the launch of HireQuest International—a new division that provides UK-based recruitment firms with direct access to the U.S. market.
This initiative is a joint effort between HireQuest and HQR International Limited—led by experienced industry leaders Stephen Sweeney and Mike Ryall along with HireQuest franchise owners under the HireQuest umbrella. By leveraging HireQuest's established infrastructure, technology, and extensive client network, UK recruitment firms can now enter the world's largest hiring market with minimal risk and cost.
'This isn't just an expansion—it's a game-changer for UK recruiters,' said Rick Hermanns, CEO of HireQuest. 'The U.S. labor market presents massive opportunities, but navigating its complexities can be daunting. With our proven platform, we eliminate those obstacles—allowing UK firms to place talent in the U.S. immediately, with full operational support.'
With the global recruitment industry projected to grow significantly, the launch of HireQuest International comes at a pivotal time. The $212 billion U.S. staffing market faces ongoing talent shortages in key industries such as healthcare, finance, and technology—creating a demand surge that UK recruiters can now capitalize on without the usual barriers to entry.
Both Stephen Sweeney and Mike Ryall, Managing Partners of HireQuest International, shared their enthusiasm for the venture: 'The U.S. market presents a massive opportunity for UK recruiters, but navigating the complexities can be a challenge. HireQuest International removes those obstacles—allowing firms to focus on what they do best: placing top talent. We look forward to welcoming UK recruitment businesses ready to take their growth to the next level.' In addition they commented, 'This is more than just access—it's a strategic advantage. By partnering with HireQuest, UK recruiters gain a ready-made infrastructure and client base in the U.S., removing the usual barriers to expansion. We're excited to help firms unlock their full potential on a global scale.'

Mag 7 Plans to 'FOMO' Into $650B Tech Investment Despite Trump's U.S. Manufacturing Push
While President Donald Trump's tariff war aims to spark a manufacturing boom at home, corporate America's spending focus remains firmly on "bits" rather than "bricks and mortar." This contrast is evident in the spending patterns of the Magnificent 7 (Mag 7) stocks – a group comprising large-cap tech companies, including Alphabet (parent company of Google), Amazon, Apple, Meta Platforms (parent company of Facebook and Instagram), Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla. These firms are expected to cumulatively spend an astonishing $650 billion this year on capital expenditure (capex) and research and development (R&D), according to data tracked by Lloyds Bank. That amount is larger than what the U.K. government spends on public investments in a year, the bank noted in a Thursday note. If that number alone doesn't impress you, consider this: the total economy-wide investment spending on IT equipment and software has continued to surge this year, accounting for 6.1% of GDP, while both private fixed and fixed non-residential investment, excluding IT, have shrunk for consecutive quarters. FOMO and AI According to Lloyds' FX Strategist Nicholas Kennedy, the decline in investments across other sectors of the economy could be due to several reasons, including the fear of missing out (FOMO) on the artificial intelligence (AI) boom. "There might be some explanations other than a crowding out by IT spending and political/trade uncertainties that you could call on; the building boom that was triggered by Biden's CHIPS act, which boosted structures, has faded, for instance. There is also a FOMO effect at work, firms encouraged to divert investment resources from what they traditionally do towards fashionable AI-related projects. So they're just spending elsewhere," Kennedy said in a note to clients. The chart indicates that U.S. corporate spending on IT equipment and software has increased to $1.45 trillion, representing a 13.6% year-over-year rise. The tally makes up over 40% of the total U.S. private fixed investment. The U.S. second-quarter GDP estimate, released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis early this week, showed that private fixed investment in IT increased by 12.4% quarter-on-quarter. Meanwhile, investment in non-IT sectors or the broader economy fell by 4.9%, extending the three-quarter declining trend. From 'bricks' to 'bits' This continued dominance of "bits" spending in corporate America should calm the nerves of those worried that the administration's focus on manufacturing may suck capital away from technology markets, including emerging avenues like cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin and NVDA, the bellwether for all things AI, both bottomed out in late November 2022 with the launch of ChatGPT and have since enjoyed incredible bull runs, demonstrating a powerful correlation between technology's rise and the crypto market. "Whether that [AI spending boom] generates a return is another matter, but it does reshape plans towards bits from bricks," Kennedy said. Moreover, the crypto market has also found a significant tailwind in the form of a favourable regulatory policy under Trump. The administration has demonstrated its pro-crypto bias through the signing of several key pieces of legislation aimed at clarifying regulatory oversight for digital assets and stablecoins, including measures that have garnered bipartisan support. Additionally, the administration has made strategic appointments to financial regulatory bodies.

Apple crushes earnings expectations, but stays mum on a major asset
Apple crushes earnings expectations, but stays mum on a major asset originally appeared on TheStreet. Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) reported its third-quarter earnings on July 31, beating Wall Street expectations on almost every front — from profit and revenue to iPhone sales and gross margins. The tech giant posted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.57, well above the expected $1.43, and $94.04 billion in revenue, exceeding forecasts of $89.53 billion. This marks Apple's largest quarterly revenue growth since December 2021. 'It was an exceptional quarter by any measure,' said CEO Tim Cook, speaking to CNBC after the report dropped. Apple's most important business — the iPhone — led the charge. iPhone revenue surged 13% year-over-year to $44.58 billion, boosted in part by strong sales of the iPhone 16, which Cook said saw 'strong double-digit' growth over its predecessor. Investors are keeping an eye on the tech behemoth for another reported addition. A new Fortune report revealed that Apple is in early discussions with fellow tech giants Airbnb and Google to introduce stablecoins, aiming to bring them into the mainstream for facilitating cross-border payments and reducing trading costs. Stablecoins could enable Apple to maximize transaction fees around the world, sources say — an indication that the technology company is making bigger moves into digital finance. Analysts, however, are not expecting a huge revenue boost, as Trump has threatened a 25% tax on iPhones unless they are made in the US, resulting in margin pressure on quarter three and quarter also has uncertainty around its $20 billion-per-year agreement with Google, which is at risk as a judge considers how to rule in the DOJ's antitrust case, as per reports. Reports also mention analysts like BofA's Wamsi Mohan say the attention will be on margin performance and iPhone revenue, which they see rising slightly to $39.8 billion. While Apple has not directly entered the crypto industry, it has eased up previous restrictions on crypto applications. Further, as of May, Apple Pay also supports stablecoin transactions with payment service provider, Mesh. The integration allows consumers to spend USDC and USDT at checkout and convert them to fiat in real-time.
