Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]  
Disposition Disposition
On January 2, 2024, the Company completed the sale of its EMEA staffing operations ("disposal group"), which was included in the Company's International operating segment, to Gi Group Holdings S.P.A. ("Gi"). Upon closing, the Company received cash proceeds of $110.6 million, or $77.1 million net of cash disposed, which is included in investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The total gain on the transaction as of the first quarter-end 2024 is $11.6 million, which is recorded in the gain on sale of EMEA staffing operations in the consolidated statements of earnings. The Company expects to receive additional cash proceeds to reflect the cash-free, debt-free transaction basis, as well as working capital and other adjustments. The Company does not expect to receive any proceeds from the contingent consideration opportunity associated with the transaction. Included in the gain as of first-quarter end 2024, the Company has recorded a euro-denominated receivable from Gi of $26.9 million representing the adjustments that are determinable and is expected to be received in the third quarter of 2024. The receivable is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

The disposal group did not meet the requirements to be classified as discontinued operations as the sale did not have a material effect on the Company's operations and did not represent a strategic shift in the Company's strategy. Our consolidated earnings from operations for the first quarter of 2023 included a loss of $1.3 million from the EMEA staffing operations.
