Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On September 21, 2021, the Company posted an investor presentation (the “Investor Presentation”) to its website (www.hirequest.com) under “Invest - Presentations and Events – September 2021 Investor Presentation.” The information on the Company’s website is not incorporated by reference into this Current Report on Form 8-K and should not be considered part of this document. The website address is included in this Current Report on Form 8-K as an inactive textual reference only.

A copy of the Investor Presentation is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The Company expects to use the Investor Presentation, in whole or in part, and possibly with modifications, in connection with presentations to investors, brokers, analysts, and others.

The Investor Presentation includes financial information not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“Non-GAAP Financial Measures”). A reconciliation of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures to financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), as required by Regulation G, appears at the end of the presentation. The Company is providing disclosure of the reconciliation of reported Non-GAAP Financial Measures used in the Investor Presentation, among other places, to its comparable financial measures on a GAAP basis. The Company believes that the Non-GAAP Financial Measures provide investors additional ways to view the Company’s operations, when considered with both the GAAP results and the reconciliation to non-GAAP financial information, which the Company believes provide a more complete understanding of the business than could be obtained absent this disclosure.

The information in this Item 7.01 and in Exhibit 99.1 is summary information that is intended to be viewed in the context of the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings and other public announcements that the Company may make, by press release or otherwise, from time to time. The Company undertakes no duty or obligation to publicly update or revise the information contained in the Investor Presentation, except as required by law. Any such updating may be made through the filing of other reports or documents with the SEC, through press releases, or through other disclosure.

The information included in this Current Report on Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1 hereto) is furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), nor shall it be deemed subject to the requirements of amended Item 10 of Regulation S-K. In addition, the information included in this Current Report on Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1 hereto) shall not be deemed to have been incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, unless expressly incorporated by specific reference into such filing. The furnishing of this information hereby shall not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of such information.

The information in this report and in Exhibit 99.1 hereto may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements, other than statements of historical or current fact, are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements relating to future results, the integration of the Snelling and Link acquisitions, or our declaration of quarterly dividends. Forward-looking statements are based on the current beliefs, assumptions, and expectations of management and current market conditions. Actual results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of the Company’s control.
