MagicFormula pick. I'm going against the CAPS rating here. Once the economies pick up, profits will too. Buy@28.50 and check in a year.

Basically same pitch as I have for KFY...

HSII belongs to an interesting segment of market because weighing scale of staffing stocks is the same as beauty contest.
If stock market is going down because of fears of recession, the same fear is pervading through board rooms and office cubes across the country.
As a boss, fear of recession makes me less likely to hire someone for my pet project.
Also, it makes me less likely to leave the company because they changed the coffee in kitchen.
Key thing to see here is there need not be a recession for this to happen, just the fear of it is enough.

And staffing stocks will take the brunt till the fear goes away, unless they get ridiculously cheap. P/E of 9 in this environment is not cheap; enticing but not cheap.

This is a staffing company in the middle of a job pullback. After the announcing today of a 4000 job loss, I don't see them outperforming in the near future. There simply isn't the demand for recruiting companies when jobs are being cut.
