SNOOPY
We have been told that "The demand for recruitment talent has had some impact on the Madison business with pressure of competition for current and future talent by growing internal recruitment teams. This has softened the Madison result." This suggests to me that finding 3,500 - 4,000 was more challenging that anticipated. Meaning greater staff overhead and reduced margin due to higher wages of census workers. Those big contracts always run on slim margins and tend to distract from core business. I wouldn't necessarily call it a "benefit"
