COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Consulting, Employment, and Non-compete Agreements
The Company has entered into various consulting and employment agreements with certain key members of management. These agreements generally (i) are one year in length, (ii) contain restrictive covenants, (iii) under certain circumstances, provide for compensation and, subject to providing the Company with a release, severance payments, and (iv) are automatically renewed annually unless either party gives sufficient notice of termination.
Litigation and Complaints 
The Company is subject, from time to time, to various claims, lawsuits, contracts disputes, and other complaints from, for example, clients, candidates, suppliers, landlords for both leased and subleased properties, former and current employees, and regulators or tax authorities arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company routinely monitors claims such as these, and records provisions for losses when the claim becomes probable and the amount due is estimable. Although the outcome of these claims cannot be determined, the Company believes that the final resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
For matters that have reached the threshold of probable and estimable, the Company has established reserves for legal, regulatory, and other contingent liabilities. The legal reserves are included under the caption "Other non-current liabilities" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company had no reserves as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
Departure of Certain Employees

As previously disclosed on July 6, 2018, the Company and David F. Kirby, the Company’s Senior Vice President, Treasury and Investor Relations, determined that Mr. Kirby would leave his positions with the Company effective July 27, 2018. In addition, the Company terminated the employment of its Corporate Counsel and Corporate Secretary effective June 29, 2018. As a result, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 the Company recognized severance expense of $601 for the two corporate employees classified within salaries and related expense in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

As previously disclosed, on April 1, 2018, Stephen A. Nolan gave notice to the Company's Board of Directors of his resignation as Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company effective as of April 1, 2018. On April 1, 2018, following the resignation of Mr. Nolan, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Jeffrey E. Eberwein, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, as Chief Executive Officer, and Richard K. Coleman, Jr., a director of the Company, as the Chairman of the Board of Directors. As a result, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 the Company recognized additional compensation expense of $0 and $2,024, respectively to its former Chief Executive Officer classified within salaries and related expense in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
