Business Segments

The Company has three reportable segments: contract talent solutions, permanent placement talent solutions, and Protiviti. Operating segments are defined as components of the Company for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The contract talent solutions and permanent placement talent solutions segments provide specialized engagement professionals and full-time personnel, respectively, for finance and accounting, technology, marketing and creative, legal, administrative and customer support, and executive searches. The Protiviti segment provides internal audit, risk, business, and technology consulting solutions.

The accounting policies of the segments are set forth in Note A—“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company evaluates performance based on income before intangible assets amortization expense, net interest income, and income taxes.

The following table provides a reconciliation of service revenues and segment income by reportable segment to consolidated results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):
