By Elias Schisgall

HireQuest's board of directors has authorized a $20 million stock-buyback program.

The Goose Creek, S.C., staffing-services company said Wednesday that it intends to begin the one-year program as soon as possible, calling it the most efficient use of its capital.

"Repurchasing shares of our common stock on the open market reflects our commitment to prudent capital management and deployment, and reinforces the confidence that the Board and management team have in HireQuest's long-term strategy while simultaneously returning capital to our shareholders," HireQuest Chief Executive Officer Rick Hermanns said.
