Gary Burnison: Well, that’s — look, Mark, that’s a very difficult question. I think China is a huge wildcard. That was a third of the world’s manufacturing. The war in Ukraine is another big wildcard. And the impact on energy in EMEA with respect to that war is hard to predict. In the Middle East, how they’re cutting oil production is another one. I mean, those are really big variables to try to guess. I — my baseline is that we’re in this now for some quarters that there’s a huge reset happening, companies are going to have to optimize and reorganize and transform to adjust to this new reality. There is tremendous demographic shortages. I mean, you go out long term in the United States and what you’d find is that for every person that’s over 65, there’s only going to be one person working, whereas today, it’s kind of 2:1.
I mean, that’s definitely eye-opening. And so, it’s really — those are huge wildcards. And I would only say that if you look at the last few months, it certainly would appear that executive search and pro search are running about on a plateau basis. And consulting and digital have done very well, and we’ve got this huge opportunity around interim that’s not going to go away.
Operator: Your next question comes from the line of Trevor Romeo. Please go ahead.
Trevor Romeo: Hi. Thanks so much for taking the questions. Hopefully, you can hear me. I’ve been having some connection issues. So I apologize if I missed any of this already. But I just kind of wanted to ask about — on the guidance, I was wondering if you could maybe kind of break down your expectations for each segment. I think your normal seasonality would kind of indicate an uptick sequentially in Q2. So just wondering if maybe any of the segments would be further off the normal seasonal patterns than others.
Gary Burnison: Bob, I’ll let you do that.
Bob Rozek: Sure. So I think, Trevor, as Gary indicated, we’re seeing the perm placement exec search and pro search sort of plateauing at this point. So, as we think about the guidance, we’re thinking about from a quarter sequential basis kind of flattish for each of those businesses. On the consulting side, Q2 is normally an up quarter for us, and we’re looking at that as being slightly up from Q1. Same thing with digital, slightly up from — I think again, I’m talking sequentially up from the first quarter. And then, on the interim side, that business as well as being slightly flat to maybe down a little bit as we think about what’s going on with the IT vertical. But when you look at the midpoint of the guidance, it would suggest that we’re kind of flat with, again, the perm placement portion plateauing, consulting being up a bit, digital up a bit and then interim down a little bit.
Trevor Romeo: Okay, great. That was helpful. Thanks. And then just on the consulting segment, it was nice to see the solid performance in the quarter and some positive new business trends. I’m just kind of wondering if you could maybe talk about each of the business areas within consulting, kind of what’s driving the performance there and the reception among clients?
Gary Burnison: I think we’ve got — number one, I think it’s the environment in terms of companies that are having to adapt to this reset that I’ve talked about. That’s definitely a big part of it, whether it’s governments, whether it’s the infrastructure act in the — here in the United States, that’s clearly a megatrend that’s driving the consulting engagements we see. We’re seeing more and more integrated consulting engagements, not just assessment of succession, but actually across the entire solution side. I think we have an enormous opportunity around rewards, compensation and benefits, both on consulting and digital. The data that we have is just so robust and the opportunity to monetize that data, we have comped out on 30 million people around the world, 30,000 companies.
