(5) BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The  Company classifies its business into two fundamental areas, staffing
and  executive search.  Staffing consists of the placement and payrolling
of  temporary  and permanent office, clerical and information  technology
professional  personnel.  Executive search focuses on placing  middle  to
upper  level  management  positions.  The Company  evaluates  performance
based   on  the  segments'  profit  from  operations  before  unallocated
corporate overhead.

                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
              FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

Overview

The  results  for  the third quarter reflect a very difficult  recruiting
environment both in information technology and in the high-end  executive
search  practice  and not a reduction in the demand for  these  types  of
services.  The traditional clerical staffing business posted solid growth
during  the  third  quarter.  The softness in the information  technology
business  is  due  primarily to the very limited  supply  of  information
technology professionals with web-based applications experience.  In July
2000,  the  Company  announced the signing of a  contract  with  Shanghai
Foreign  Service  Company  Ltd.,  ("FSCO")  to  be  the  exclusive  agent
representing   information  technology  consultants  from  the   People's
Republic  of  China to work in the United States.  The  Company  believes
that  this  could potentially have a significant impact on the  Company's
ability to solve the supply issue for its clients.

The  executive  search  segment was softer than  expected  in  the  third
quarter  as  more  candidates  than usual received  extremely  aggressive
counter  offers from current employers.  In addition, the merger activity
in the financial services industry during the third quarter resulted in a
temporary  slowdown  as  the industry sorted  out  the  impact  of  these
mergers.   The  Company believes that it could benefit  from  the  merger
activity as it could create additional supply of qualified candidates.

Consolidated

Revenues increased $1,449,000 or 1.6% to $91,678,000 for the three months
ended  September 30, 2000, from $90,229,000 for the same period in  1999.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, revenues were $284,648,000,
an  increase  of 3.5% from $275,055,000 a year earlier.  These  increases
are  attributable  to the executive search acquisition completed  in  the
latter  part  of 1999, as well as internal growth. The only area  of  the
Company's  business  that  did  not  experience  growth  was  information
technology staffing for which the demand for qualified candidates is much
greater than the supply.

The   executive  search  subsidiary,  Whitney  Partners,  LLC  (Whitney),
contributed $8,363,000 to consolidated revenues in the third  quarter  of
2000,  an  increase of $1,909,000 from $6,454,000 for the same period  in
1999.   For  the  nine months ended September 30, 2000, Whitney  revenues
were  $29,047,000, an increase of 37% from $21,160,000  a  year  earlier.
This increase is attributable to the Tyzack acquisition completed in  the
latter  part of 1999, very strong performance from the Company's existing
executive  search  practice  in the United Kingdom,  and  growth  in  the
Company's e-commerce executive search practice in Chicago.

The staffing subsidiary, Headway Corporate Staffing Services, Inc. (HCSS)
contributed revenues of $83,315,000 to consolidated revenues in the third
quarter  of 2000, a decrease of $460,000 from $83,775,000 for  the  third
quarter  of  1999.  For the nine months ended September  30,  2000,  HCSS
revenues were $255,601,000, an increase of 0.7% from $253,895,000 a  year
earlier.  Revenues  were only slightly ahead of 1999,  as  the  very  low
supply of information technology staffing candidates has resulted in  the
Company's  inability to meet its clients' demand.  This  is  an  industry
wide issue.

Total  operating  expenses increased $2,428,000 to  $88,004,000  for  the
three  months  ended September 30, 2000, from $85,576,000  for  the  same
period  in  1999.  For the three months ended September 30, direct  costs
decreased  as  a percentage of revenues to 74.1% in 2000  from  75.4%  in
1999.   For  the nine months, operating expenses increased $8,187,000  to
$270,789,000 from $262,602,000 for the same period in 1999.  For the nine
months,  direct costs decreased as a percentage of revenues to  73.2%  in
2000 from 75.9% in 1999.  The decrease in direct costs as a percentage of
revenues   is   a   result  of  the  Company's  changing  business   mix.
Specifically, the executive search

                                   10

business that has no direct costs is becoming a larger percentage of  the
Company's  total  revenues.   In addition,  the  Company  experienced  an
increase  in  the demand for permanent employees from its clients,  which
also  has  no direct costs.  Selling, general and administrative expenses
for  the  three  months ended September 30, 2000 increased $2,356,000  to
$18,689,000 from $16,333,000 for the same period in 1999.  For  the  nine
months,   selling,   general   and  administrative   expenses   increased
$10,332,000  to  $58,528,000 from $48,196,000 in 1999.  The  increase  is
primarily  attributed to the Tyzack acquisition completed  in  the  later
part of 1999 as well as higher commission expenses associated with higher
revenues generated from permanent placements.

Direct costs for HCSS increased slightly as a percentage of HCSS revenues
to  81.6%  for the three months ended September 30, 2000, from 81.3%  for
the  same  period in 1999.  For the nine months, direct  costs  for  HCSS
declined  as a percentage of HCSS revenue to 81.5% from 82.3% last  year.
The nine-month decrease in direct costs, as a percentage of revenues is a
result  of the Company's mix of business, which was more heavily weighted
toward the higher margin permanent placements.

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased as  a
percentage of revenues from 18.1% in the third quarter 1999 to  20.4%  in
the  third  quarter  2000.   For the nine months,  consolidated  selling,
general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of revenues
from  17.5%  in 1999 to 20.6% in 2000.  The increase in selling,  general
and  administrative  expenses is primarily  attributable  to  the  higher
commission  expense  associated  with  higher  revenues  generated   from
permanent placements.

Included in operating expenses for the first quarter of 1999 is a special
charge  of  $2,329,000  paid in connection with  the  termination  of  an
employment agreement.

Whitney's   selling,   general  and  administrative  expenses   increased
$2,129,000  to  $6,756,000 in the third quarter of 2000, from  $4,627,000
for  the  same period last year.  For the nine months of 2000,  Whitney's
selling,  general  and  administrative expenses increased  $6,564,000  to
$21,419,000 in 2000 as compared to $14,855,000 in 1999.  This increase is
primarily a result of higher compensation expense directly related to the
increase in revenue, as well as the operating expenses of Tyzack that was
acquired in the latter part of 1999.

Operating  income decreased $979,000 to $3,674,000 for the  three  months
ended  September  30, 2000, compared to $4,653,000 for the  three  months
ended September 30, 1999.  For the nine month period ended September  30,
2000  operating  income  increased 11.3%  or  $1,406,000  to  $13,859,000
compared  to $12,453,000 for the comparable period in 1999.  Included  in
the  1999  nine  month  operating income is  the  $2,329,000  termination
payment  paid  in  the first quarter.  Excluding this payment,  operating
income  decreased $923,000 for the nine months ended September 30,  2000,
compared to the same period in 1999.

Net  income  decreased $907,000 to $870,000 for the  three  months  ended
September 30, 2000, compared to $1,777,000 for the same period  in  1999.
Net  income  decreased $19,000 to $4,491,000 for the  nine  months  ended
September 30, 2000, compared to $4,510,000 for the same period  in  1999.
This  decrease includes the termination payment in the first  quarter  of
1999,  which had an after tax effect of $1,351,000.  Excluding this item,
net  income  decreased  23.4% to $4,491,000 for  the  nine  months  ended
September 30, 2000, compared to $5,861,000 for the same period  in  1999.
The decrease in net income was attributable to higher interest expense as
a result of the increase in debt and higher interest rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash  provided  by operations during the nine months ended September  30,
2000  was  $4,737,000  compared  with  cash  provided  by  operations  of
$6,174,000 for the comparable period in 1999.  The cash provided in  2000
was  primarily  attributable to an increase in accounts payable,  accrued
payroll,  income taxes payable and depreciation and amortization,  offset
by an increase in accounts receivable.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company used $6,567,000
in investing activities compared to

                                   11
<PAGE>

$10,884,000  for  the same period in 1999.  The cash used  for  investing
activities  in  2000  and  in  1999 related  primarily  to  payments  for
acquisitions  completed during 1997, 1998 and 1999  as  well  as  capital
expenditures.

Total  net cash provided from financing activities was $261,000  for  the
nine  months  ended September 30, 2000, compared to net cash provided  by
financing activities of $1,116,000 for the same period in 1999.  The cash
generated  in  2000  was  a  result of additional  borrowings  under  the
Company's  senior credit facility offset by repayments of notes payables,
capital  lease obligations, payments for loan acquisition fees  and  cash
dividends.  The  cash  generated  in 1999  was  a  result  of  additional
borrowings  under the Company's senior credit facility and proceeds  from
the  exercise  of options and warrants, offset by purchases  of  treasury
stock,  repayments of notes payables, capital lease obligations and  cash
dividends.

The  Company's  working capital improved to $30,824,000 at September  30,
2000, from $30,566,000 at December 31, 1999.  Management expects that the
Company's working capital position will be sufficient to meet all of  the
working  capital  needs for the remainder of the year.  In  addition,  at
September  30, 2000, the Company had approximately $19,000,000  available
under its senior credit facility.

Year 2000 Compliance

In prior years, Headway discussed the nature of its plans related to Year
2000  compliance.   As  a  result  of  those  planning  efforts,  Headway
experienced  no  significant disruptions in mission critical  information
technology  and  non-information technology systems  and  believes  those
systems  successfully responded to the Year 2000 date change.  The  costs
associated with Year 2000 compliance were nominal.  Headway is not  aware
of  any  material  problems  resulting from Year  2000  issues  with  its
internal systems or the services of third parties.  Headway will continue
to  monitor its mission critical computer applications and those  of  its
supplier  and vendors throughout the year to ensure that any latent  Year
2000 matters that may arise are addressed properly.
