(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  Company had strong financial performance for the first quarter  of  2000
achieving record revenues and operating income. The executive search  segment
exhibited  strong growth due to the continued demand for high level personnel
in the financial services industry.  The staffing business started off slowly
in  the  area  of  information technology as expected due to  the  Year  2000
transition  but  has  begun to pick up in the second  quarter.   The  Company
expects this trend to continue as long as there is no drastic change  in  the
economy  or the financial services industry. The Company expects to  continue
to grow both internally and through acquisitions.

Consolidated

Revenues increased $3,662,000 or 4% to $96,315,000 for the three months ended
March  31, 2000, from $92,653,000 for the same period in 1999.  The  increase
was  attributable to the executive search acquisition completed in the latter
part  of  1999  as  well as strong internal growth from the executive  search
segment.

The executive search subsidiary, Whitney Partners, LLC (Whitney), contributed
$11,388,000  to  consolidated  revenues in the  first  quarter  of  2000,  an
increase  of  $2,695,000 from $8,693,000 for the same period  in  1999.  This
increase  is attributable to the Tyzack acquisition completed in  the  latter
part of 1999, as well as internal growth.

The  staffing  subsidiary, Headway Corporate Staffing Services,  Inc.  (HCSS)
contributed  revenues of $84,927,000 to consolidated revenues  in  the  first
quarter  of 2000, an increase of $967,000 from $83,960,000 for first  quarter
of  1999.   Revenues  were  only slightly ahead of 1999  as  the  information
technology  staffing business has not come back to the level that  it  was  a
year  ago.   With  the  Year 2000 transition completed,  it  is  management's
expectation  that  the  demand  for information technology  specialists  will
increase significantly.

Total  operating expenses increased $1,264,000 to $91,317,000 for  the  three
months  ended March 31, 2000, from $90,053,000 for the same period  in  1999.
Direct  costs  decreased as a percentage of revenues to 72.6%  in  2000  from
75.3%  in  1999.   The  decrease is a result of the Company's  business  mix.
Specifically,  the  executive search business that has no  direct  costs  has
grown  versus  the  first quarter of 1999 while the staffing  companies  have
remained  relatively  flat.  Direct costs for HCSS  declined  slightly  as  a
percentage  of  HCSS revenue to 82.3% for the three months  ended  March  31,
2000,  from  83.1%  for  the  same  period in  1999.   Selling,  general  and
administrative expenses increased as a percentage of revenues from  18.3%  in
first  quarter  1999  to 20.9% in first quarter 2000.  The  increase  relates
primarily  to higher compensation expense related to the growth  in  revenues
from executive search.

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

                                 11
<PAGE>


Whitney's operating expenses increased $1,902,000 to $7,962,000 in the  first
quarter  of  2000,  from  $6,060,000 for the same  period  last  year.   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  increased 92% or $2,398,000 to $4,998,000  for  the  three
months  ended  March 31, 2000, compared to $2,600,000 for  the  three  months
ended  March  31, 1999.  The increase is primarily related to the  $2,329,000
termination  payment made in 1999.  Excluding this payment, operating  income
increased  1.4%  to  $4,998,000 for the three months ended  March  31,  2000,
compared to $4,929,000 for the same period in 1999.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash  used  in  operations during the three months ended March 31,  2000  was
$7,334,000.  The cash used in 2000 was primarily attributable to an  increase
in  accounts  receivable,  partially offset by an increase  in  income  taxes
payable.

For  the  three  months ended March 31, 2000, the Company used $2,039,000  in
investing activities almost exclusively for earnout payments for acquisitions
completed  during  1997 and 1998 and capital expenditures. This  compares  to
cash  used in investing activities of $1,899,000 for the same period in 1999.
The  cash  used  for investing activities in 1999 also related  primarily  to
earnout  payments for acquisitions completed during 1997 and 1998 as well  as
capital expenditures.

Total  net  cash  received from financing activities was $8,925,000  for  the
three months ended March 31, 2000, compared to net cash provided by financing
activities of $5,477,000 for the same period in 1999.  The cash generated  in
2000  was a result of additional borrowings under the Company's senior credit
facility.

The Company's working capital improved to $41,298,000 at March 31, 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 March 31, 2000,
the  Company had approximately $27 million available under its senior  credit
facility.

Impact of Year 2000

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 was 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.
