The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Monthly order intake under the early fixed-fee model declined year on year, but cumulative order intake was substantially above the previous year. Under the success-fee model, the number of placements in May exceeded the previous year, but both monthly and cumulative order intake fell below the previous year because many of the placements represented the use of agreed hiring slots under early fixed-fee plans. The increase in offers sent was attributed to the rise in the number of active companies.
