On October 5, 2023, Diamond in the Bramble Recruiting Group Inc's board of directors decided to dispose of the Blue Division. A formal plan was approved. Diamond derives approximately 70% of its income from its human resources management practice. The Blue Division gets contracts to perform human resources management on an outsourced basis.
