Recruitment firm Robert Half buoyed by “healthy” US jobs market
US recruitment firm Robert Half continued to grow in the fourth quarter of 2015, buoyed by the booming US jobs market and a better outlook in its international markets.
The firm, which has a UK office in the Shard, said net income rose 11.2 per cent to $93.4m (£64.8m) in the three months ended December 31, from $84m a year earlier.
This was on net service revenues rising 6.6 per cent to $1.3bn during this period, compared to $1.22bn in the last quarter of 2014.
Harold Messmer, chairman and chief executive of Robert Half, said: "Demand for our professional staffing and consulting services remained strong in the fourth quarter, fuelled by a healthy US job market and low unemployment in numerous professional occupations, as well as a more positive economic backdrop in many of our non-US markets."
"We saw year-over-year revenue growth across the board in our staffing and consulting operations, both in the United States and abroad."
