Top Reasons to Build Your Career at Robert Half

Article

Whether you’re thinking about changing jobs or pursuing an entirely new career path, we’d like to suggest that you consider exploring potential job opportunities at Robert Half.

Robert Half is the world’s first and largest specialized talent solutions and business consulting firm. We’ve been around for a long time—more than 75 years—and we’ve seen a lot of change over those decades. One constant has been our focus on helping people connect with work they find fulfilling and makes the best use of their skills and interests. That includes the people we hire for our own team.

Here are just five of many reasons to consider building your career at Robert Half—and why now is a great time to do so:

1. Possibility

At Robert Half, there are no limits to where hard work and talent can take your career. We strive to help all people within our company find their professional path and grow their skills and expertise by providing innovative projects and creating an engaging, supportive and inclusive work environment.

We give our employees the tools they need to succeed. With advanced technology and world-class training and skills development resources—including our library of thousands of online training courses, videos and books covering a wide variety of business and technical skills—our team members can learn continuously throughout their careers at our company.

It’s not uncommon to find professionals working at Robert Half who have been with our company for 10, 15, 20 years—or even longer. Many of these individuals have forged their own career path through different roles in our organization, and they work in locations across the globe.

Creating a workplace experience that allows us to attract and retain standout talent requires us to listen closely and frequently to what our employees have to say about that experience. That’s why we survey our employees regularly on various topics, including collaboration, manager support and organizational culture.

We have high participation rates for these surveys and formal processes in place to respond to employee feedback and put it into action so we can keep growing and improving as a company.

2. Opportunity and purpose

Whether you’re on our talent solutions team or corporate team at Robert Half, your work will change lives. You can help job seekers find their next great opportunity. You can help companies find the talent they need to fulfill their missions. Or you may be able to do both.

Another way we work to change lives, as a company, is by doubling the impact of our employees’ volunteering and charitable efforts. (You can get details on how we do that here.)

Through these initiatives and others, including our Holiday Giving program and Season of Service, we’re helping our employees drive positive change in their local communities and support causes they care deeply about. We believe these efforts give our employees even more reason to feel proud to be part of the Robert Half team.

3. Stability and innovation

Sure, Robert Half has been around for a while (since 1948, to be exact), but that doesn’t mean we’re a company stuck in the past. Our teams are innovative and always prepared to tackle new challenges in today’s rapidly evolving business world, making us one of the best talent solutions providers out there.

But don’t just take our word for it. Consider, for example, that in April 2024, Robert Half was named to Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For® list. Protiviti, our global internal audit and consulting subsidiary, is included on the list. To determine the ranking, Great Place To Work® analyzed anonymous survey responses from more than 1.3 million employees from Great Place To Work Certified™ companies with at least 1,000 U.S. employees.

Each company is rated based on their employees’ perspectives on trust, ability to reach their full human potential, company innovation and values, and effectiveness of their leaders. The survey also explored how employees’ experiences varied based on their job role, gender, race and ethnicity, payroll status, and other characteristics to gauge companies’ success in building and sustaining an inclusive workplace.

Additionally, in October 2024, we learned that Forbes had again named Robert Half one of the World’s Best Employers. This is Forbes’ most prestigious global employer accolade. The annual list is based on an independent survey of nearly 170,000 employees in 55 countries. Respondents rate their employers in various areas, including image, trust, gender equality, corporate social responsibility, corporate culture and benefits.

4. Flexibility

Whether you’re in San Francisco, London or Tokyo, Robert Half likely has an office in your local area—or an area you’ve had your eye on for a while. With more than 300 office locations in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Asia-Pacific, Robert Half touches the careers of professionals and businesses around the world.

Also, as noted earlier, many of our employees move around within our company, and, when possible, we’re happy to help them relocate for their next big opportunity. And, depending on their role and location, our team members may have the flexibility to work remotely or maintain hybrid work schedules.

5. Inclusion

Inclusion isn’t a word we take lightly at Robert Half. In fact, it is one of our core values. And, as we explain in our latest environmental, social and governance report, “Robert Half’s enterprise values serve as the cornerstone of everything we do. These values are embedded in our organizational culture and reflect who we are and how we connect and flourish as individuals, as teams, and as an enterprise.”

As a recruiting firm rooted in a more than 75-year history of putting ethics first, we have built strong programs to promote inclusion in the workplace. Our founder, Bob Half, was dedicated to the idea of equal employment from the very start, lobbying against discriminatory hiring policies prevalent in the staffing industry at the time.

Our vision at Robert Half is to develop a corporate culture where all people can connect, thrive and grow. As a global organization, we recognize the importance of having a variety of backgrounds, perspectives and experiences represented throughout the company. This includes people of different ethnicities, races, religions, genders, sexual orientations, physical abilities, ages, educational backgrounds, social classes and beyond.

Robert Half is also dedicated to those who have served our country. Learn more about our career services for veterans and military spouses.

We appreciate the diversity of our company and the communities in which we live and do business. Our employees strive to create relationships with each other, our candidates and clients, external organizations, and local community members to learn about the backgrounds of those we serve and support. This helps create a dynamic and inclusive environment at Robert Half, where people feel welcome, are comfortable being themselves at work and embrace what makes each person unique.

We’re proud that our work to prioritize inclusion has earned accolades for our company over the years, including these achievements in 2024:

Forbes named Robert Half and Protiviti to its Best Employers for Diversity list for the sixth consecutive year. In the fall of 2024, Forbes also recognized Robert Half as one of the World’s Top Companies for Women, highlighting our dedication to creating an inclusive workplace.

Robert Half and Protiviti achieved top scores of 100 on the Disability Equality Index®, earning the distinction of being a 2024 Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion.

Also, for the second year in a row, Fortune named Robert Half to the highly competitive Fortune® Best Workplaces for Women™ list. The annual list is based on a survey of more than 600,000 women who work for Great Place to Work-Certified™ companies. Employees shared feedback about their organization’s culture, including issues of equal representation, career growth, fairness, trust and camaraderie. In addition to survey responses, organizational demographics were considered. At Robert Half, women comprise 54% of the global workforce.

In December, Robert Half was selected by Fortune and Great Place to Work® as one of the Best Workplaces for Parents 2024. The award recognizes U.S. employers that provide the most inclusive, fair and supportive workplaces for working parents.

Talent solutions

If you like a fast-paced, engaging and rewarding work environment, recruiting may be the right career path for you. It’s hard work to develop your recruiting experience and business at first.

And that’s not the only rewarding part: At Robert Half, we’ll help you climb the ranks of our talent solutions teams.

What field interests you, or do you have experience in? Finance and accounting? Technology? Marketing and creative? Legal? What about administrative and customer support? Many of our professionals have backgrounds in these areas and have developed successful recruiting careers with little to no recruiting experience. So, you can use or develop your specialized knowledge while working with and learning from the best in the industry.

Corporate services

Just because we’re a talent solutions company doesn’t mean everyone at Robert Half is a recruiting professional. We certainly wouldn’t have grown to be the largest specialized talent solutions firm in the world without our corporate services team, which offers various exciting career paths and opportunities across all business functions.

Our corporate services team makes it possible for our recruiters to help many thousands of people find permanent and temporary positions each year. Our business is constantly innovating, and our IT, human resources, marketing, finance and operational support teams work together to stay ahead of the competition and make our organization a great place to work.
