Top Reasons to Build Your Career at Robert Half

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 70 years — and we’ve seen a lot of change over those decades. One constant has been our focus on helping people connect with work that 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 that we 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 have 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 our 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. And 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 2023, Fortune again named Robert Half to the Fortune 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 half a 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.

Here are some of the other recent accolades Robert Half has earned:

In May 2023 and for the fifth consecutive year, Robert Half earned the top spot on Forbes’ annual ranking of America’s Best Professional Recruiting Firms. Forbes also recognized Robert Half as one of the top Temporary Staffing and Executive Recruiting Firms.
In March 2023, Fortune named Robert Half and Protiviti to its inaugural list of Fortune® America’s Most Innovative Companies. The ranking features companies at the forefront of innovation in three key areas: product, process and culture. It’s based on an independent survey of over 25,000 U.S. employees at more than 15,000 companies as well as input from experts in various field.
In February 2023, for the third consecutive year, Forbes recognized Robert Half as one of America’s Best Large Employers — and also named us the top-ranked staffing firm for the second year in a row. This annual ranking is based on an independent survey of approximately 45,000 participants from a wide range of companies with 1,000 or more employees in the U.S. Respondents were asked to rate their willingness to recommend their employer to friends and family, as well as other factors such as working conditions, potential for advancement and company image.
Earlier that same month, Robert Half was also named to the Fortune® World’s Most Admired Companies™ list for the 26th consecutive year. (We are the only organization in our industry to achieve this distinction!)
Also, last fall, Fortune named Robert Half and Protiviti to the highly competitive Fortune Best Workplaces for Women™ list. The annual list is based on a survey of more than 640,000 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 and Protiviti, women comprise 55% of the global workforce.

Additionally, in October 2023, 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 150,000 employees in 57 countries. Respondents rate their employers in various areas, including image, trust, gender equality, corporate social responsibility, corporate culture and benefits.

Robert Half was also ranked first on the Best Places to Work in the Bay Area (1,000-plus+ employees) list, which the San Francisco Business Times and the Silicon Valley Business Journal released in May 2022. The winning companies were those whose employees rated them highest on key dimensions, including communication and resources, manager effectiveness, team dynamics, individual needs, personal engagement, and trust in leadership.

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 we’re happy to help relocate them for their next big opportunity. Many of our team members also have the flexibility to work remotely and maintain hybrid work schedules, depending on their role and location.

5. Diversity, equity and inclusion

Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) are words we don’t take lightly at Robert Half. As a recruiting firm founded on a 70-year history of putting ethics first, we have built strong programs to promote DEI 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 dedicated to those who have served our country. Learn more about Robert Half’s 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 to 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 DEI efforts over the years have earned accolades for our company, including the following achievements in 2023:

In April, Forbes named Robert Half and Protiviti to its Best Employers for Diversity list for the fifth consecutive year.
In January 2023, Robert Half and Protiviti were named to the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index for the fifth consecutive year.

Our DEI programs at Robert Half have always been shaped around the interests and priorities of our employees. Some recent examples include our employee network groups (ENGs), which are communities within our company organically created around a common purpose, interest or background. They include:

Black Employee Network (BEN)

BEN was the first ENG to form at our company. Three Robert Half employees organized and launched the group last summer. One co-founder of BEN said, “Being involved in BEN has been such a benefit to my employee experience. It’s connected me to colleagues I likely never would have interacted with … and involved me in projects that speak to my head and my heart, so I truly feel like I’m bringing my best self to work.”

Learn more about BEN and the progress Robert Half has made to help support the Black community and advance our DEI efforts.

Global Women’s Employee Network (GWEN)

GWEN, launched in March 2021, is helping us close the gender gap. Comprising 800-plus employees of Robert Half and Protiviti, GWEN’s mission is to champion and amplify women’s perspectives while creating networks, community, and growth opportunities for women. In a recent interview, one of the group’s co-founders said, “I’ve been fortunate to have women peers and leaders at Robert Half who have helped inspire me to be a better leader.”

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