Robert
Walters Company Information
About
The Robert Walters Company
Established 18 years ago, Robert Walters has developed an international
office network and now has 20 offices across 5 continents.
All
of their offices have been started from the ground up by Robert
Walters employees and are not affiliates. This ensures that their
quality of service is consistently high and that their entire network
works in the best interest of their clients and candidates whether
they be global blue chip organisations or locally based candidates.
The
consultants Robert Walters employ are drawn from within both the
recruitment industry and the specialist fields in which they operate.
All consultants at Robert Walters undertake a thorough and comprehensive
training programme to ensure their organisation can effectively
and professionally represent both clients and candidates.
The
vast majority of their competitors operate on an individual commission
basis. This is not always in the best interest of the client or
candidate as a consultant can feel under pressure to close a deal
even when the fit isn’t right. Robert Walters as a firm operate
on a shared bonus scheme, which aims to ensure that the correct
fit of candidate to client is achieved.
Unlike
many competitors, their candidates are not owned by individual consultants,
meaning that their recruiters have access to the whole database
in an unbiased way.
As a testament to the quality of their service, 65% of their candidates
come through referrals and recommendations.
It
has become increasingly important that the providers of temporary
and contract staff can demonstrate to both clients and candidates
the ability to pay the contractors salaries. Robert Walters are
in the enviable position of being a public company, which is cash
rich and debt free.
Robert Walters produces the most detailed and comprehensive Salary
Survey in the market. The survey can be viewed online or in hard
copy.
Within
the IT sector it is very common because of the skill based nature
of the sector, that candidates are vetted for technical skills,
but not always interviewed face to face. At Robert Walters, every
effort is made that the vast majority of IT candidates are interviewed
prior to submission to a client.
Robert
Walters regularly co-ordinate global recruitment seminars to proactively
source candidates out of South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
