‘Record’ growth in second quarter
July 12, 2017

Recruiter Robert Walters (RWA) announced ‘record’ second-quarter results following a 25 per cent boost in net fee income. The firm saw double-digit fee growth across all geographies, with stand-out performances from the International and Asia Pacific regions (+112 per cent and +21 per cent, respectively).

Net fee income growth from the UK did not reach the  heights of last quarter, at 13 per cent compared with 27 per cent. However, financial services, commerce and IT recruitment in London saw good activity, and the UK’s resource solutions business – enabling companies to outsource parts of their HR  – made headway. Resource solutions also developed its client base across Asia-Pacific.
