Testimonials
Read what our clients' and candidates have to say.
"The key accounts delivery team at Robert Walters have performed fantastically during the Burberry project, securing a total of 75% of all vendor placements to date. They have also had the best conversion ratio from a candidate submission to interview request point of view, and can be relied on to provide quality candidates with niche skills quickly (normally less than 48 hours). Aside from great metrics they have also added value, providing additional ad hoc information and market mapping when the business have required it."
"It is really refreshing to be able to talk to an agency that have appointable candidates across different departments such as IT, Marketing and Finance. And then even better to have a contact in the UK that can introduce us to a number of overseas locations where we also have a presence."
I have worked with Robert Walters on a number of occasions on large scale relocation projects with ITV, MOUCHEL and Kier. Robert Walters have been consistent and knowledgeable, not just delivering on what we asked but advising and planning on things we hadn't considered such as advertising strategy and brand awareness. I don't believe our business could have delivered what it has without this partnership. They have been truly outstanding.
Robert Walters has helped us at Sagittal.ai to fill 4 very specific profiles in a record time. While we worked with other agencies in parallel, it was only Robert Walters’ candidates that made it through our tough process, they adapted to our way of working and was extremely efficient, no candidate was a waste of time, great technically and personally. Robert Walters understood and respected our search criteria and budget. Robert Walters is definitely the first that is going to get a call when we need to fill our next vacancy..
