250+ permanent and contract roles needed for a large-scale migration

"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."
