Introducing our Consultancy community
Every year, we bring our consultants together for a summer town hall and awards event. It's a chance to network, learn, and celebrate the achievements of our consultant community.
The event showcases the commitment, talent, and teamwork that make our community thrive, and gives us the opportunity to recognise outstanding contributions through our awards ceremony.
Discovering tomorrow with our clients
How we’ve partnered with leading organisations to shape the workforce of tomorrow while delivering value today.
From skills gaps and rising costs to accelerated delivery and £2.1m saved
“I’ve been working with Robert Walters for the past 12 months, bringing in five Business Analysts to support our squads and tribes as we build out data analytics solutions. They’ve hit the ground running and quickly become part of a well-gelled, high-performing team. The real benefit has been their capability and pace. Bringing in highly skilled individuals has allowed us to accelerate our programme”.
Enhancing workforce agility and efficiency for a leading asset management firm
''We have been really impressed with the success of the Consultancy service from Robert Walters over the past 12 months. In the current climate, every business is carefully managing their cost base, naturally, the average 23% cost saving achieved was particularly attractive."
