Experienced talent via resource augmentation
The skills you need, when you need them, without the risks of traditional hiring.
What is our experienced talent solution?
Our experienced talent solution gives you flexible access to in-demand professionals who make an immediate impact on your critical projects.
Using resource augmentation, we deploy consultants as Robert Walters employees. This means you can scale your teams without increasing permanent headcount or navigating contractor compliance. We handle all the employment risk, so you can focus on delivering results.
Whether you need technology, project management, business analysis, or finance capability, we offer flexible support that helps you achieve your goals.

How it works
We provide experienced consultants who are employed by us and deployed to you on a contingent basis. All our consultants are fully vetted before deployment.
Our experienced consultants are available for mid to long-term assignments, typically six months or longer, and make an impact from day one. Because our consultants are permanently employed by us, we take on all compliance risk, including co-employment and IR35. This gives you complete peace of mind.
Unlike traditional consultancies, you have the option to convert consultants to permanent employees at the end of the agreed term. This helps you build long-term capability while trialing talent before making a commitment.
Key benefits
- Save up to 15% compared to hiring contractors
- A hassle-free and flexible way to ramp your talent requirements up or down
- Consultants are available for placements of six months or longer
- Mitigation against IR35/Agency Workers Regulations (AWR)/co-employment legislation risk
- Single channel through services procurement/SOW or MSP
- Consultant objectives can be aligned with bonus payments
What makes our solution different?
Powered by data
We make data-driven decisions to optimise your hiring processes and deliver the talent you need effectively and efficiently. The key to operational excellence is accurate data, but many businesses struggle to produce consistent metrics and up-to-date market insight. That’s where RWInsights comes in.
RWInsights is our cloud-based platform powered by 100+ data sources and a global team of data scientists who are experts in talent analytics, and the economic and demographic factors that influence talent. It gives you access to an always-on, personalised talent analytics platform to build a truly data-led approach to managing your non-permanent workforce.
Enabled by tech
Our solutions are always underpinned by technology solutions that meet the specific requirements of our clients. Central to all these solutions is a Vendor Management System (VMS) that enables us to manage the full procure-to-pay process. We have partnerships with the leading VMS providers to ensure the right solution is delivered for your unique requirements.
In addition to this, our RW Plus platform provides dynamic modules for each stage of the talent lifecycle, from route classification through to onboarding. RW Plus can work alongside and integrate seamlessly with the VMS to deliver an exceptional user experience.
