Stop the talent drain
Losing high performers to competitors isn't just frustrating. It's costly, disruptive, and hard to recover from. These are the people who drive results, lead teams, and elevate your culture.
Hold onto your high performers by:
- Offering market-related salary and benefits packages aligned with industry standards.
- Understanding what your competitors are offering, from career growth opportunities to pay rates.
- Supporting employees across every level with personalised coaching programes design to bring out their best.
Strengthen retention
Shifting employee expectations and a more globalised workforce means that organisations are often struggling to hold onto their talent. Employees are searching for an environment where they feel supported and appropriately compensated for their skills, as well as their experience.
Elevate talent retention by:
- Crafting compelling compensation and benefits packages.
- Accessing insights into your competitors' talent strategy.
- Empowering your people to make a lasting impact from day one.
Inspire top talent
High drop-off rates, declined job offers, or a mismatch between hires and performance are all key indicators that your attraction strategy isn’t connecting with leading talent. Our Talent Advisory experts take a consultative approach to help organisations increase their attraction.
Attract and engage top talent by:
- Incorporating authentic, future-focused strategies to connect with every generation.
- Utilising assessments to indentify key skills, attributes, and even cultural fit before candidates join your organisation.
- Building equitable reward structures for employees at every level.
- Creating a compelling employer narrative throughout the hiring process.

Fonterra - Diverse Hiring diagnostic
Having recently established our Internal Talent Acquisition function we were keen to hold up a mirror and ensure our recruitment practices met our values and ambitions to be an organisation with diversity, equity and inclusion at its heart. Robert Walters was a stand-out partner for us to work with given their proven expertise in this space. We were looking for a partner who could not only audit our current practices but also share solutions and best practices to enable us to become an exemplary organisation in this space.
The Diverse Hiring diagnostic provided us with a clear understanding of opportunities to become a more inclusive and welcoming organisation. Supported by best practice recommendations, we have been able to develop a clear roadmap that will enhance our approach across all the lenses we reviewed.

Uber - Candidate Experience Diagnostic
Continually improving the candidate experience at Uber is our North Star in Talent Acquisition. It is our obsession and so much work goes into constantly evaluating the candidate journey to see what works and what can be improved whilst keeping pace with changing candidate sentiment and change. However, it was truly enlightening to engage with Robert Walters as an external partner was not only a fresh pair of eyes but a tremendous amount of expertise in the space. The key thing for us is to identify actionable items that we can make happen at speed and at scale with impact, so to be able to achieve this with the diagnostic approach was fantastic.

What is the difference between a recruiter and a talent advisor?
While recruiters and talent advisors both play vital roles in helping businesses find talent, their focus and approach differ significantly. A recruiter is primarily responsible for sourcing, screening, and placing candidates into open roles. In contrast, a talent advisor takes a more strategic, consultative approach – helping organisations understand the broader talent landscape, improve hiring processes, and build long-term workforce strategies. Rather than filling vacancies, the goal of a talent advisor is to help businesses solve systemic hiring challenges and make smarter, future-focused talent decisions.
