Description: RHI Robert Half International

Robert Half Inc. (NYSE:RHI) delivers talent-solution and business-consulting services worldwide through three core segments: Contract Talent Solutions, Permanent Placement Talent Solutions, and Protiviti consulting.

The Contract Talent segment supplies on-demand professionals across finance & accounting, technology, marketing, legal, and customer support, while the Permanent Placement segment focuses on full-time hires in accounting, finance, and tax operations. Protiviti provides advisory and managed services spanning regulatory compliance, finance, technology, data, digital transformation, HR, governance, risk, and internal audit.

In its latest fiscal quarter (Q2 2024), Robert Half reported revenue of $1.38 billion, up 7% year-over-year, driven by strong demand for flexible staffing amid a tight U.S. labor market. The firm’s operating margin expanded to 12.5%, reflecting higher pricing power and cost-discipline.

Key sector drivers include the ongoing “great resignation,” which is boosting demand for contingent labor, and rising corporate investment in risk and compliance consulting as regulatory scrutiny intensifies across industries.

Founded in 1948 and headquartered in Menlo Park, California, the company rebranded from Robert Half International Inc. to Robert Half Inc. in July 2023, continuing to market its services under the Robert Half and Protiviti brands.
