Founded in 1948, Robert Half has a long company history of innovation, always guided by high ethical standards and the belief that finding the right fit for a client and candidate creates an engaged and energized workforce.
They pioneered the idea of professional staffing services nearly 70 years ago and, as the needs of businesses have evolved, so have they. In 1986, when current leadership acquired the Robert Half business from founder Bob Half, the staffing industry was much different than it is today. Their leadership team saw potential in moving toward a more specialized staffing approach and began placing temporary workers at higher skill levels. Their clients and candidates found value in professional-level staffing, which is why they launched a series of temporary professional staffing divisions in the finance and accounting, legal, creative and marketing, technology and administrative fields. And in 2002, they again saw opportunity and introduced Protiviti, a global independent risk consulting and internal audit service, to support companies as they faced more stringent financial reporting and disclosure practices under new regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley.
