Robert Half Inc. (NYSE: RHI) is a global talent solutions and business consulting firm headquartered in Menlo Park, California, and founded in 1948. The company operates through three segments: Contract Talent Solutions, which places temporary professionals in fields such as finance, accounting, technology, legal, and marketing; Permanent Placement Talent Solutions, focused on full-time accounting, finance, and tax roles; and Protiviti, its consulting arm offering services in risk, compliance, technology, internal audit, and digital transformation. The firm primarily markets its services under the Robert Half and Protiviti brands through digital advertising, job boards, alliance partners, and events. The company was previously known as Robert Half International Inc. before rebranding in July 2023.
As a member of the Industrials sector within the Human Resource & Employment Services sub-industry, Robert Half generates revenue from both temporary staffing margins and permanent placement fees, with its Protiviti segment providing higher-margin advisory work that diversifies the business beyond traditional staffing. Staffing firms like RHI tend to be cyclical, with demand closely tied to labor market conditions and corporate hiring trends.
