see how your contribution adds to the bigger picture. ”
Senior Manager – 3 1⁄2 years

industry with incredible growth potential.
A Fortune 1000 company with operations around the globe,

Ongoing investment in your career

Shine
and rise.
2.1 Elite training programmes
We make it our priority to provide you with the tools,
resources, training and learning opportunities to be successful.
You will learn the fundamentals of the business as well as best
practices based on Robert Half’s proven operating models.
Once you have mastered the basics, we continue your training
by inviting you to participate in a wide range of facilitated
programmes to foster your professional growth. You will learn
techniques for establishing client relationships, recruiting
candidates and networking.
These programmes include in-depth training and professional
skills-building in:
• Leadership
• Management
• Professional Recruitment
• Emotional Intelligence
• Effective Communication
• Top Gun Selling
• Client Focused Selling
2.2 Employee Surveys
We conduct regular employee surveys to gauge staff satisfaction
levels and provide an opportunity for staff members to give
honest, open feedback so that we can continue to be an industry
employer of choice.
When the latest survey results were benchmarked against
leading professional service organisations such as KPMG,
PricewaterhouseCoopers and Reuters, Robert Half exceeded the
benchmark in all categories surveyed which included recognition,
culture, performance management, interpersonal style of
management, interpersonal climate, employee-management
communication, work support and cross-functional collaboration.
2.3 Mentor Programme
The Robert Half Mentor Programme provides a unique learning
experience for existing employees and senior consultants or
managers to exchange knowledge and resources and accelerate
the development of skills and positive behaviours.
This programme is run every quarter, when ‘mentees’ are
identified and partnered with ‘mentors’. This gives the
mentee access to knowledge from an established senior
consultant or manager and allows the mentor to build on their
communication, coaching, management and leadership skills.
“My mentor identified at the outset an area that I’d been
neglecting. The goals we set were quite simple, but really
effective and achievable and I’ve noticed quite a difference
in my business.” Consultant & Mentee
“I thought the mentor programme was excellent. It’s great to
have the perspective of a senior consultant who isn’t on your
team or in your office. I was given new ideas and tips that I
wouldn’t have otherwise heard about and they did work.
I thought it was a really effective use of time.”
Consultant & Mentee
“It was nice to share the knowledge I have learned from great
mentors and pass this onto enthusiastic people who are
passionate about the business, our unique model and value add
proposition.” Division Manager & Mentor
In addition to these formal surveys, we encourage a culture of
open communication across all levels of the business.

What our clients say

Credit
where credit's due.
“The ability to listen to our needs
enabled us to also source an incumbent
who met the organisational culture
requirements which are just as critical
as job skills and qualifications to our
competitive industry. Negotiation skills
and integrity made a difference in
recruiting the best fit for Jetstar, within
very tight timeframes.”
Paras Georgoulos
Human Resources
Jetstar Airways
“We use Robert Half because they
understand our business and assist us
in finding the right candidate for our
business. They are professional at all
times, honest in their assessments and
share our values in being concentrated
on the customer at all times.”
Andrew Holden
General Manager - Operations
Netwealth Investments Ltd
“Robert Half spent considerable time
understanding our needs and the culture
of our businesses, which has led to an
efficient recruiting process. At all times the
approach was professional, enthusiastic
and most importantly they listened to our
needs. We have recommended Robert
Half to our own contacts for their finance
recruiting needs.”
Darren Book
Finance Manager
Meydan Group
“Robert Half has provided a number
of contractors to Aker Kvaerner
Australia over the last few years. What
has been a particular strength and
benefit to our company is the time
taken to understand the requirements
of the finance department and more
importantly, become aware of the team
dynamics. The staff at Robert Half have
also taken a personal interest in the
individuals placed, and the team as
a whole, and continue to put forward
quality candidates.”
Brian Evans
Financial Controller
Aker Kvaerner Australia
“I have been so impressed with Robert
Half’s service that we subsequently
signed an exclusive agreement. Over the
four years Robert Half’s commitment and
ability to find suitable candidates has
made my role considerably easier and
we have established a strong working
relationship.”
Nick Padfield
Manager Financial Services
Turners & Growers
“Robert Half are businesslike and
efficient with a rapid response time
for feedback and questions. The lack
of turnover of consultants at Robert
Half increases the understanding of
our business and further enhances
the honest, professional, no-nonsense
relationship that has developed. Based
on my experience with Robert Half I
have been comfortable to recommend
their services to other managers within
News Limited as well as individuals
outside the firm.”
