LONDON (Alliance News) - Robert Walters PLC Tuesday said it expects its full-year 2014 pretax profit to be ahead of expectations, as the recruitment and recruitment process outsourcing consultancy reported a 10% increase in third-quarter net fee income.
In a statement, Robert Walters said net fee income increased to GBP56.8 million in the quarter ended September 30, compared with GBP51.7 million in the corresponding quarter last year. The increase was driven by a 30% jump in Robert Walters' other international segment, as well as a 21% rise in the UK, backed up by 5% growth in Europe and 2% in Asia Pacific.
The group said headcount increased to 2,580 from 2,285 since September 30, 2013.
"We are seeing growth across all of the group's regions and encouragingly across both established and emerging recruitment markets," Chief Executive Robert Walters said in a statement.
Robert Walters shares Monday closed at 302.75 pence.
