UK recruiters Hays, Robert Walters warn on market conditions
Hays and Robert Walters warned of near-term challenges on Tuesday as both UK recruiting firms posted a drop in first-quarter net fees reflecting weak client and candidate confidence. Hays shares were down 3.3%% and Robert Walters down 5.1% as of 0825 GMT in London as they joined peer PageGroup in reporting a tough start to 2024.
