Ireland ‘stand-out performer’ for British recruiter

International recruitment firm Robert Walters has highlighted Ireland as being a “stand-out performer” for the business in its latest trading update.

The British recruiter, which has offices on all continents, yesterday reported an 11% year-on-year jump in group gross profit for the second quarter of the year, to £60m (€85m).

The company’s balance sheet remains strong, with net cash at the end of the period amounting to just shy of £15m and marginally up on the same period last year.
