Recruiter Robert Walters lifts FY expectations

Recruiter Robert Walters lifted its full-year expectations on Thursday following strong trading in the fourth quarter.

The group now expects pre-tax profit for the year to the end of December 2021 to be "comfortably ahead" of current market expectations, "as a result of strong trading across all regions in the first two months of the fourth quarter and improved visibility in respect of December trading".

The company is due to release a fourth-quarter trading update on 11 January 2022.
