Our commitment to diversity and inclusion

At Robert Walters, we believe in fostering inclusion, acceptance, and belonging in the workplace by employing individuals who bring unique perspectives to the company. All qualified individuals, including people of all races, national origins, ages and religions, people with or without disabilities, and people with any gender identity and sexual orientation, are urged to apply.

But we know it's not enough just to say we're committed. Important change requires action.

Here are some of the important discussions we're having:
