Robert Half Q1 net income falls to $17 million; revenue down 8% to $1.352 billion
Robert Half reported first-quarter 2025 results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, with net income of $17 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared with $64 million, or $0.61 per share, a year earlier. Revenue fell 8% to $1.352 billion, and the CEO said client and job seeker caution is lengthening decision cycles and slowing hiring, which points to weaker near-term earnings for shareholders.
