Robert Half Inc.

A global talent-solutions and consulting firm, Robert Half places professionals in finance, technology, marketing, legal, and administrative roles, and its Protiviti subsidiary provides risk, compliance, and internal-audit consulting to businesses of all sizes. Founder Bob Half and his wife Maxine started the company in 1948 in New York City as an employment agency for accountants, pioneering specialized staffing. A fun quirk: the name sounds like an accountant joke—and the firm's playful "Half" brand has long been a favorite of accounting humor.
