Robert Half International (RHI)

Founded in 1948, Robert Half International Inc. (NYSE symbol: RHI) is the worlds first and largest specialised staffing firm.

RHI is a recognised leader in professional staffing and consulting services, and is the parent company of Protiviti, a leading independent internal audit and business and technology and risk consulting firm.

In 2000, RHI became the first staffing firm to be added to Standard and Poors widely tracked S&P 500 index. For 2003, the company reported revenues and net income of $2.0 billion and $6.4 million, respectively.

And for the 10 years ended December 31, 2002, RHI ranked in the top 1.5 percent of all NYSE firms trading during this period based on total return. The company was also in the top 2.5 percent of the S&P 500 based on total return over this same period, underscoring our performance over the long term.

Most recently, RHI Chairman and CEO Max Messmer was named 2003 CEO of the Year by Morningstar, an independent global investment research firm, based on our companys track record in increasing long-term shareholder value.

RHI has repeatedly been listed on the Forbes Platinum 400 list of the best big companies in America, ranking as one of the top U.S. business services firms for investor returns and growth.

The company has also consistently appeared on Fortune magazines list of Americas Most Admired Companies. Fortunes list rates firms based on criteria ranging from long-term investment value and quality of management to innovativeness, employee talent and social responsibility.

In addition, BusinessWeek featured RHI in a September 2002 cover story as one of several companies with a history of ethics and integrity in business. In April 2002, RHI was included in the magazines list of 12 companies with the strongest balance sheets. BusinessWeek researched a database of 7,000 companies to determine the list.
