Tue, 3 Dec 2013Financial and accountancy recruiter Walker Hamill, 21st in this year’s Recruiter HOT 100, saw turnover and profit dip last year as they invested in the business.

The 2013 HOT 100 was sponsored by Flo Software Solutions and supported by RBS, and lists the UK recruitment firms with the greatest gross profit per employee.

Walker Hamill’s turnover in the year to 28 February 2013 dropped to £11.5m from £14.4m last year.

This left the firm with gross profit per employee of £117k, down from £138k the previous year. Staff numbers dropped from 52 to 48.

Post-tax profit of £3k was recorded, down from £510k in 2012.

The company says it chose “to retain our staff and enhance our IT systems, thereby sacrificing profit in the short term”.
