ROBERT WALTERS GROUP
Robert Walters Group CTO , Kevin Bulmer , discusses what he has learned over the pandemic and where the company is going next
When the recruitment company Robert Walters Group first opened in London in 1985 , it could scarcely have imagined the role that technology would come to play in employment . Let alone that their Chief Technology and Transformation Officer would spend over a year functioning from his garden shed .
“ I have been very lucky , but having that lack of social connection has been hard ”, says Kevin Bulmer when asked about how the pandemic has been for him . “ I have spent a lot more time with my children - we played cricket every lunchtime last summer ! But I am looking forward to getting back into the norm .”
Robert Walters Group operates across 31 countries , from Australia to Vietnam , Chile to Portugal . With over 3,000 members of staff , the company assists in recruitment consultancy and outsourcing , for permanent , contract and interim staff , across roles from accounting to technology .
Kevin Bulmer joined the company three years ago , as Chief Technology and Transformation Officer . Before this , Bulmer graduated from the University of Oxford in 1998 and went on to work across Accenture , as a Senior Manager and at Pearson , where he was responsible for running internal technology and delivering new products across Europe , Africa and Asia Pacific .
