(Reuters) - Hays said on Wednesday its first-half operating profit would be at the lower end of market expectations as the British recruiter, like its peers, bears the brunt of tough hiring market conditions globally.
Hays, which focuses largely on hiring for white-collar roles, said it expects pre-exceptional operating profit of about 25 million pounds ($30.5 million). A company-compiled consensus was for between 24 million and 33.2 million pounds.
