Many staffing companies' shares have been hit by recession concerns. But Robert Half is well positioned to perform well in part because U.S. companies need finance professionals to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley corporate law reform laws.

The company's shares, which closed at $26.90 on Friday, could be trading around $40 by the end of 2008, Barron's said. (Reporting by Dan Wilchins)
