Haymes began his career in the early 1940s as a vocalist in the bands of Carl Hoff and Bob Chester.
In 1942 Haymes began work, under the name "Bob Stanton", for the radio show Gillette Cavalcade of Sports. He continued with the program until 1946, when it was turned into a television show on NBC; he became the host of the television show until 1949. He also served as the host of other NBC shows, all under the name "Bob Stanton", including game show Campus Hoopla during the show's run from 1946 to 1947, Television Screen Magazine in 1948, the country music show Village Barn in 1949, and the show Around the Town in 1950.
During this time Haymes began acting in films, including Is Everybody Happy? (1943) and Mr. Winkle Goes to War (1944). In several films, including the 1945 Abbott and Costello in Hollywood, he was credited as "Robert Stanton" (a screen name that had been used earlier in the 1940s by film actor Kirby Grant).
In 1952, he had his only known television acting job, starring in the DuMont Television Network sitcom It's a Business with Leo De Lyon; the two played Broadway song publishers. He appeared under the name "Bob Haymes".
In the early 1950s, Bob Haymes began work as a songwriter. In 1952, he co-wrote the song "My Love, My Love" with Nick Acquaviva, which became a hit when recorded by Joni James (Acquaviva's eventual sister-in-law) later that year. That same year, Haymes copyrighted the song entitled, "C'est Tout," which was the early incarnation of his most notable song, "That's All." In 1953, he refined the song's lyrics with Alan Brandt, who was subsequently credited as co-writer.
The song was first performed by Nat King Cole in 1957, and became a hit when recorded by Bobby Darin in 1959. It has since been recorded by dozens of artists including Frank Sinatra, Mel Tormé, Johnny Mathis, Nina Simone, Bennie Green, Johnny Lytle, The Three Sounds, Lou Donaldson, Michael Bublé, and Rod Stewart.
In the mid-'50s, he co-wrote the song "They Say It's Spring" with Marty Clark; the song was made popular by jazz singer Blossom Dearie, who recorded it on her 1957 album Give Him the Ooh-La-La. During that same time, he wrote the song "I Never Get Enough of You", which was recorded by his brother, Dick and also by The Billy Taylor Trio on his 1957 album The New Billy Taylor Trio for ABC Paramount Records
In 1968, Bob Haymes served as the national television director for Richard Nixon's presidential campaign.
