Vantaggi

If you want a career in recruitment, this is a very good place to start and to learn, very good for a step up into bigger and better things.

Svantaggi

Lowest pay in the industry by a country mile KPIs are everything, they are flashed round the office 3 times a day, you are expected to draw blood for Hays (almost literally). There are so many layers of management and directors who are driven by KPIs, that everyone is just a number and are a product of their last month. Extremely hands-on management and control, though this environment can help you learn, you cannot help but feel absolutely controlled, and I experienced manipulation regularly, many of my colleagues felt depressed, bullied and anxious, even when performing well / extremely well there is little appreciate only 'you need to be doing better'. You are expected to give your life to Hays (you will be gradually encouraged to work 7:30 - 7pm) with little remuneration. Highest turn-over of staff I ever experienced.

Thank you for your review. We do have high performance expectations at Hays and KPIs and targets are a big part of any sales environment but we absolutely do not condone bullying in the workplace - if there’s some specific examples or feedback you’d like to pass on in regards to this can you please contact Trisha Brookes, Director of People and Culture. I'm sorry that you had a negative experience with us but we wish you well in your future endeavours.

Vantaggi

Great place for new recruiters to gain experience. A lot to learn. Younger crowd, fun teams.

Svantaggi

Competitive, people that weren't succeeding would be put on PIPs and eventually let go. Can be some micro-managing. Not all managers created equal - some great, some not so great.
