      Probably one of the better recruitment firms to work for, but as with all recruitment can be cut throat. - Associate Consultant Hays Employee Review

      Pros

      Great training scheme. Perfect for new recruiters. Advice:If looking in London, Cheapside (Private Sector) is a much better location to work from than Ebury (Public Sector).

      Cons

      Senior management can be petty. Treat staff who choose to leave very poorly, banning them from incentives etc. One of the reasons why I wanted to leave. Pay is lower than competing agencies. Base salary for associate consultant is £5000 less than Michael Page and Reed.
