I hated every moment of it, I was bullied, micromanaged and unrealistic targets were put on people. If someone was treated badly my a member of the management team and became upset the office was told they had family issues, which was not true. I thought it was recruitment in general I did not like but since then have had 10 years in recruitment and now hold a senior role in a international recruitment company, so have realised it was the hays culture I did not like.
Would not recommend as a place to work. I have kept in touch with many people who worked there at the same time as me and all now still work in recruitment but have bad memories and experiences of their time in Hays. One thing it has taught me is how not to treat my employees or my clients as we were actively encouraged to lie to them.
Was given one salary then three months later this was lowered to encourage me to bill more!
