Pros

The business, like many recruitment firms, came out of the pandemic like the clappers. Where many Recruitment Consultants talk about a slowing in the market, at Hays Belfast we are not seeing this at all. I think the company has the right blend of L&D, hybrid working, team events and a positive office environment,

Cons

The downside invariably relates tot he market. Some customers blow hot and cold and you have to be resilient to the Dear John email on a Monday morning where occasionally a candidate decides not to attend an interview or, even worse, not start a job they've accepted. That's life and we invariably have other candidates we can follow up with.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
