Pros

Career development like no other. The skills you develop early in your career are invaluable, with clear opportunities for continuous progression and an environment that genuinely rewards success. Hays is a supportive place to work, with an excellent learning and development offering and strong ongoing support for consultants. There is real flexibility across the business, including meaningful support for parents and carers. Recruitment is very much a career where you get out what you put in, and Hays recognises and rewards its people well.

Cons

Like any performance‑driven environment, the role can be challenging at times and requires resilience and consistency. It suits people who are motivated and comfortable being accountable for their own results.

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.
