Pros

Snacks in the office, a plus I guess

Cons

CEO is a liar, mentioned that no one would be laid off during COVID-19 and proceeds to lay off over 75 new staff. Pays less than most recruiting firms. Very racist company, I can count on one hand the number of minority staff employed.

It is true we suffered a loss of employees after Covid struck, but the number mentioned above is significantly higher that the true number of people that were impacted, and some have since been rehired. Equity, Diversity and Inclusion is extremely important to us, and we have engaged a global ED and I consulting firm to support our efforts. We also created our Diversity and Inclusion Steering Committee (DISCO) over a year ago and have rolled out a number of initiatives to support an inclusive culture, such as implementing blind recruitment for our core employee hiring. We are fully committed to fostering a workplace and culture where all feel they belong. If you would like to share more details on your feedback, please reach out to People Relations (peoplerelations@hays.com). All conversations are confidential. Wishing you well in your future endeavors.
