Pros

Earning potential here is second to none - most average performing consultants are earning between 10-20K every month. Not impossible for someone to hit 6 digit commission figures in a month. To a certain level - most things are super established & transparent (salary, expectations, KPI, promotion criteria's, training) Fun events and able to claim just about everything i.e. food with clients, transport, sports and rec, a LOT of money vouchers and free gifts. They know how to make the job fun - you don't have to explain who Hays is, everybody knows who they are. All you need to work on is sales techniques, negotiation, ability to think super fast on pushbacks, commercial acumen. You get to work with a very diverse pool of clients - MNC, Banks, Consulting Firms, FMCG, Retail, Automotive, etc. If a company is making tons of money, Hays is most likely on their panel of vendors.

Cons

Not for everybody - super fast paced environment & highly competitive.
