Pros

I enjoyed the team that I was working with until everyone was fired and their roles moved to sourcing teams in India.

Cons

I had a highly disappointing experience working at Hays Recruitment. The company conducted layoffs in a manner that felt disrespectful to employees, showing little regard for their contributions. Promised promotion plans were abruptly canceled, leaving staff demotivated and uncertain about career progression. For three months, I was left without a reporting line. Additionally, I received zero commission for four months due to the absence of a director, severely impacting my earnings. This lack of leadership, poor communication, and disregard for employee well-being made my time at Hays deeply frustrating. All board directors for Ireland are gone basically, the whole team is unsure of what is happening.
