      Good business, but is struggling to adapt to the modern world of recruiting

      Pros

      Good training (for the sector, could be better). Good benefits Regional coverage International opportunities Some innovative products such as the digital section.

      Cons

      Suffers from the same issues as most recruitment companies: can be extremely KPI-focused and short-termist at times. Work-life balance poor (par for the sector however). High turnover, skill-base / commitment to most markets relatively low.

      Difficult not to be just a number in this big, faceless corporate monster.

      Pros

      It's a well-known company so often work just landed in your lap.

      Cons

      A 'restructure' (mass redundancies) was handled very insensitively and with little genuine concern for people's feelings. If you are a woman working at Hays and want promotion, say goodbye to the idea of having a family or work/life balance. The only woman who progressed far (that I knew) behaved like a man - aggressive, hard nosed, with very low emotional intelligence. I suspect there was great inequality in pay in terms of gender too.
