Not a place for someone seeking a career - Recruitment Consultant Hays Employee Review

Appreciate you taking time to complete your review however I do have to say, as someone who has a career spanning over 10 years at Hays, I disagree with your comment relating to Hays not being a place for someone seeking a career. The targets set to support future success and promotion are tough but not unobtainable and I speak from personal experience in that I have enjoyed seven promotions in my Hays career. I have not witnessed favouritism at Hays - what I have witnessed is a meritocratic culture in which success is cerebrated not only through incentives and uncapped commission but through promotion too. Mediocrity is not accepted here which can put some people under significant pressure. Understanding the pressure that comes with the role, we offer first class training programmes which provide you with every tool/resource you need to become a recruiting expert at Hays however driving your career is very much your responsibility. Yes we have procedures in place - being the size we are, we need to have strict processes and policies in place to support and protect not only our business but our candidates, clients and our employees too. I appreciate your career with Hays was not how your envisaged it would be however I do hope you find the right job which leads to a prosperous career long term. All the best.
