Advice to Management

Freshen up Senior Level Management and bring the office back to being grounded, make it a more open environment rather than one of fear. Take a look at what other successful recruitment agencies are doing and stop the clock watching, you can be just as successful (if not much more) working flexible hours in recruitment and the odd day from home at any level of seniority as you can from being stuck in an office having every breath monitored.

Pros

If you like sales and want to excel your career, you have the potential to do incredibly well at Hays.

Pros

The pros of this company are without a doubt the positive corporate culture, unlimited earning potential and career progression. There is a wealth of recruitment expertise and management/colleague support in this organization, from the President and VP to Business and People Managers. It isn’t common to have such seasoned experts who day in and out are there to support your continued success and growth. This is a large contributor to the success of the consultants and the business as a whole.

Advice to Management

Keep up the great work!

Pros

If you are looking for a company to invest in you and get you to the next level. That is it. There are bad people everywhere. Yes some people are rewarded and don’t deserve it but so is life. If you work hard and know how to maneuver the hierarchy - you’ll win.

Advice to Management

Support your team. Support your people. And have an open door policy if you actually believe in it. Or don’t promote it and get people in trouble for using it.

Pros

I started working here about 5 years ago and have been promoted 5 times. If you work hard, you get rewarded - simple as that. The earning potential is limitless and the opportunities for career advancement are endless. I've never seen someone who put the work in, and didn't enjoy it. Fact is that if you work hard, you'll make 6 figures in your second year. There aren't many companies who can offer you that in your second year out of college.

Advice to Management

Keep it up. The negative feedback on here is certainly from consultants who just couldnt cut it......and how dare you suggest it was their fault!!! ;)

Pros

Good people, good training, can be financially rewarding.

Pros

They promote everyone, it's based on targets achieved. Club trips twice a year for top performers. Leave early Fridays if you meet the billing requirements. Very laid back, everyone swears which is not really a pro but that's how it is. Salary is a joke as is the commission.

Advice to Management

Be professional, it's obvious that you lack basic business principles. The top people shouldn't swear nor should they gossip. You will not get professional employees because you are not professional and an English accent doesn't mean that you are.
