Pros

A place to help with self growth and career progression, coming from a sales background Hays has helped me become a people manager, training is the best I have ever received and this is always the same from other staff feedback, all staff come from so many backgrounds which is great for team bonding and culture.

Cons

None to add 2 years in.

Pros

Excellent training throughout your career . They hire for potential and will train you up so no recruitment experience needed. Fantastic colleagues who make you feel supported at every level. Uncapped commission. Annual well planned events always impress such as a Summer and Christmas Parties. Market leading recruiting resources (top class marketing team & systems) Great office locations - always in the hub of the action! Transparent senior management team that keeps you well informed

Cons

A low base salary particularly when starting off. Flexi time and working from home has been limited to date.

Pros

I’ve been working at Hays Ireland for almost 4 years now and throughout my time at Hays I’ve found the leadership excellent. I’m compelled to write this review as during this challenging time we have received positive and supportive leadership which has helped everyone overcome struggles working from home. The community at Hays Ireland is brilliant and it is really like a family particularly through adversity and everyone looks out for each other. We have great support from our MD and my direct Manager has been so transparent about everything and helped with any issues from home. We are still promoting people in this tough time and this is a celebration of what a great company it is to work for. The career opportunities at excellent at Hays and people who work hard are rewarded well for their efforts. The operational Directors are all approachable and all have a clear vision of success and are always open to ideas and are keen to support you in any way they can. Overall I’ve been so impressed with Hays over the last 4 years but especially now!!!

Cons

My only con is we are working remotely but we will be back to normal soon hopefully!

Pros

There is a great atmosphere. Training is definitely second to none! The managers, trainers and senior consultants will always take time out of their day to help. The commission structure is quite generous, so after a 3 plus months, it makes a significant different on the pay.

Cons

Base could be higher. High turnover. But both of these are part of the industry.
