Working Here
No limits to what you can achieve and where you can go
Enterprise Spirit
A key characteristic of our working environment is a strong culture of entrepreneurship. We passionately believe in a ‘can do’ approach. Most of our specialist brands and sector teams have evolved from giving consultants the freedom, encouragement and resources to identify and capitalise on market opportunities while building strong teams around them.
The directors on our board give us complete autonomy – and will back those individuals who want to break into new markets and challenge existing players. That means you can develop your own specialisation, without fear of being told ‘That’s not your patch’. There’s no prescriptive approach – in fact, we want to meet people who are willing to break out of their comfort zone.
International Connection
The international network of Hays gives you yet another advantage, in a market where employers increasingly engage in cross-border recruitment, and where executive and board level appointments are often managed on a global basis.
Firstly, you’ll be able to identify candidates who are willing to relocate for the right position. Imagine – a team of like-minded colleagues in 25 countries with extensive networks and sophisticated databases to draw upon.
And of course, our global reach means potential future career opportunities. You may even find yourself on secondment or transfer – many of the consultants and directors in our overseas businesses started their Hays careers in the UK.
Equipped To Excel
We want to provide the highest standards of service to our clients, as well as superb opportunities for career progression to our own people. So we’re forward-looking – and training and development is regarded as a critical investment.
From induction onwards, you’ll have a structured personal development plan; which will include performance reviews coupled with individually tailored training and development programmes.
