Client Testimonials
"We were delighted with the service provided by Hays Retail in the appointment of such a key member of our senior management team. From an excellent shortlist, one candidate presented us with an unexpected bonus of sector specific expertise, alongside his senior retail and strategic capabilities. Hays were professional and efficient throughout.”
J.C., Group MD, Retail Company
“We asked 2 employment agencies to demonstrate how they would go about finding us the right candidate. Hays was the most knowledgeable and creative and their presentation far superior.
"They also took the time to understand how our business was run and the personality of the candidate we were looking for, which was especially important for us. CVs were also clearly summarised in table format, making it easier to remember and sort candidates. We would certainly recommend Hays.”
T.L., Managing Director, Private Charter Specialist
“We were looking to recruit an experienced Financial Controller - we short listed and selected Hays Accounting due to its leading reputation and regional presence.
"The service from Hays was excellent. Hays assisted with role formulation, the setting of a competitive package, CV filtering and the holding of first interviews with prospective candidates. Hays provided advice and guidance throughout the process to the point where we offered the position to the candidate.
"Based on our positive experience we would recommend the services of Hays to prospective employers and indeed use Hays again for our additional hires”.
M.M., CFO, Oil Company
“Hays lived up to their CIMA award - CIMA Recruitment Consultancy of the Year 2006 - by being efficient, 'fleet of foot' and providing a short list of well vetted, highly qualified and experienced candidates that met our brief.
"The flexibility of being able to use their offices for interviewing at times to suit our busy team was the icing on the cake. We will not hesitate to use them in future for further recruitment needs”.
S.V., HR Director, RFID Solutions Provider
“We recently used Hays to fill a senior position within our EAME group created by internal promotion and found them to be efficient, professional and responsive. We placed the ad with three agencies and Hays provided the best selection of candidates within a couple of days.
"Having reviewed the initial list of candidates the options - and costs - for attracting more candidates were explained. Our Business Manager kept us up to date with potential new candidates and the whole process was pretty painless.
“I have used Hays a number of times over the years and the service level is consistently good, to the degree where I am happy to recommend Hays to colleagues”.
M.C., Financial Controller, Exploration Company
“Hays was chosen due to the professionalism and “can-do” attitude displayed at the first interview. Having debated the experience and qualification requirements of the new employee with us, Hays was able to send us details of various candidates who looked suitable for the position.
"Following the interviews, three were short-listed and our eventual choice was the very first person who we interviewed. We are delighted with this choice. Hays were extremely helpful and professional throughout the process.
We had a very satisfactory outcome and based on this experience - I would happily recommend the Hays Accountancy & Finance recruitment service to any other employer looking for accountancy personnel”.
SW-G, Managing Director, Retail Company

Candidate Testimonials
"Hays was on my shortlist as they had excellent coverage in the area I was looking to find a job through several offices. I had one point of contact in a Hays office with whom I registered and received regular updates from on the progress of the search.
"The service I received was excellent and it took a short time to find the role I was looking for. Now I am in a position where I may need to recruit and I would have no hesitation in calling Hays to find me the right candidate.”

“I was looking to change my job to get a role that would offer me more of a challenge, and I registered with Hays because they were well known and a friend had recommended them.
"My consultant was very friendly and professional and only sent me for roles, which were just right for me. I would definitely recommend Hays as they really work very hard to find the right job for you. I am very happy in my new role and when I need to change jobs again, I will definitely look to Hays.”
J.C: Secured a £45k Finance Manager role
"After deciding I wanted to change the focus of my career away from auditing I spending twp months in Australia and on my return contacted Hays to see what opportunities were available.
"I dropped in to Hays by chance but I was genuinely pleased with the discussions I had with different members of the team. They helped me to focus my search on where to take my career after the large number of avenues were made aware to me."
"Within 2 weeks of returning I had various interviews and been successful in finding a new employer. I am happy in my new job but would use Hays again if I decided to make an external move. I just wish all recruitment agents weren't as pushy in selling their opportunities as the ones I dealt with at Hays!"

“A good friend of mine recommended me a consultant in Hays. I was impressed by the way the consultant noted all my points, asked questions to clarify some to make sure she understands what I really want.
"Then I was only contacted when the positions met my requirements. All the communications were timely and clear. I was impressed by professionalism and personal approach. I will definitely recommend them to my friends and will be working with them now on the side of the employer”.

“The help, advice and support I received from my consultant at Hays was invaluable. My consultant gave me the confidence to feel that my skills were still marketable, helped me prepare before each interview as well as giving great feedback afterwards.
"All of the interviews I went on were all for the kind of companies and roles I had specified. I would have no hesitation in recommending Hays to anyone looking for a career change.”
M.S: Secured a £45k Finance Manager role
“I’m writing to say how much I appreciated the great help you provided me in securing my new job. Your patience, understanding and your promptness in all matters made my search much easier. The meeting we had beforehand was invaluable; you listened to the types of roles I was looking for and set out in finding me the perfect job match.
"Also, thank you so much for the professional advice you provided me at the end that sealed my placement. I would recommend and have indeed already recommended to a few friends to contact Hays for future recruitment advice/service”.
S.R: Secured a £60k Financial Controller role
“I chose Hays initially because they placed me in my present role at the time, but also because they are well respected within the finance industry. I also found the website easy to navigate and, unlike some agencies, wasn't pestered with pointless phone calls.
"It took quite a long time for Hays to find a role that ticked all the boxes, as it were, but that is mostly down to me being quite fussy about what I wanted and not prepared to settle for second best. When the right role came along it was perfect in every way and I am now happily settled in my new job, where I hope to stay long term.
"I would certainly recommend Hays, they persisted in trying to find me the right role and didn't forget about me or push me to the bottom of the pile when a fresh wave of candidates registered.”
