Hays Recenzje 

If I could give zero stars, I would.

This has been one of the most unprofessional recruitment experiences I have ever encountered.

I was initially dealing with Dionne in the Liverpool office before my application was handed over to Lauren Corkill while Dionne was on annual leave. I interviewed for the role, was told I had been successful, and the only remaining discussion was around the hourly rate. On Tuesday, Lauren told me she would speak to the client and come back to me.

She didn't.

Despite me chasing every single day, I received virtually no communication whatsoever. On Friday, after days of being ignored, I was casually informed that the client would not increase the rate and that the position had already been offered to someone else. At no point was I kept updated or given the opportunity to accept the original rate before the role was handed to another candidate.

This demonstrates a complete disregard for candidates and a shocking lack of professionalism. Communication is the absolute minimum expectation from a recruitment agency, yet Hays failed at the most basic level. Instead of managing the process properly, they left me in the dark while opportunities slipped away.

As a senior hiring manager, I work with recruitment agencies regularly and understand what good recruitment looks like. This wasn't it. If one of my managers treated applicants in this way, I would expect serious questions to be asked. Candidates invest their time preparing for interviews, taking calls and placing their trust in recruiters. To treat people as though they are disposable is simply unacceptable.

I have no confidence whatsoever in Hays and will not use them again, either as a candidate or as a client. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend them to anyone. There are far more professional agencies that value honesty, communication and basic respect.

Me han llamado para conocer mi situación para ofrecerme algún trabajo, les he dicho que estoy trabajando actualmente. Me ha dicho que le dijera la empresa, y le he dicho que no es relevante. Me ha contestado que si, porque igual me ofrecía un puesto de la misma. Al negarme, me ha colgado. Conclusión. Llaman para conocer más datos de empresas. La siguiente pregunta hubiera sido que cuanto ganaba.
Trato penoso.

​I have worked for many agencies over the years, but my experience with Hays Education (specifically the Leeds/Huddersfield branch) has been the worst by far.
​The registration process was an endless, draining timeline of paperwork and long application forms. After providing every detail and proof requested, I realized it was all just a box-ticking exercise for them. Dealing with Michelle Audis was incredibly disappointing; there was no contact back, and I had to constantly follow up myself just to get any status update.
​It is clear they are only interested in getting you registered as a member "on their books" to boost their numbers. Since completing the paperwork, there have been no calls and no job offers. If you are a professional in West Yorkshire looking for an agency that actually respects your time and finds you work, look elsewhere.

This agency hate contract staff they recruit and think they are superior and in their books its fine when a contractor is working their client customer site if a permanent staff member hurles verbal abuse at them using the C word. They have to be the worst agency to work for who like thugs and plebs and not experienced qualified people, they are like something you get on your shoe

Sean Murphy Hays Recruitment Brighton office WhatsApp me his full home address and postcode in order to settle dispute of incorrect pay with a fight outside his property after his shift to settle the matter rather than address it.!
Absolutely Shocking behaviour in which Hays has already tried to get trust pilot to take my review down.
I shall not be silenced about this dreadful company and it's staff's unprofessional behaviour!

Received a text today detailing possible work introduced as follows - 'Happy New Year! This is on behalf of Amelia Smith at Hays Group UK.' This was an unsolicited approach, and frankly was a pitiful example of targetting as what Amelia was offering was completely inappropriate for my age, and my profession.

very poor onboarding process. asked for the same documents several times.

Is this a real company, I have applied to thousands of jobs never got any response

In reference to my last review of hays, they have still shown zero remorse or empathy as a result of forcing a contractor (me) into unemployment with underhanded double crossing and plotting.

Occasionally one of their consultants will get in touch promising to offer work but it leads to nothing

They are just a repulsive company full stop

Their consultants have no empathy or care in the world for the torment, pain and he'll they put contractors through and there is just a complete waste of time in trying to reason with this agency

A vile culture, consultants with zero care and a systematic way in how they carry themselves as an agency.

This agency will help destroy you and force you into limbo, then offer you no solution to fix the hell they impose

This is not an employment agency, rather a get along gang where consultants will mercilessly hurt you and then torment you thereafter

Go to other employment agencies as Hays are as toxic as they come

I dread to think what this agency have put others through who aren't as mentally strong as myself.

Awful awful awful and they should be shutdown

I repeat this is not a employment agency.

I had the pleasure of working with Hays UK during my recent job search, and I want to give special recognition to my recruiter, Nicola Norrington

Nicola was incredibly welcoming and professional from the very start. She was always there when needed, regularly kept me updated on every aspect of my application, and provided outstanding aftercare once I secured the role. Her support made the whole process smooth and stress-free, and I truly felt valued throughout.

Thanks to Hays UK — and especially Nicola — I’ve now stepped into a fantastic new opportunity. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a recruiter who genuinely cares about your success.

How can someone on LinkedIn be rabid for my CV as it’s a great match for my niche skill set.
And then proceed to ghost me.
It’s hard enough in these market conditions without this behaviour!
Please sort it out!

Muy atentos y amables mientras intentan colocarte en alguna empresa de mala muerte, pero de la noche a la mañana dejan de interesarte por ti y ya no te contestan a mensajes ni llamadas. No se puede jugar de esta forma con el trabajo de la gente, señores.

If I could I would give these a zero star. Constantly reaching out with JDs that are not even remotely related to my work experience, do they even make the effort to check? Lazy at best. There are better recruitment companies out there such as searchability.

Hays recruitment is the worst firm. After many unanswered emails I tried to call and establish a connection to kickstart the job hunting process. No call back, no arrangement of a meeting. So I decided to be pragmatic and go into their London office. Zero help whatsoever. Most of the team were out and so after speaking to someone else I was promised a call back. Surprise surprise didn’t receive a call: this was for the life sciences team. I’m convinced they don’t work or are actually the most disorganised and poorly structured team which is why they can’t handle their workload. Hays, if you can’t keep on top of the people you promise to help then don’t offer it.
Don’t waste your time with Hays.

A bad experience, all they try to do in this agency is to fool you. You are employed as they say but you do not benefit from simple things like PPE, they only pay your vacation. Many requirements, courses that they require but you pay for them.... The salary decreases from month to month without any explanation, just cutting you off. In my opinion, the agents who recruit have no experience, just liars.

Positiva. Muchas gracias

Hasan and Georgina from Hays have really helped me and very grateful for the support they provided

Very horrible Recruitment Agency, I signed up with them and was called immediately by a consultant, after the meeting, I was sent links to upload all my documents, passport etc. I was a bit sceptical but assured by consultant to upload all docs to enable continuation. They collected all my data and disappeared. This is really concerning, as I uploaded all of my personal information when asked to complete their compliance. This is unprofessional and unlawful. It can be considered unlawful for recruitment agencies to collect your passport and other sensitive information without providing you with work, as this could violate data protection laws like GDPR, which require that personal data is only collected for "specified, explicit and legitimate purposes" and should be relevant to the job application process; collecting sensitive information without a clear justification could be considered a breach of privacy and potentially illegal. They should be reported to the authorities.

I had a phone call from Lauren Fairweather abut a job and true to form with most recruiters she was pro active in arranging the interview but when i chased an update she just decided to ignore me no update nothing and i know she received my messages as i can see the notification where the texts were read and emails were open disgusting way to treat people this is the second time i have used Hays and as expected both times were dreadful experieces

but lets be honest Hays managmetdont really care

i am fed up with recruiters calling about interviews and not having the decency to provide updates or even reply to emails
