Pros
Extensive training to help you feel confident in your role. Everyone is welcoming and helpful. Best work life balance I have found at any company. Frequent (sometimes weekly) employee outings really brings the team together.
Cons
None thus far- I will update at a later date if I find the need. Some people find the commission structure confusing but it's quite simple once it's explained to you.
Advice to Management
Keep up the awesome team building and communication- it makes all the difference!

Declined OfferNeutral ExperienceAverage InterviewHays 2017-04-27 13:31 PDTApplication
I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Hays in April 2017.
Interview
4 rounds of interviews for such an entry level role.
It feels like you are applying for a Goldmansac career and gotten accepted and ended up in a data entry career. Too much for a company like them to make such many interviews for a small role. If you are keen for it, or are into force selling... yes, this will be a perfect career path for you...Interview Questions

Follow this advice to get your CV to a recruiter’s ‘yes’ pile:
How to get your CV into the recruiter's 'yes' pileHave you ever wondered what happens once your CV has made it into the inbox of a recruiter? You can probably imagine that this person has a fair few CVs to get through, and sometimes only a percentage of these will get read past the first page.

Just started a new job? This simple tip will help you save a lot of time and deliberation during those scary first few weeks:
The one key thing you need to unlearn before starting a new jobSince my first day at Hays, I have learnt many lessons on success and failure, from how to take a moment to enjoy a recent victory, to how you bounce back and learn from a situation that doesn't go as planned. There's one key thing, however, that I wish somebody had told me from the get go.
