Low Pay, Poor Culture, and Lack of Leadership Connection - Recruitment Consultant Hays Employee Review

The work culture feels immature, with little trust from senior management, poor work-life balance, and a focus on KPIs over meaningful outcomes. There’s a disconnect between leadership and staff, contributing to a sometimes toxic environment. Salaries in the Technology team are low, and many feel misled during the hiring process. Contract roles offer no commission, and the bonus scheme is limited—making it difficult to earn a sustainable income in London.
