Hays (page 4 of 10)

High employee turnovers and they disrespect employees and treat them as pure labor. Culture is a disaster and no study support at all for employees below manager levels and the way to survive is to obey the seniors. Some employees have been mistreated for claiming normal entitlements. Take advantage of employees who leave, such as not paying their bonus earned.

Hays Recruitment are well renowned to advertise for jobs that don't exist, give poor rates of Pay that are at the bottom of the pay range. They like to register you to make themselves look good for KPI's but they actually never hire you or call you back.
They will interview the crap out of you and take copies of everything you have and make you register for this and that and say that they'll call you within a few days or the next day or so but they never do.
They can promise you the world but they never deliver as they are just a bunch of sad ...

I met with a recruiter who spent a good hour talking at me and promised me the world of opportunities. I declined a contract as it wasnt in my field (duh) and since then, has been unresponsive to emails and calls. Dont waste your time.

These people are advertising positions that don't exist. How can they continue to get away with it?
I'm ring Fair Trading tommorrow because this is very very poor. It appears to be a common theme.

WOW! Now I know why It felt like I was wasting my time... and questioning whether I was applying to job vacancies that didn't exist. Becoming disheartened and distraught, wondering as to why I was not getting any replies or even confirmation from Hays staff that my application has been received. After reading the sheer volume of reviews comments who all shear a similar disappointment and distrust with Hays recruiters It is now clear to me what is going on. Over 200 people gave the worst review a company could ever get and would have been 100% u...

As a professional with senior experience and highly qualified; I can say this agency is the most unprofessional agency I've ever encountered. The lies they spin are beyond belief and are insulting. Do not waste your time. I've had numerous exceptionally poor experiences over recent times; and now enough is enough - never again. Recently I was approached about a role that I was an obvious fit for and they chased, and chased me. I declined the offer to apply as the money didn't align with my experience or the job requirements. The role had very s...

Alicia Serada has been lying to cover her mistakes at Hays in Perth for a long time.
She will give you a dishonest description of roles then when you arrive at the placement it wont be what she told you .
When you call her out on this she then gets aggressive and tries to discredit you with dishonest false information to employers.
She will lie to you and lie to the client,it seems to be Hays culture she holds a department head position.
Avoid Hays and Alicia Serada.

The amount of fake jobs that Hays recruiters post is unbelievable. They have no sense of right and wrong and believe they're not accountable to anyone.
Here's a little tip I learnt from an honest recruiter: when a Hays recruiter (or any recruiter) calls you and asks you to come in for an interview, ask them about the name of the company that's offering the role. If they refuse to provide it then the role is fake and they're just trying to meet KPI's.

I applied for some jobs with Hays in Southport. The recruiter was I. Touch quickly, getting me to do tests etc so she could put me forward for a role. After the interview we were told we would know a result within 24 hours. After 5 days I called and emailed to hear if not been successful. No attempt to advise me of this. I then reached out to seek assistance finding a role quickly. This was 2 1/2 weeks ago and my email has not been acknowledged or replied to! Very amateurish and bad

I have been with them from last three months. They don’t have good management staff and after doing three shifts in a week I only paid for only one shift. I have sent them heaps of emails regarding my pay but my problems are not solved and atlast I have to ended up with a decision that I have to quit this job :(

They waste your time they say they have work available but never assign you work even if you call everyday and if you can’t make it they blacklist you without warning

These Time wasters will refer you to horrible work places and gives false and misleading hopes.
They will rush you to finish online assignments and tell you that the company is not hiring anymore.
I got really good job opportunities from other agencies.
Avoid this place at all cost, They are a good example of a really bad recruitment agency.

Placed at a temp assignment, ongoing. Over 6 months I received 2 SMS messages from them. 1 to confirm that I arrived & the 2nd three months later saying hi ???? Issues arose was too scared to flag. Did 6 months with this company being paid level 1, but doing level 4 work. Absolute joke this agency have no interest but the bottom line. When I complained I was told they would not help me anymore? Unbelievable so they made massive profit from my 6 months

A consultant from North Sydney Hays called me up after seeking my resume on SEEK. I went in for an interview only to be told I 'wasn't quite right for the position' she had in mind. Also, to be on their books, I would need '6 referees' because I had a lot of contracts on my resume. I didn't even call them in the first place - they called me only to waste my time. From then on I have ignored every call from them.

I was on contract through Hays for a one year contract until recently when the contract was up for renewal I contacted my employer and was told that the contract would not be renewed and that was three days before the contract expires. I was unhappy with the situation so I email my Hays representative. Unlike the other hays consultants, many faced in this forum I got a call from my hays representative, she tried to convince me with the storyline it wasn't my employer's management at fault with my contract renewal, it wasn't their fault that o...

I have applied for many jobs and left phone calls that are not returned. How can they get the best candidate for the client if they don't speak with them?

They will tell you a different story as to to what the employer will tell you. Anything to get candidates on their books. There’s a reason for the high turnover of staff.
Avoid at all costs.

As long you are working for them, prepare every single document and expect nothing in return.

They are your best recruiters.

Highly professional, gives solid feedback on your resume and always call back after submitting your application. That's what they claim but reality is other way.

I was told by a friend not to go with Hays (they have a bad reputation) but I thought they were better than that and decided to apply with them. I gave them the benefit of the doubt thinking they were better but I was disappointed.

I had to call multiple times just to get through to [name removed]. [name removed] was fine, but when I tried to contact him, there was a woman on the other end (I had called about 2 times and on the 3 call, a woman picked up) and she told me off saying something along the lines of ' I saw what you did there, it do...

The company needs to be shut down. They scam unsuspecting people and send them to terrible places to work knowing that the place they are sending these unsuspecting people will ruin them.

It is perfectly okay to not contact candidates if we're not successful. But if we're shortlisted, advised we're "strong candidates" who will "definitely" have their applications put forward... why the ghosting?
It makes no sense and leaves you with no credibility. I hope you are a candidate one day and understand the effects of your words but lack of actions.

The recruiter was very pleasant during the interview. However, they ghost you after an interview despite telling you; "you're a strong candidate for the role" and "will put you forward to the client".

I was not impressed by the lack of courtesy to inform me the progress of my application. I've sent several emails following up but no response.

If recruiters at Hays continue this method of recruitment, they will just further damage their reputation.

Recruiter simultaneously told me to relax my nerves while picking apart my appearance. This was for a cleaning position, she said that people were 'lining up' to get. It's all a lie

Avoid @ any cost!! WORST recruitment agency i've worked for. Just treat you as a number. Try to get every single cent from you possible while advertising as paying 'generous award rates'. I was paid bare minimum and when i asked about it, i was told they no longer will update my details on the system.

You realise each Hays recruit is a reject from the real employment & they know it... If you are any good your fellow “Hays mate” will blame you for his stuff-ups & they have it planned before you arrive.
