While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Very sad that a recruitment business…

Very sad that a recruitment business can play with vulnerable desperate people needing jobs. They are keyboard bullies that don't abide by the EEO (equal employment opportunities). Jobs are advertised that don't exist, all they want is your CV so they can inflate their data base list. Lies are flung around like candy in that place...they should be investigated by Fair Trading. They have no empathy, and couldn't care less about not assisting people in getting jobs. Their nasty unprofessional bullying tactics have devastating consequence's that not only make people homeless, but aid and abet in people committing suicide. They should be ashamed of themselves. Linda, Millie and Aaron are a disgusting bunch of inhuman lowlifes, that 'getoff' on being oppressive bullies.

Don't respond to their emails just CV collectors

Not sure why I am stupid enough responding to them. Not once did they have a legitimate opportunity. They are just here to collect CVs. Not responding to several follow ups even though the role needs to be filled ASAP. No feedback, nothing. As a candidate stay far away from them.

Hays at Plymouth FAB!!!

Tania is the most amazing Business Manager. She is honest, professional, positive, encouraging and extremely personable. I cannot thank her enough for all her help and continuous communication. I unhesitatingly recommend her services to anyone seeking a career move or an employer wishing to find suitable candidates for a vacancy. Tania is the best ambassador for Hays and I trust she is valued accordingly.

Received a spam message from Hays

Received a spam WhatsApp message from a woman named Linda from Hays. Tried to act as though I submitted a job application (which I didn't) and then proceeded with the sales pitch for low paying part time and full time jobs. I'm sure some people fall for this scam. Just beware, reading other negative reviews about their spam tactics.

Poorly structured in terms of problem…

Poorly structured in terms of problem resolution, local Consultants seems to struggle to understand their role, poor communication and implementation of agreed contractual instructions. (Chelmsford Branch)
There's always issue with time sheets which prolong payment.
