Hays Reviews

Pros

- Work life balance - Nuturing culture - Good employee benefits

Cons

No downsides. Every sales job has KPIs

Pros

Hay is a company that unfortunately has a toxic working environment, a somewhat old-fashioned approach to work, and management that could use improvement. It may be most suitable for individuals who value KPIs, enjoy verbal recognition, are comfortable with a high level of management involvement, and have a resilient nature.

Cons

May I kindly suggest that you refrain from asking your employees to fabricate Glassdoor reviews. It is important to be transparent about your company's true color, which seems to be one of exploiting employees and subjecting new staff to arduous work. While there may be occasional perks, the management's unpredictable behavior has created a toxic working environment. Unfortunately, some Western managers who may not have sufficient knowledge of the local Asian markets are sometimes appointed to manage the real experts. Each MD or Director is undoubtedly valued in the so-called 'international' organisation, although in reality they often act as mere puppets. To succeed in this company, one may be required to be obedient and follow any instruction from the UK, even if it is not the best decision for the local market. It is possible that some of the older-fashioned decisions may be perceived as being handed down from the King of England. I implore you to take a closer look at the organisational structure and make changes that ensure fairness and transparency.

Pros

Good training platform for fresh graduates People are generally nice here Good branding and database Work life balance

Cons

Micro management from the top. May not be ideal for experience consultants. Country MD could improve and work on connection with us people on the floor, have better or clearer direction and leadership skills. In many occasions this company seems like they lack the captain of the ship and is run by a group of leaders who are trying their best but unfortunately may be insufficient resulting in low morale from the leadership team down to the floor. Constant changes that could be communicated better have resulted in lots of anxiety , lack of stability & trust in this organisation.

Pros

People are really nice. Good culture

Cons

Inconsistency and lack of transparency

Pros

- good place to get your recruitment fundamentals but get the f out after!

Cons

- Subpar middle management with incompetent leaders who only care about themselves and not their team. - Two-faced RD who doesn't follow through with what she says. Over promises her consultants but its all talk and no action

Pros

Training provided, fun place with social gathering.

Cons

Be prepared to work in a global brand hidden with SME micro-management style & 996 work culture. Doesn’t matter if you have thousand dollar of billings, KPI are more important. Expect overtime, daily/weekly reviews and managers coming to you asking if you did your best by not sleeping, eating & resting everyday before hitting your KPI. Expect young managers without experience to guide. Questionable management, managers compare results amongst team mates. Upfront harsh remarks in front of team mates - biased treatment too. Questionable role structure for splitting jobs - by alphabetical order for BD, expect colleagues not helping each other. Lack of key accounts, always asking to bring business in. 8 or more left in a span of 6 months. High turnover - explains working environment. Always creating “BD and candidate activities” for the sake of hitting KPIs.
