Any experiences with Hays IT?

I worked through them for two and a half years with one client. They were the preferred supplier and were pretty good, chasing the client when renewal came up etc. They paid on time and I never had any problems. When it was time to leave, though, I thought they were pretty poor.Comment

Pondlife, expat and Mordac - are the questions you've posed related just to Hays or are they more of a general rant against agents?
I have no experience of Hays but might have a possible contract with them soon: if it comes through I think I'll take it. So no, nothing against them.Comment

I've never contracted through Hays, but from what I can gather from those who have, they're not one of the best or one of the worst.His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment

The Revenue are always sending me official documents and stuff for contractors managed by Hays, mistakenly saying that they work for my company. I've complained, they investigated, and concluded that there was not a problem. I've never known a commercial company to display such incompetence. But we is talking cushy public sector here.Comment

Personally, I would not touch them. I worked through them on a 'temp' basis (a long story why I did that for another thread maybe) and eneded up getting shafted on their 'holiday' arrangements. Thing is, you have to give 2 weeks notice to take a holiday (pay of which 7% is deducted before you go) but they gave me a weeks notice to quit! So I took the rest of the time off and got some time back.
But for me, if it Hays IT it will be a case of 'Just say no'.Comment
