I've done projects for them here, always been treated respectfully, always got good rates, agents worked to get extensions, agent rang up or visited quite often and took us out for meals. Never really had a problem with them, maybe it's just Hays UK...

I worked through them a few years ago - the client company puled the plug on the project and served notice to all the contractors. A few months later I got a call from the pimp asking how the contract was going. Not exactly switched on!

Sadly I didn't get that particular memo. But Hays are basically sh!te. If they merged with Wipro, nobody would notice the difference.Originally posted by clearedforlanding View PostShagged one of their agents when I contracted through them, she was great in the sack. It was the only positive thing about the whole experience.
Mostly it was Hays ******* me. As has been said before, Hays are the Hitler youth of the recruitment industry. It is a factory.
