Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

I recruited in the construction industry, specifically on the trades and labour desk. This included business development calls and meetings with construction clients to get jobs in.
Followed by marketing, networking, reviewing applications and CV's to fill jobs with candidates. I would then make sure candidates had right legal documents to work for us at Hays.
As it was mainly temporary recruitment I also had to manage candidate's time sheets.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes I was given the responsibility of running my own desk. Once I had learnt how to best structure my days and the ins and outs of my role my managers had confidence in me and left me to my own devices to grow my desk.
Although if I ever needed help they would always be there to support me.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

It was a great culture.
Everyone works hard and likes to be busy.
There is also great culture with regards to games and quizzes in the office on period end and a drink if you chose to.
People would win awards and be celebrated for their successes.
There was also days where you can go and do charity work and Hays will fully support this and wouldn't need to take annual leave for it.
