Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
In essence, recruitment is all about creating mutually beneficial relationships. No day is the same at Hays so I won't go into too much detail but everyday poses it's challenges and more importantly, every day provides its rewards.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I am treated absolutely the same as everyone else. There is nothing that other experienced recruiters do that you also won't be trusted to do - great experience
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Hays to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Hays
Get involved in every way you can. Whether that's socially, taking on activities you may not be expected to do (I gave a presentation to 200 people) and don't finish your internship thinking "I could have done more"
