Good for workplace
Business Intelligence Specialist (Current Employee) – Christchurch, NZ – 10 April 2019
Hi All,
Working with Hays is good. Here we work in the client face domain. When ever new project is coming we have to go for client location and sit in their office and directly work with clients.

Overseas Electrician (Former Employee) – Auckland – 8 May 2018
learned many skills from different tradies. The work to social lifestyle was great. Pay and quality of work was good. Getting to work in Australia and NZ was great to broaden my experience and Hays helped me complete that.
Pros

Cons
none
Excellent place to work!
Sales (Former Employee) – Auckland CBD, Auckland – 14 February 2018
A typical day at work consists of collaborating with the team and solving hard problems. Very stimulating stuff. I wish I still worked here. I highly recommend this location.
Hays is very adimit in finding you work as quick as possible.
Hammer Hand (Current Employee) – Wellington City, Wellington – 10 December 2017
A typical day consists of going of to work, getting a welcoming phone call detailing the job assigned to me and been given the right P.P.E everything is done by time sheets so make sure your time sheets are signed dated and worded correctly for PAYE purposes.

Head labourer, McKee Fehl Construction Ltd (Former Employee) – Wellington, New Zealand – 12 March 2017
I enjoyed working as head labourer for McKee Fehl through Hay's recruitment. As it was my first management position I experienced a steep learning curve at first, but I always worked alongside my team of labourers and encouraged tham to put in their best efforts because I believe in leading by example. It was a good opportunity for me to share my knowledge and experience with a diverse team of workers. Over the five months working on one commercial building site I made some good friends among my colleagues. The work was often quite physical and offered us plenty of opportunity for learning new skills and exercise as well.
not a good recruitment.
carpenter (Former Employee) – Auckland, Auckland – 5 October 2016
Didn't think hays was a good recruitment as they advertise them self as. 60% of the jobs given to me was not carpentry or hammer hand work which is what I applied for but had no choice but to take the jobs other wise I will have to wait for the next not knowing how long that will take. The main thing is hays do not want to pay the rates that I should be getting when I do get given carpenter's work. I think hays needs to take a look at their staff and look for the right people who knows more about the trades and how the trades system runs. You can't have an receptionist back round with good communication literacy n writing skills etc as my rep!!. For example I'll get a call from hays about a job and I hear the same thing every time. Which is take all your ppe and all your tools. Haha honestly I will say yes but with the rate they paying me I'll only take my basic hand tools and apron. Don't get paid enough to use my own tools and as all chippies know tools always goes missing on site. Thanks for reading.
Pros
they don't care about us
Cons
have to do crazy long hours to make a living with carp rates
Easy going, very helpful and health and safety continuous
