A diverse and balanced business
The balance, breadth and scale of our business is unique in the world of specialist recruitment and workforce solutions. This helps to make Hays relatively more resilient in today’s uncertain macroeconomic landscape and provides access to some of the strategically most important markets globally.
A diverse and balanced business
Hays is a world-leading specialist in white-collar Temporary, Contracting and Permanent recruitment and workforce solutions. We have scale and expertise in 21 specialist areas of skilled employment.
Within our portfolio of services, we work on high volume, high service, multi-year outsourcing contracts with many of the largest organisations in the world, through to one-off single placements for SMEs.
In FY25 we helped over 255,000 white-collar candidates secure their next career move, including c.212,000 Temporary & Contracting roles and c.43,000 Permanent placements.
Across our business, we have established market-leading positions in long-term structural growth markets, such as Technology and Engineering globally, plus the relatively immature markets of Europe and Asia. We are also established leaders in more mature markets, such as the UK and Australia, which offer opportunities for long-termgrowth and cyclical recovery.
Our global reach
We report our performance through four key operating divisions – Germany, United Kingdom & Ireland, Australia & New Zealand and Rest of World (RoW). We do not operate a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach and instead have a diverse portfolio of services tailored to reflect local market environments and client demand.
Meeting the needs of our diverse client base
‘Working for your tomorrow’ is our promise to customers, by which we mean both our clients and candidates, that their continued success is at the heart of what we do.
We do this by combining our knowledge through scale, meaningful innovation and deep understanding. We have the depth and breadth of a global network, data points across many sectors and deep expertise driven by c.6,000 expert consultants. We continually challenge ourselves to provide customers with greater insights on what is happening in the world of work, both now and in the future.
We understand that professionals need different forms of support throughout their career. Our commitment to building trust and lifelong partnerships with candidates is a key priority, and we offer continuous support to our community of Temporary, Contracting, and Permanent recruitment candidates, helping them to achieve their career ambitions.
By offering our customers an unrivalled service, we can set Hays apart from our competition and create long-term value by delivering the recruiting experience of tomorrow.
