Our investment case
Driven by our Five Strategic Levers and the structural growth opportunities in our industry, we believe there are three compelling reasons to invest in Hays.

Market position.
Hays has a leading position in the large, fragmented global professional recruitment market which will benefit from long term structural growth drivers and is expected to grow by 8% annually over the next five years to $320 billion and; at a mid-teen rate with global enterprises through managed service provider (MSP) and recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) agreements. Hays currently has a mere 0.5% market share and a strong competitive position with large clients. Our network of 31 countries and 21 specialisms enables us to solve our clients’ talent problems globally and, If required, at scale.

Structurally improving Hays.
Our initiatives are structurally improving consultant net fee productivity and cost base. In a cyclical recovery we will deliver a high drop-through of net fee growth to operating profit, free cash flow, and return on capital employed.

Shareholder returns.
We are highly cash-generative through the cycle and committed to delivering substantial shareholder value over the long term. Our financial strength supports value accretive organic and inorganic growth, and allows us to return surplus capital to shareholders in the most appropriate form.
