Glance View
Founded in 1968, Hays PLC has woven its narrative through the intricate fabric of the global recruitment industry. The company began its journey with a focus on the construction and property sectors, gradually evolving and adapting to the demands of an ever-changing marketplace. Today, Hays stands as one of the world's leading recruiting experts in qualified, professional, and skilled work. With a presence in 33 countries, they have crafted a robust network that serves a diverse range of sectors, including finance, technology, and healthcare. Hays operates by sourcing and matching candidates to roles that fit their skillsets, aspirations, and professional goals, essentially bridging the gap between employers seeking talent and individuals hunting for opportunities. The financial prowess of Hays is grounded in its business model that capitalizes on both temporary and permanent placements. They earn revenue through temporary placements by charging clients a rate per hour, with contractors paid at a lower rate, allowing Hays to capture the spread as profit. This model provides a steady income stream and allows adaptability in various economic climates. For permanent placements, Hays charges a fee, typically a percentage of the candidate's first-year salary, upon successful hiring. This dual-income strategy ensures a balanced revenue flow, giving Hays the resilience and agility needed in the dynamic recruitment landscape. The company’s expertise combined with deep sector knowledge and a commitment to understanding both candidate and client needs underpins its steady growth and sustained relevance in the competitive recruitment sector.
