A career in recruitment…
It can take you anywhere you want to go
When you join Hays, your opportunities stretch far and wide. Our training is renowned as the best in the industry - we set you up to succeed from day one. So confident we are in our ability to help you reach your potential that we offer our consultants the chance to work overseas.
Many of our recruitment consultants and support staff have been seconded or transferred overseas after beginning their careers in Australia and New Zealand. At Hays, we encourage global career progression, with opportunities to work overseas available to those who demonstrate exceptional performance after an initial qualifying period.
One of the biggest advantages in choosing Hays is that your career is portable.
With 270 offices across 31 countries, we can offer you global opportunities. Indeed many of our consultants have already benefited from our international network. Here is an example from one of our employees:
Brisbane to Dublin to Brisbane
"I have taken advantage of Hays' global presence by working as a Manager overseas. I commenced with Hays as a Trainee in 1998 in Brisbane and was rewarded for growing my business with a promotion to Senior Consultant the following year. Soon after I became a Manager and then seized the opportunity to travel and work as a Business Manager for Hays in Dublin. Upon my return to Australia, I was promoted to Regional Director.
"I never imagined one employer could take me halfway around the world, allowing me to develop my career to director level while enjoying the benefits of travel. One of the best things about Hays is the people - the team culture is a great way to spend the day, and I've made some fantastic life-long friends. Due to the phenomenal growth, the opportunities I've had have constantly challenged me. After 11 years, the days still fly... that really says something!"
UK to Auckland
"I joined Hays back in 1996 in the UK, with 2 years prior experience. I was soon promoted to Manager, then Business Manager, then Business Director, focusing on major account development. In 2000 I was appointed to the Board of Hays IT in the UK as Business Development Director. I returned home to New Zealand in 2001 to take the helm of the New Zealand operation as Regional and now Managing Director.
"I am extremely passionate about my role at Hays, and incredibly ambitious about what is in store for all employees in the years ahead. We have only touched on what can be achieved here as a business."
UK to Melbourne to Hong Kong
"I have set up businesses in four different cultures since joining Hays as a graduate in the UK in 1998. Having relocated to Melbourne in 2002 as a Section Manager, I climbed my way to Senior Manager before becoming Regional Director for Hays in Hong Kong in 2006. I am responsible for the selection business in the rapidly expanding Chinese market and in charge of all recruitment, reporting and compliance across the Hays brands in Hong Kong.
"Hays has given me the opportunity to live and work in diverse locations whilst accelerating my career to run all our specialist brands across Hong Kong and Greater China."
