Do I have to pay anything for Hays' service?
No. For you as a candidate, our entire service is free of charge. This applies from the first consultation, through the placement, right up to the signing of the contract. We are paid exclusively by the companies that engage us with the search.
What happens once I submit my CV to Hays?
As soon as your documents reach us, our engineering specialists carefully review your profile and add it to our talent pool. As soon as a role that matches your professional background comes up, we actively get in touch with you. In a personal conversation we then get to know you better – your previous projects, your ambitions and the environment in which you want to develop further. This is how we ensure that the position we suggest truly fits you.
Can I get in touch even if I am not actively looking for a job right now?
Definitely. Especially in engineering, many exciting positions are filled directly through networks and never appear on a public platform. If your profile is on file with us, we only get in touch with you when there is really something suitable for you.
