How it works

Our application process is simple and straightforward. From the time we receive your application to the decision, it usually takes only a few weeks.

Hays is one of the world’s leading recruitment companies for professionals and executives. We take responsibility for one of the most pressing challenges of our time: the shortage of skilled professionals. With over 13,000 employees in 33 countries, we are the top answer to this challenge—creating solutions that move people, businesses, and society forward. 

Our deep expertise allows us to advise companies on a broad spectrum of recruitment and consulting services, while supporting professionals throughout their entire career journey. This makes us a strong partner for companies striving for a successful future—and helps millions of people achieve their career goals. 

With the confirmation of receipt of your application, you will also receive a link to your personal tracking page. There you can check the current status of your application at any time. Your contact person from our internal recruiting team will keep you informed about the next steps throughout the entire process and will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

    3. Phone Interviews

    If your application convinces us, the first step will be a phone interview. During this call, we want to learn more about you and your motivation. At the same time, you will have the opportunity to ask us questions and find out whether Hays is the right company for you. Please allow about 30 minutes for the conversation.

    4. Interviews

    After a successful phone interview, we usually invite you to one or two personal interviews – either via Microsoft Teams or at one of our offices. Each interview typically lasts about 60 to 90 minutes. It is important to us that we get to know each other well to ensure that our expectations align.
