Application process for your permanent position vs. application process for your projects
Regardless of whether you are interested in a permanent position or a project assignment, the application process at Hays is structured in a similar way. In both cases, your qualifications, goals and expectations take centre stage. Our aim is always to find the perfect match between you and our client or our client.
An important difference lies in the way the contract is structured. In the case of a permanent position, you will be employed directly by the company once you have successfully applied and been accepted. In this case, you take on a permanent role within the company, with all the associated benefits and responsibilities.
In the case of project work, on the other hand, a project contract or a fixed-term employment contract is concluded with Hays after a successful application and acceptance. In this case, you work on a project basis, which gives you more flexibility and the opportunity to work on varied tasks and challenges in different companies.
