    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • Working for Hays I had the rare opportunity to have an internship working for one of Hays' clients, UBS. This was a very enjoyable and invaluable experience and I believe Hays is a very good company to work for. I will warn you that the hours are tough at first but it does get easier!

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • My colleagues made my placement the best experience it could be. I loved my team, my managers were very supportive and importantly, I did not feel like the intern.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • I can not fault my team leader, managers and director. I always felt their support and felt valued.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I have never been bored and always had something to do. It was a great balance, because my team were very supportive and I never felt I was struggling or alone, which is extremely important.

    5/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I feel I was given a lot of responsibility, but a good balance as I never felt overwhelmed or stressed.

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • My skills have developed massively and I am very lucky to have finished this placement as I know I will be more successful in my degree. As I have been here, a lot of my degree has made a lot more sense now and I feel as though I could not have developed so much without these 12 months. I recommend an intern year to every student

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Very organised and strict with data, which is good!

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • My internship was unique, so if you are joining the recruiter intern role then a there is a lot of investment in you. LinkedIn skills are also a bonus!

    1/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Very appealing. Hays is an exciting place to work as there are so many different opportunities. It is not a surprise that the majority of Hays employees stay here for many years.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • I have built many friendships with my fellow interns and non intern colleagues.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I luckily lived at home so there was only travel costs which is expensive. Renting in London is also very expensive and I'd recommend bringing food from home as it is easy to spend a lot at lunch time.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • It's London, there's a lot of night life!

    5/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • The on campus team arrange many outside activities for the interns.
