    The Role

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

    • Hays is a great company to work for. They care about their employees and the training the is given is first class. You are made to feel welcome and they treat you as an employer not just a placement student.

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

    • Everyone cares for everyone else. Your office is like a family and anyone is more than happy to help you out wherever needed.

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

    • Training before and during my placement so far has been extensive. We sit down and have POA's daily so that you know you are on the correct path. My manager always makes sure I am ok if I am unsure about anything.

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

    • Always busy. Its good - fasted paced and I know what I am meant to be doing.

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

    • They give me the correct amount of responisbility I can handle. They dont throw you in at the deep end but they give you progression in good sizable chunks.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The skills I have learnt so far have been extremely helpful. They are relevant to my course in terms of people management and business management. Working as an employer with a great company and being aware of what they offer can help with my degree and with my future.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Has a good productive working atmosphere but is light hearted and fun at times.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Easy. Everything ran extremely smoothly. Not just as a placmenet student but watching and seeing how other new employees came in to the business.

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

    • The training I have recieved from Hays is first class. They invest a lot of money into training and developing experts in their specific fields. Employees are the most important part to Hays.

    5/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

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

    • I have heard they offer jobs to many of their placement students and I will be very keen on accepting a job with Hays following my degree if I was offered.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes! I work alongside another placement student and I carried out my 4 day training with other placement students.

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

    • I live near work and live at home with parents so it very cheap.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Bssingstoke doesnt have nightlife...even if it did I wouldnt go out there. However Hays always offer incentives within teams to go to London so nightlife is not something that anyone looks for.

    1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Going to visit clients and candidates are the only out of work activities that you do with Hays. Apart from going out with Hays for incentive based activities, however this doesn't happen that often.

    4/5
