Worst Experience of My Life

Boosubkitty's Response to debasser's Review

Written on: 24/06/2013

I have had several successful administration placements via Hays Recruitment at Wollongong, and found their staff to be very helpful and proactive in presenting opportunities.

Of course they are working for the commissions, after all, it's the businesses seeking staff that pay for their services, so it's only right that those businesses are the 'clients' that hold top priority.

Hays does not charge the jobseekers who register with them, instead they providing a job placement service free of charge. They manage an extensive and constantly changing database of potential staff, none of whom pay them for their efforts, but all of whom want the 'right job, right now' (and no doubt bombard their recruiter with constant requests for a status update).

Be grateful that they found you an interview opportunity so quickly and put you forward for a companies consideration based only on the merits of your written application. It might not have been your ideal job at the time, but a willingness to grasp any opportunity is a valuable quality in any jobseeker and would have shown them that you were willing to try.

You say you knew nothing about the role, but since your interview was the following day, you could have used a number of resources to research both the company and the advertised role. That would have shown both Hays and the employing company that you had drive, initiative, and a determination to work.

If you couldn't be bothered to try, why should they?
