Employer of Choice for Women
Hays was awarded the 2008 'EOWA Employer of Choice for Women' (EOCFW) citation for the sixth consecutive year. One of only 99 organisations to achieve this status, Hays and its people are well placed to differentiate themselves from other recruitment consultancies in the market.
