About Us
Hays Canada
With a team of more than 13,000 people working in 33 countries, we help millions of people achieve their own career goals, while providing organizations of all sizes with workforce solutions that set them up for success.
Hays Specialist Recruitment Canada is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hays plc, which has been at the forefront of the global recruitment industry for over fifty five years. Opening our first Canadian office in 2001, we now have 250 staff in six offices nationwide. We provide permanent, contract and temporary staffing services at all levels, with over 2,500 placements each year and growing, as well as workforce solutions such as RPO and MSP.
Hays ranked 6th on SIA's 2022 Largest Global Staffing Firms list. In addition to being named a Market Leader by Everest Group in their MSP and RPO rankings.
Our purpose is to benefit society by investing in lifelong partnerships that empower people and organizations to succeed, creating opportunities and improving lives.
We are also committed to playing a positive role in the communities in which we operate. As part of this, our ‘Helping for your tomorrow’ volunteering program led to c.7,000 hours of community volunteering by our Hays colleagues worldwide in H1 FY23, up from c.5,000 in H1 FY22.
In 2021, we became a Carbon Neutral company. And in March 2022, the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved Hays’ Science-Based targets. This landmark step demonstrates Hays' firm commitment to be the first global specialist recruitment firm to reach Net Zero.
At Hays, we believe that a positive culture, anchored in our valued behaviours, is fundamental to our success as a responsible and sustainable business. We are focused on creating and maintaining a culture where people want to work, where they can play their part in delivery of Hays’ strategy and success, where they can grow their careers and flourish, and where they can have a positive impact on our clients, candidates and the communities we are part of.
As a people-centric organisation, it is the power of the collective contributions of our teams that helps us continue to make a difference to people and organisations around the world.
Our vision is to be the global leader in recruitment and workforce solutions. We achieve this by truly understanding the needs of our candidates and clients, locally and globally, partnering with them to create positive impact.
We want every colleague at Hays to feel connected to our business and empowered by the way we work together. Our valued behaviours guide how we behave every day, how we serve our customers, and how we contribute to the communities we’re part of.
Our valued behaviours are:
We’re ambitious, push outside our comfort zone and experiment. We are flexible and open-minded. We experiment, fail-fast, learn and grow. It’s about being prepared to innovate and take calculated risks. At the heart of this is knowing we may not always get it right, but how we learn, adapt and improve is key to our continued success.
We strive for performance, see things through, and always act with integrity. We are clear on our vision for the future, believe in transparency and setting clear expectations for one another so we can perform at our best. It’s not about working for work’s sake; it’s about making our efforts count. We are trusted to do what we say we will do. And we always act with good intent, treating everyone with respect and working to the highest ethical standards.
We support, celebrate and share with each other to create stronger outcomes for all. We have a strong sense of community and fun, underpinned by a focus on inclusivity, collaboration and co-creation. When we win, we win together. We create the space for people to be their authentic selves and for everyone to have a voice so we arrive at the best solutions. When we lift each other up, we all succeed.
We proactively partner with our customers to build better, profitable solutions. We have a customer centric mindset where every colleague, regardless of role or location, is connected and focused on ensuring they deliver for their customer, whether that is an internal customer, a client or a candidate. We are outward-looking so we spot opportunities and anticipate change so we can deliver the best expert service.
So much more than a specialist recruitment business, what really sets us apart is our knowledge through scale, deep understanding, and our ability to meaningfully innovate for our customers. By providing advice, insights, and expertise on issues you face today in the fast-paced world of work, we help you make the right decisions for tomorrow.
