“I’ve now been at Hays for 3 weeks now, and have settled well. My team has been very helpful in settling to the workplace, and have instantly made friends with those in my team. Working as a resourcer in the Banking Operations team, I source candidates for roles accross Back, Middle and Front office in Investment Banking, Hedge Funds, Broking, Trading and asset management.

I particularly deal with temporary placements from 3 months plus, but also interact with Banking Ops perm teams in referring suitable candidates to them also, as and when I come accross them. The working atmosphere at Hays is encouraging and supportive, as well as having a certain ‘buzz’ about it.

As I work to recruit for purely Tier 1 financial institutions and banks, there is also the element of client-facing and contact-building, through on-site visits to recently placed candidates, learning talks held on-site at Hays by external professionals in the industry, as well as interacting with the on-site recruiting teams at the banks, in which Hays contracts their employment to.

The banks that we recruit for include the likes of Bank of America, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank, Goldmans Sachs, Citi, amongst more. In the first few days I would say I was given the opportunity to land myself right in the deep-end of the job, and interact regularly with candidates looking for roles and new career changes. In being exposed more and more to this element of the job, I have this week managed to help two candidates get interviews at UBS and Deutsche Bank.”
