Hays - Recruitment Agency Hong Kong
Working for Your Tomorrow
About
Hays is a global staffing giant with a long track record in Hong Kong. They place candidates across most professional sectors and publish an annual Asia Salary Guide that is widely referenced by HR teams and candidates alike. EA License No. 78282. In practice, the Hong Kong office gets mixed feedback — some candidates praise sector specialist consultants, while others complain about poor follow-through and ghosting. The brand is strong but the candidate experience is inconsistent.
What Clients Say

One positive reviewer praised fast placements. Several noted data privacy concerns.
