At Hays we are the experts in recruiting professional, skilled and qualified staff. Our investment in our staff sets the industry benchmark, ensures we stay at the forefront of the Australasian recruitment industry and has helped us become the only recruitment consultancy to hold the status of Employer of Choice for Women for 11 consecutive years.
Hays has received a number of prestigious awards of recognition from our peers and customers in the industry. We have won four Fairfax Employment Marketing Awards (FEMA) in the last four years, including Recruitment Firm of the Year, Best Candidate Care by a Recruitment Firm (twice) and Recruiter of the Year. These awards recognise and award the outstanding performance of recruitment agencies in Australia. Most importantly, candidates themselves largely decide the winners for the Best Candidate Care award. As such, these awards recognise our commitment to ensuring our candidates receive the best possible care in all their dealings with Hays.
We are long-standing, proactive members of the Recruitment & Consulting Services Association and became the first national specialist recruitment company to be accredited with the International Quality Standard ISO9002 (now ISO9001:2008) in 1994.

But what are the experts saying about the market in Canberra during this election period?
“We are busy”, states the Director for the ACT Jim Roy. “Having sat with virtually all of the 50 staff over the past few weeks, we are experiencing huge demand for skilled staff in a number of areas. With this in mind a clear business objective for us is now the attraction of enough quality candidates. Specifically Payroll Professionals, Internal Auditors, Digital Marketing staff (app creation and project managers), .Net developers and Technical BA’s, Property Managers and EA’s with security clearance are all in hot in demand in Canberra.”
