One million reasons to follow Hays

Here at Hays, we are celebrating an extraordinary milestone. Over one million people are following us on LinkedIn – an achievement that is shared by only 16 other companies globally, and by no other recruitment company.

When we sat with LinkedIn in 2012 to scope out the way we wanted to work together, it was pretty clear that we were aligned on the fact that we wanted it to be about adding value to people’s daily lives and not just about posting jobs.

Most people on LinkedIn network have aspirations and ambitions. They are keen to evolve themselves, their careers and their contribution, so our strategy has therefore been to create, curate and publish meaningful and useful content that people want to read and share.

Here’s what our 1m followers mean to us:

Each and every one of our followers is an invaluable asset to us, and all contribute to our specialist community of like-minded experts who are engaging with us every day.

• They help us spread our message: Our followers are also our brand advocates. By liking, sharing and commenting on our updates, our followers are helping us extend our insights to a potential audience of 65 million people across the world.
• They help us share our expertise: Our 1m followers reflect our core markets and LinkedIn’s targeting functionality means we can add greater value by sharing the right content, at the right time, to the right people.
• They are a truly engaged community: Our followers follow us because they want to, it’s an active choice and they genuinely want the content we share with them.

For Hays, it’s all about giving our customers what they need, supporting them through their career journey and acting as a trusted advisor when they need us the most.

Knowing we have achieved that with at least 1,000,000 people is definitely something to celebrate!
