Hays partners with higher education institutions as a strategic workforce and skills advisor, helping HR leaders build the capability their organisations need for the future. We support universities to move beyond reactive hiring, combining sector experience, workforce insight, and advisory expertise to shape sustainable workforce and skills strategies.
From organisational redesign and workforce transformation to critical skills planning and capability development, we work alongside HR teams to turn strategy into practical, deliverable action. Alongside permanent and flexible resourcing, our focus is on creating long term skills capacity, strengthening capability, and enabling resilient workforce models aligned to institutional priorities.
Our relationships are built on trust, collaboration, and a shared commitment to higher education – helping HR leaders lead change with confidence.
