CEO Succession

Hays plc ("Hays" or the "Company"), the leading global specialist recruitment
company, today announces that following discussions with Alistair Cox, Chief
Executive Officer ("CEO"), it has been jointly agreed that it is an
appropriate time to commence a process to identify Alistair's successor.
Throughout this process Alistair will remain as CEO until a suitable candidate
has been appointed and a handover has taken place.  A thorough recruitment
process, led by the Nomination Committee with the support of external
consultants, is now underway, considering both internal and external
candidates.

Alistair Cox, CEO, commented:

"It has been an honour and a privilege to lead Hays for over 15 years and I am
extremely proud of, and grateful to, my colleagues for everything we have
achieved together.  While the process to appoint my successor is ongoing, it
will be very much business as usual at Hays.  Our strategy is delivering, we
have a wealth of opportunities ahead and I remain fully focused on executing
on our strategy as set out at our Investor Day in April 2022.

Andrew Martin, Chairman of Hays, commented:

"On behalf of the Board and everyone at Hays, I want to put on record our
immense gratitude for Alistair's leadership.  During Alistair's tenure, Hays
has grown from a UK-focused business into a truly international leader in our
industry.  Alistair has set the stage for the next phase of the Group's
development and the Board looks forward to working with him while we undertake
a thorough process to identify his successor".

The person responsible for releasing this announcement is Doug Evans, General
Counsel & Company Secretary.
