Michael Page Employee Review

Awful management

Support Worker (Former Employee) - Reading, Berkshire - 15 June 2023

Unclear deadlines and expectations. Awful unqualified management. Only made manager if you have been there for a long time, not if you suit the role. You only get somewhere if you are a consultant.

Pros

Nice office

Fun, fast paced, challenging working environment

Senior Consultant - Temporary Contracts Division (Current Employee) - Reading - 7 May 2015

Michael Page very much has a 'work hard, play hard' ethic which I found motivating and exciting. Teams work closely together offering support and encouragement which enables each individual to become the best they can be. Targets are set which are achievable but require hard work and efficiency. The office atmosphere is busy and dynamic where challenges are often set offering great incentives.

Depends on what desk you're on

Recruitment Consultant (Former Employee) - Bristol - 28 November 2023

If you are covering a discipline that Page isn't known for then you might struggle to achieve targets are obtain a bonus. Staff turnover very high at about 30% annually which tells you all you need to know. Page group filling temp jobs seems to be the easiest and most lucrative. Much better recruitment agencies out there. Lots of cold calling and people just hang up as constantly being called by agencies. Also encouraged to lie to candidates/clients, change CVs without permission etc. to get your foot in the door.
