I have experienced poor service from Michael Page on both sides of the world. In Australia, I went to meet people from both Michael Page and Page Personnel and the person I met from Page Personnel turned round and told me I had no skills or qualifications and that the best I could get would be a basic entry level job (not what I would expect as a qualified accountant with 8 years experience), all correspondence was one way from me to them including applying for jobs and all I received was the bog standard rejection, but a request for feedback or ideas on whether I was targeting the wrong types of jobs went unanswered. Finally I snapped an put in a ...  Read the complete review

I was placed with Michael Page, but when I wanted to change what I was doing - therefore earning me and them potentially less they totally pigeon-holed me and basically paid me lip service.Every time I'd apply for something via their site - the recruitment agent who wanted to place me and get his commission called me about another opportunity. Not only that, but then when I said I felt unsupported and that they were putting me for things that I didn't want to do anymore - after about 18 months of this - they called me and were challenged me aggressively on the phone. Not a pleasant experience.Good company, but I wouldn't trust the people there as far as...:(0/10

I have used this recruitment agency and also ther sister company Page Personnel and i found them very professional and helpful, they called me constantly with updates and keeping me informed every step of the way.

I have been in my job now for nearly 2 years ad still ...  Read the complete review

In a job like mine recruitment agencies are often a necessary evil. In order to get the best skill sets and save time many companies dispense with job advertising completely in favour of using agencies to find candidates. The more experienced and more qualified you become, the more difficult it is to find suitable employment without the help of an agency. With this in mind, it is essential that you find and agency that is singing from the same song-sheet as you are. An agency that has your career goals and objectives in mind when they put you forward for interviews, not just filling as many posts as possible to get their commission. I've dealt with ...  Read the complete review

Having used a number of recruitment agenices in my time - some good, some bad - I feel compelled to warn people about a particularly dreadful experience I had with Michael Page. The reason I went to this company in the first place was their website, which, to be fair, is a great selling tool for them as they appear to have far more jobs than most. However, I later found out that most of the jobs on there were filled some time ago. I have fairly extensive experience in my field, and every other agency I contacted responded to me straight away. Yet it took Michael Page over two weeks to come back to me, and that was only after I phoned several times. The ...  Read the complete review
