8yRecruitment is a performance-based, sales environment regardless of the company or the city you are in. This is not a justification, this is the plain truth. From the get-go, we are extremely transparent about our expectations and the need to deliver upon the targets and activity levels we set. These requirements are put in place so our people can succeed even beyond their own expectations, and quite understandably this culture does not suit certain personality types. We do not believe in sugarcoating the fact that recruitment is a demanding industry. To my next point, if employees answer emails during PTO, it’s purely because they are extremely motivated and take pride in what they do. These are the characteristics we look for when hiring new Recruitment Consultants. In further regard to the culture, teamwork is something we proudly encourage – our Directors, Managers and Consultants form bonds that make the working environment not only productive, but enjoyable. Our Management team invests in and views their team members as way more than “just a number”. Each person in our office is treated with dignity and respect . You are correct in mentioning some of our Managers are in their twenties, as merit is what we base our promotions on, not age. But contrary to your feedback, we believe there is much to gain from millennials and more seasoned employees comprising our management team. PageGroup hires diverse groups of people - be it straight out of college or from “across the pond.” We value all our people and their unique perspectives, and we believe their idiosyncrasies and insights are beneficial to the business. One of the bonuses of working at PageGroup is the ability to transfer to one of our many offices across the country or across the globe. Relocation is something we pride ourselves on being able to provide our employees, and we have found our employees indeed relish the opportunity. Thank you. Richard Vickers, Regional Managing Director.
