Michael Page launches new internal sales and customer service division
Media Release
For immediate release: 3 October 2006
Michael Page International, one of the world’s leading professional recruitment consultancies, is to extend its first class recruitment services to include an Internal Sales and Customer Service offering in Scotland. The expansion follows the sustained growth of the Scottish contact centre industry and a recognised demand for bespoke recruitment solutions within this specialised marketplace.
Operating from Michael Page offices in Glasgow and Edinburgh, the new division will be headed up by Neil Brown, [Manager] and is dedicated exclusively to the recruitment of contact centre professionals from entry level through to senior executive appointments. Clients and candidates within the sector will benefit from the team’s extensive experience and understanding of the marketplace as well as its capacity to provide total end-to-end recruitment solutions.
Neil Brown said: “With a ready supply of skilled professionals in the region, the contact centre industry in Scotland continues to prosper with many companies setting up their contact centre operations here. The decision to strengthen our commitment with a dedicated Internal Sales & Customer Services division comes from the business partnership we have built with our clients and candidates. We realised there was considerable demand for a high-quality, professional recruitment solution provider to service this marketplace.”
With over 300 contact centres employing more than 80,000 people in Scotland, the new division is set to reinforce Michael Page’s commitment to the thriving business community in providing both clients and candidates with a truly world class service.
“Many major clients prefer to work with us because they know we will put forward the people who are right for their business. Because we get to know our candidates so well, we know which roles they’re going to enjoy and where they’re likely to stay, so both parties benefit in the longer term,” Brown adds.
