Thanks once again!"
Andrew
"Just to thank you again for your help over the last month or so – the initial chat we had was really useful and I genuinely felt that you listened to what I asked for in terms of finding relevant roles, rather than trying to force roles upon me as I have experienced elsewhere.
Thanks again for your help,"
Carl
"Michael Page was the first agency I contacted for both my business moves - from practice to industry and then recently for a new role in industry. On both occasions they have stood up to their excellent reputation and have acted in an extremely professional, kind and respectful manner. I believe Michael Page have the best positions and candidates and I would approach them as my first choice in the future both for my recruitment needs and to source quality finance staff. Helen, you in particular have been extremely helpful throughout my recent job search, made yourself available on my scarce days off and ensured I found a role I was happy with.
Thank you very much for your assistance!"
Helen
"Overall, I have been extremely pleased with the level of service provided by Michael Page and delighted with the outcome of a permanent position with M&B. The proactive approach adopted by many of the people that I have had dealings with has been impressive and contrasts sharply with the service I have had from other recruitment consultants, both in pursuing a role at this time and in the past.
My main contact was Nick Pearce. I found Nick to be extremely personable and supportive.
Michael Page as an organisation have impressed me with the diversity of the client base that they service and the proactive nature and professionalism of their staff. I felt prepared for each M&B interview and was able to explore opportunities with other prestigious companies in the Midlands area."

"Ed Starkey contacted me about a job at Intier Automotive. Ed was very honest about the challenges being faced at the company and this thorough briefing on the company was ideal preparation for the interview.
Have now been in the role for around 7 months and would like to thank Ed for his assistance and support in securing this position.
The company had previously used the services of an external tax consultant and because they were remote from the business, many tax risks and compliance issues were apparent. This was a perfect example of the benefits of employing in house tax people."
John
"I liked the mentoring process because I often feel that when a person is looking for a job they are not fully aware of what is out there. This is certainly how I felt when I started looking. I knew that in my current job I wasn't fulfilling my potential as I'd lost interest in audit as I'd being doing it for so long. The problem I had is that I knew from working with various clients that I'd always liked the idea of industry and putting the figures together had always left me with a sense of satisfaction but I also knew that there would be a wide variety of jobs out there that I didn't even know existed. Helen really helped me to focus on want I wanted from my job, taking into account my various lists of criteria.
It is always a scary process moving into the unknown and Helen was always approachable and kept in touch; I liked having one main contact who would guide me through. It also helped that when I was unsure of a job that I could speak to her honestly without feeling any pressure from her to pursue the interview."
Kate
"I signed up with all of the major Birmingham based recruitment agencies and out of the countless agents I dealt with Helen was one of the few who actually listened to my specific job requirements. Helen ensured that roles presented to me met my criteria before presenting them. I regard Helen as an extremely professional individual who would go out of their way to ensure that my needs were met. I look forward to working with Helen again in the future and I will be sure to pass any referrals on to her."
James
"Through Michael Page, I found a great contact who really listened to my varied and sometimes changing desires in terms of a job and really made an effort to keep me up to date with developments with any applications / new opportunities. I would highly recommend Helen to anyone who is thinking about a change in employer."
Debbie
"I just wanted to take the time to acknowledge the excellent service that Lucy has provided to me over the course of the past few months.
Unfortunately (for me!) I worked for a company which went into administration recently and since then Lucy has been invaluable in her approach to my job search requirements. Although I have taken a role that was made available through my own network, Lucy was able to provide very objective and sound advice throughout the process.....something which is a rarity in the world of recruitment in my experience. Despite there being no immediate fee opportunity for Lucy she was very patient and willing to provide a first rate service and I genuinely feel that she always put me first in terms of listening to my exact requirements. Listening is a skill which unfortunately not many recruitment agents have and I have to say that Lucy is a refreshing break from the norm.
Based on my experience I felt it would be appropriate to put together a short email to thank her and bring to your attention the great job she does."
"After using other agencies and being sent to countless interviews for roles for which I was either too qualified or under experienced, I eventually contacted Michael Page. I have used the agency on two separate occasions and have been successful on both occasions. I feel that Michael Page builds up a good relationship with both candidates and clients that enables them to ensure candidates are only sent to roles that fit the requirements of both the candidate and client.
All of the staff that I have spoken to at Michael Page are helpful and friendly and my consultant offered me a lot of advice and feedback that was honest and helpful throughout the recruitment process. He was readily available and willing to talk to me and always made sure I was kept up-to-date. If I require the services of a recruitment agency in the future Michael Page will definitely be my fist port of call."
Suzanne
"I have recently been placed in a role by Michael Page and would highly recommend them. I registered online and was contacted within a few days to arrange a visit to their offices. I was very impressed with the welcome I got when I went to visit their offices and register in person. I met several consultants during the visit and each one took the time to see me individually, taking note of my requirements, experience and what sort of roles I was looking for.
I mainly dealt with Habiba Khatoon who helped place me in my current role. Habiba was brilliant and did a really good job at keeping me informed about all of the roles I was applying for. Habiba was also extremely friendly and I was able to give both positive and negative feedback on all of the roles she presented to me. I never once felt pressurized into applying for something that I wasn't keen on.
Overall I am very impressed with the service I received from Michael Page, and in particular Habiba, and I'm thrilled with my new role."
Kate
"I have been delighted with the service I have received from Michael Page from the moment I registered with them. They have maintained a friendly but professional approach whenever we have been in touch. Indeed, whenever I called Michael Page the consultants all knew who I was.
My consultant Habiba has been exceptional in every sense. She has been fantastic, not only finding me the right roles but also prepping me prior to interview, always giving me as much helpful information and guidance as possible. She has always made herself available, at sometimes short notice, just so I did not miss out on vital guidance or advice, provided me with prompt feedback and kept in constant contact making the whole process as smooth as possible.
To conclude, it’s been a pleasure to have worked with Michael page and Habiba in particular and I would recommend you to anyone."
