      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at PageGroup (New York, NY)

      Interview

      Phone screen, than 2 1/2 hour interview with several different managers, finally an interview with the director. First of all, during the interview I did not get a vibe of great culture in this office. Managers were literally making smart comments about other managers during the interview. how rude. Also, it seems like this is a very miserable place to work, I mean there isn't even a lunch break? you have to eat at your desk? On top of that there is absolutely NO work life balance. 7:30am - 7:30pm is what they told me I would be expected to do. I have no problem with the work hard play hard mentality BUT if you're expecting someone to be there for 12 hours a day at least offer a proper lunch break. Honestly stay away from this recruitment company, there are many other recruitment company's out there who respect their employees. Also you'll end up sharing your commission with people who probably won't even bill. Respect your employees! Maybe if you start to offer your employees a proper lunch break and not force/look down upon on employees who don't want to work 12 hours every day of their life, your retention would be much better. Yes this business is not for everyone, but respect should be given.

      I am dismayed to read this. I can understand how the emphasis on a work hard, play hard culture may be interpreted, but I assure you the working conditions described are completely inaccurate. Yes, our employees are expected to deliver upon their forecasted results, however they are not expected to work twelve hour days without a lunchbreak. We have a large kitchen space in addition to multiple break out areas throughout the office so people can enjoy lunch at their leisure. In an effort to escalate their careers and progress, Consultants will frequently choose to get a head start in the morning or stay past standard hours of operation in order to properly plan for the next day. These are not rigorous rules enforced by management, but instead examples of how our motivated employees take initiative and work proactively. PageGroup’s rules and practices are stringent, however, when it comes to the proper treatment of our employees. Ultimately, we deeply value and respect our people and make every effort to establish a supportive working environment and provide myriad benefits, rewards, et al. Thank you. Richard Vickers, Regional Managing Director.

      Interview

      Overall good experience. Got to meet nice and professional people during interview process. It started with a zoom call, meeting different members of the team and the last stage in person at the head office.

      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PageGroup (New York, NY) in Feb 2023

      Interview

      I had a final round interview with a man named Sean Puddle. He told me I wasn't a good fit because I was from Long Island and likely had family money, so I wouldn't be hungry enough for this sales role. Sean is now at Robert Walters, and I'm sure he's been the same jerk there.

      Question 1

      No questions, just told I wasn't a good fit because I allegedly came from family money based off of where I was raised.

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at PageGroup (London, England)

      Interview

      Contacted several times for the interview. Was able to to schedule an interview with a so called director. It was a big mistake accepting the interview. Highly discriminatory, no regards and disrespectful. I don't advise any individual with black race to apply.

      He barely asked any meaningful question.
