Why did you join PageGroup?

After working with a global consumer giant and India’s second-largest media house within marketing and strategy, I realised I was looking for a fast-paced, meritocratic environment where careers would be determined by potential and ability and not only by the number of years spent in an organisation. That is what brought me to PageGroup. Secondly I almost instantly connected with the people I interviewed with on the cultural fit – hardworking, success-oriented and still enjoying life to the fullest. Thirdly, even though Michael Page offered a high growth environment, it was still the right mix of growth and stability, which encouraged me to take up this opportunity.

Can you tell us about your PageGroup journey so far?

I have been with PageGroup for close to six years and the journey has been an exciting and enriching one. I have worked with like-minded people in a competitive, transparent and team-oriented culture where the learning and growth has never stopped. I have achieved four promotions from Consultant to Director and every role has given me an opportunity to build on something new.  As a Consultant, I was part of a launch of the sales and marketing practice in India, responsible for recruitment in the fast moving consumer good (FMCG) industry. I was promoted to Senior Consultant within 10 months and was given a team management role to look after the entire consumer industry within sales and marketing. From Senior Consultant to Manager, I became responsible for managing the entire sales and marketing vertical across both Consumer and business to business (B2B). From Manager to Associate Director, I was given more responsibility to launch a new vertical in Supply Chain & Procurement and from Associate Director to Director, my role expanded to grow the HR vertical along with the Sales & Marketing and Supply Chain & Procurement verticals.
Coming from a sporting background, I have always felt that I have played rather than worked at Michael Page during my time at PageGroup and that has kept me excited and motivated to give 100% every day.

Do you have any advice to anybody thinking about joining PageGroup?

If you are looking for a role which offers high ownership and high accountability in a fast paced, performance- oriented culture, then PageGroup is the place to be. If you enjoy building a network of relationships in a consultative and sales environment, then PageGroup is the place to be. If you are looking for a career which is enriching both financially and personally through growth and recognition, again, PageGroup is the place to be. You’ll have your ups and downs, however, the excitement never ceases and every day is a new and exciting one.
If you are willing to give 100% in whatever you do and want to work in an inclusive environment, I invite you to come and join us at PageGroup and we will promise you a brilliant journey with awesome people.

What is most rewarding about your job?

The ability to make a difference every day both internally and externally is something which makes me really satisfied about my role. I feel empowered to help people realise their true potential and shape their careers, which is quite fulfilling for me.
