A market leader

The role of a recruitment consultancy is to act as an intermediary, identifying and sourcing suitably qualified candidates on behalf of its clients. Candidates are recruited either for permanent or contract positions (typically for a fixed term) or on a temporary basis. The value of the global recruitment market is currently estimated at over £100 billion of turnover annually and is estimated to have a compound rate of growth in excess of 14% annually over the last ten years. Within the overall recruitment industry, the market for professional recruitment services is a specialist sector which has developed more recently. 

Michael Page is widely recognised as leading the development of this market around the world.
