Michael Page International confirms membership to REC

The Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) announces that Michael Page International plc, a market leader in global recruitment, has joined its membership.

Michael Page International is considered to be a leading recruitment firm with a strong international network of 166 offices in 28 countries. An organisation which merits itself on organic growth, a strong business model and recruitment pedigree second to none, Michael Page International employs in excess of 5,000 globally.

Operating from the three brands of Page Personnel, Michael Page and Michael Page Executive Search, Michael Page International specialises in professional recruitment across the following sectors; Consultancy, Engineering and Manufacturing, Finance (Accountancy, Tax and Treasury), Financial Services and Banking, Human Resources, Legal, Marketing, Procurement and Supply Chain, Property and Construction, Retail and Hospitality, Sales, Secretarial and Technology.

Chief Executive Officer Steve Ingham comments: ìIn light of the economic backdrop, focus on employment and impending government legislation, we are looking forward to working together with the REC as the most significant voice of the recruitment industry.

ìWe will be able to provide our perspective and experience as an organisation grown organically that has over 30 years experience in the UK market. With this comes the depth of experience from a senior management team where each of our Managing Directors has over 11 years tenure with Michael Page alone – the majority starting as a Consultant in the business. As a business that works with every company listed in the FTSE 100, we are in a strong position to address legislative issues and compliance considerations with the REC. ì

Kevin Green, Chief Executive of REC, adds: We are delighted that Michael Page has decided to join the REC for the first time. To have the largest specialist recruiter join the trade association demonstrates that having one powerful voice is important for all recruitment businesses big or small offering temporary or permanent jobs.
