Business

What led you to recruitment from your background in Business?

Before I joined Michael Page I headed up two commercial entities for New Covenant Church in Bryanston. I have always been attracted to an organisation that hosts a platform where I can reap what I sow as entrepreneurship has always flowed through my veins.

Why did you join PageGroup?

Besides the obvious benefits of joining a FTSE listed multinational company I was impressed by the reality that my manager's career advancement would be directly dependant on my progression and promotion. I also liked that I could harvest the fruits of my hard work throughout the year. 

What is most rewarding about your job?

The moment when I present an offer to a candidate, I’ve been privileged to facilitate appointments that have benefitted both the client and the candidate tremendously. 

What skills from your background helped with your transition into recruitment?

Due to the nature of my previous roles I entered Michael Page with business development experience. Although it was unrefined it was the foundation to the training that I received here which has equipped me to operate at  C-Level both locally and internationally. 

What advice would you give someone with a Business background who wanted a job in recruitment?

Allow for your current experience to be challenged. If your desire is to be successful the only thing holding you back is your mindset.
