Michael Page Recruitment Consultant Success Stories
Vera Tang,
Manager, Beijing Sales & Marketing, China
“If you are ambitious and hard working, it’s possible to be very successful at a young age at Michael Page.”
- Vera Tang
I have worked in the recruitment industry ever since I graduated from university. I was hired by Michael Page in Amsterdam in 2009 as a consultant and was promoted three times in my first 11 months. I now run the Sales and Marketing division for North China.
The training opportunities at Michael Page have helped me to progress both professionally and personally. I have already received training in sales, interviewing, time management, presenting, leadership and portfolio management. At Michael Page, it’s a ‘work hard, play hard’ culture. Our targets are challenging and the environment is competitive, but hard work is always recognised, appreciated and rewarded. Working with my team is the best part of my day, as my colleagues are also my friends.
Looking ahead, my goal is to become the first Chinese Director at Michael Page. I would be happy to work anywhere in the world, which is why I’m grateful to work at a company that offers so many global opportunities.

In 2006 I became the first graduate to join the Michael Page team in Tokyo. I was looking for a people-focused job that would challenge me to work hard and get results. When I started at Michael Page I knew I’d found the right company. I was impressed by the exceptional level of professionalism and energy of my colleagues, which has driven me to do my best ever since.
The best thing about working at Michael Page is the people, as well as the opportunity to learn and progress. It’s great to know that if you work hard and drive results, you can achieve great career success at a young age. Every day I look for ways to improve my market knowledge, identify new opportunities and expand my network. My next goal is increase my client base and become a Team Leader, so that I can add more value to our Japan business and later to the Asia Pacific region.

I began at Michael Page as a graduate and I am glad that I joined a company that is open to teaching developing graduates into recruitment consultants.
Training is structured as the job develops so you learn the skills needed to progress your career. This includes soft skills in addition to technical competencies in areas like interviewing and negotiation.
The people at Michael Page work hard and play hard. You have to want to do your best and also have fun at the same time. I want to be a part of growing our engineering business in Asia so that I can put all my training to practice.

“The potential to work for Michael Page around the world is a great incentive.”
- Jesaline Huang
I joined the Michael Page team in 2009 after working for a fortune 500 company and a German management consulting firm. I was looking to expand my skills and develop my career with a company that offered good training opportunities and the chance to progress.
The best thing about working at Michael Page is the opportunity to challenge myself and grow my career. We have a fast-paced, passionate culture that drives people to work hard and stretch their potential. We also have a lot of fun and a great team-focused environment, so everyone has a strong sense of belonging within the company.
In the future, I would love the opportunity to expand the industries I work with and gain global exposure from rotating to other countries. My ultimate goal is to be promoted to Senior Manager and then Director.

“It is a constant mix of work and excitement”

A recruitment consultant at Michael Page never lives the same day twice. I began work as a logistic co-ordinator in New York. After watching a Michael Page video about recruitment consultants, I was convinced that Michael Page would be an enjoyable place to work.
Michael Page has given me the chance to experience everything a workplace has to offer. The team is hard working and professional and the leadership staff are always accessible. The spirit and friendliness of employees encourages me to work efficiently, to be proactive and have a strong desire to learn. I have been trained in interviewing candidates, online solutions and negotiation. Michael Page continues to challenge me and I want to progress to a management role in the future.

Without a doubt, my time at Michael Page has been very rewarding. I was previously employed in an in-house HR company, before taking a role at Michael Page as a consultant in Finance.
Michael Page has offered me countless opportunities to develop myself both professionally and personally. I have been supported in developing myself as a successful consultant through structured recruitment training, as well as being encouraged by my team to never give up and achieve what we have set out to do. I have certainly enjoyed the team work at Michael Page and the confidence it has given me to progress my career.
