I keep receiving emails from them asking me to log in.

I'm a blind disabled guy and never used a job hunting site before. I've never heard of this company until today. I called them to stop, but yet another email from them within a few hours.

Absolutely terrible agency to work for/through, everything is out of their control including processing your pay on time. Only been with them for 2 months to recently find out that the same job role has been allocated 3 different scales of pay ranging from £12.50 to £20. That's right, same job, same level of skill, same agency and we are all on different rates. In addition 4 weeks out of 8 my pay has been late, they currently owe me 2 weeks pay. They blame the company, the company show proof they've authorised my hours which puts it back in the agency hands.

One of the lads is hasn't been paid for 3 weeks, he's in a lucky position that this hasn't too badly affected him, but I am not in that position nor are some of the other lads who are having to borrow money to get to work, pay for rent and food. You'd be really stuck if someone wasn't around to help you out.

Not helpful or caring or considerate to a candidates needs. Absolutely no care if you say no to a role that they find that is out of what you specified. Total ignorance. Not trusted or likeable to work with. Makes you feel it's your fault if you say a job is not for you. It shows they don't take the time to listen to your needs. They don't do what they state they do.

Surprised to read so many negative reviews here about Michael Page. I found them very professional and they took the time to understand my skills and find me a great role.

Really unhappy with this agency. I attended an interview arranged by them and then had to consistently chase to find out the outcome!! I was unsuccessful so they were looking at further roles to which I have heard nothing about. The recruiter was undermining and patronising and their communication skills are absolutely shocking! Avoid like the absolute plague!

As a candidate I applied for a role and then pushed to attend an interview for another role BEFORE THIS AGENCY HAD EVEN MET ME! Went to an interview and I asked why the post was vacant - it was a maternity cover contract which the agency failed to tell me. I requested we met, which I did, then a few weeks later another consultant asked me to come in a register - AGAIN! I attended interviews and they didn't have the decency to let me know how I got on and totally ignored my emails. Only tried to push me into services I had no experience. Would not recommend!

Extremely pushey, won't take no for an answer even though I had doubts about my suitability for the role was pushed into attending interview. Was offered the job, the first candidate turned the job down and I had my doubts but was once again assured by their consultant that all would be just fine.

The company were a sham, I was totally unhappy but still the consultant tried to talk me into staying!

Never had an experience like this and I have ended up leaving a job I was allegedly perfect for according to the Page consultant who would do and say anything just to get 'the deal'

Worse agengy out there!

AVOID

I dealt with them a few time and certainly will not do that again in the future. Terrible service, very unprofessional people, rude, not responsive. Awful experience overall.

I was approached by Page when they found my CV online & after telling them my salary requirements & what I was looking for they said they had a job that would be perfect for me & that it was immediate start. I fell at their demands and rushed to register with their offices, and they told me I would be starting the training the next day (despite missing a few days of the training). I arrived for the training which involved a lot of sitting around, waiting for meeting rooms/computers/staff members to arrive and become available (and I mean A LOT) of waiting around...we're talking hours.

The team was fun, but after 2 weeks they said we were ready to 'get started' to find that we didn't have a desk, computer or any equipment each, so we had to literally sit around doing nothing. The job was made out to be a facilitators job, resolving queries and managing complaints, but turned out to be little more than a call centre job.

Other members of staff at the centre were also recruited by Page and told of several issues with payment and timesheets but I didn't seem to have any issues. Many had problems with tax codes etc but again no issues on my part.

Narrow minded attitude, reading from a script and not thinking outside of that. Certainly does not think of their client's needs in an applicant. Rely on personal social media write ups to make a decision on if you are 'allowed' to go forward. Their clients should be aware that this agency is narrowing the options available just because your online profile doesn't match the job description word for word. 'Another planet' comes to mind. Yes their rules are rules and there for a purpose, that I respected, but don't necessarily agree. I'll be avoiding any job sites they control from now on.
