Raising profiles through employee advocacy

Recruitment company PageGroup has a dispersed workforce of more than 7,500 people in 36 countries who are committed to changing lives and creating opportunities for business professionals so they can reach their potential. PageGroup serves as a “matchmaker” between candidates and organizations to fill every office-setting position—from administrative assistant to CEO. The secret to success for the company is this: The people.

Hiring has never been more important. Global unemployment rates remain low. It’s difficult for organizations to retain and attract talent. Professionals have more job options. In this hyper-competitive environment, PageGroup consultants must stand out in a crowded field.

Relationship-building has always been critical in recruiting. What’s changed drastically is how that’s achieved. A decade ago, a consultant would work off databases of PageGroup clients and candidates. Then social media arrived on the scene.
