The Conservation Volunteers recently engaged Carl Walker at Michael Page International recruitment in the task of finding an Interim
Procurement Consultant who could help our organisation carry out a strategic procurement review. Carl showed great professionalism and attention to detail throughout. I was very impressed with his knowledge of the sector and with the calibre of the candidates that he forwarded on to me. We did also consult an alternative agency, but I found both the calibre of the candidates and the service provided by Carl to be superior.
TCV have recruited a candidate who we are extremely pleased with, and we would be more than happy to work with Carl again should the need arise.
Head of Group Finance (Charity)
Director of Commercial Services (Local Government)
What our customers say...
Chesterfield Royal Hospital initially advertised for the
post of Procurement Category Manager via NHS Jobs, this process did not prove successful. Only candidates from Michael Page Procurement were given second interviews. I have always found Michael Page to provide a consultative service as a result of them knowing their area of expertise.
