Talent development roadmap

Trainee Academy:

The Trainee Academy’s purpose is to put a training and development plan in place and thus increase future potential at PageGroup thanks to a strong trainee team. We aim to have well-trained young talents who will have greater chances for long-term success. During the 6-month duration of our programme the trainees have a proper period of time in which they develop their skills and gain a detailed insight into the job.

The trainee programme is specially designed for young professionals who are considering a career in the recruitment business. It prepares graduates comprehensibly for the challenges they will face in the everyday life of a consultant in the PageGroup.


Business Induction:

In our business induction you will develop the knowledge and skills to become a successful Recruitment Consultant at PageGroup. It consists of different modules that you will complete over your first months at PageGroup. It is based on three cores:

  • All about our company, our history, brands, division, culture, values and strategy
  • Your recruitment and sales skills including methods, effective process management and relationship building with candidates and clients throughout the whole recruitment process
  • Know how and tools - everything you need to master your job effectively

During the first months at PageGroup, you will have a lot of induction training in the form of classroom training, group sessions, e-learning and one-to-one time with your manager.
