This compensation structure makes all the difference between getting paid for placements versus getting paid for long-term results.

Career Path

Michael Page International's international network facilitates the promotion and movement of employees to different offices around the world. From the outset, a career orientation is encouraged with ongoing levels of progression and seniority. New hires are trained immediately to become superior business developers rather than starting as researchers or merely focusing exclusively on execution. The typical career path begins at the consultant level. The consultant is responsible for fulfilling all aspects of the recruitment process, including research, new business development, candidate screening and placement. Once the consultant proves himself/herself, the consultant is promoted to the manager level. The manager is responsible for mentoring a team of consultants, typically overseeing a regional office. Once the manager demonstrates exemplary leadership, the manager is then promoted to director with P&L responsibility and strategic oversight.
