View all consultantsTestimonials I would highly recommend Louise and Page Executive. I have worked with a number of recruiters in the past, both as a hiring employer and candidate and Louise is absolutely one of the best out there. We worked together recently on an assignment where I was a candidate and I was extremely impressed with her and Page Executive. What sets her apart is her communication style, which for any candidate is really important. It is clear Louise is an expert in various sectors. She was knowledgeable, transparent and knew the client brief inside out. I really liked her approach, which was personable, friendly and trustworthy throughout. Louise really understood what mattered to me and my motivations. Ultimately both candidate and client want it to be a success so understanding culture, ambition and motivation becomes key. She was able to articulate the client’s business to me clearly and sold the vision and strategy of the company, communicating throughout with any updates and providing regular feedback. She took a different approach from other recruiters by actually working with the candidate and not treating them like a commodity. Ultimately, recruiters are the gatekeepers for any client search and unfortunately there are too many out there that forget the candidate experience. Louise didn’t do that. She wants to understand what drives you as a person and not only whether you would be a good fit for her client but whether her client would be a good fit for you. Her honesty is an asset to Page Executive. You don’t forget that and subsequently, I wouldn’t hesitate to instruct Page Executive and Louise on any future search assignments.
