March 2010:

Michael Page International, Asia’s premier specialist recruitment consultancy, has announced that Page Personnel will be launched in Singapore in March.

Page Personnel complements the Michael Page International offering, recruiting for a range of accounting and finance, business administration and secretarial support roles.

“We are launching Page Personnel because of the business opportunity we see in delivering a specialist and professional recruitment service to the junior accounting, administrative and secretarial markets. It is consistent with Michael Page International’s global strategy to diversify operations organically and invest consistently through business cycles,” said Tulika Tripathi, Managing Director of Michael Page Singapore.

“The timing of the launch reflects our confidence in the level of demand for high quality support staff. Business conditions are improving and companies need talented professionals in back office positions to support growth. Speed of placement is crucial and that’s the foundation of the Page Personnel business – immediate access to the best support staff available,” said Ms Tripathi.

Page Personnel will recruit for finance roles including junior accountants, accounts payable, accounts receivable, credit control and payroll. Office support is another area of specialisation, incorporating positions such as personal and executive assistants, office managers, secretaries and receptionists.

“With the launch of Page Personnel we’re joining an established brand that is supported by a global office network. It represents an important milestone for our business,” Ms Tripathi said.
