    Michael Page

    I used to work for Michael Page and it's standard practice to invite candidates in to check their right to work in the uk (a legal requirement) and to ensure the candidate is right for their client. I must say that they are a very professional organisation and wouldn't normally be meeting with...

    Advice needed please re: accountant

    If you have funds available then you would still be able to pay yourself a salary. Even if this wasn't the case, your accountant should have advised you that they wouldn't be honouring your request instead of just going ahead without advising you first. PM me if you need any further detail as...

    Giant fees

    If you have chosen to be paid monthly then your Umbrella fee would normally be deducted monthly which would explain this. Or if you have chosen to be paid weekly, yet paying the fee monthly that could also explain. Ask your Accounts Manager for more info. Any decent AMs would be happy to...

    I used to work for Michael Page recruitment agency and regularly invited candidates/clients in to meet with me. My main reason in doing this was to find out how they would conduct themselves in an interview situation, give them feedback on appearance and interview technique and fish for...

    Agencies and their PSLs

    Thanks for that. Think I will speak with my existing contractors and ask them to suggest us to their agencies. That way they get feedback on how the service actually is beforehand. In all honesty, anyone can pick up the phone and say they give good service, but doing it is a completely...

    Agencies and their PSLs

    Tried that...although it does seem slightly tacky to me. I feel service should speak for itself rather than who pays the highest incentive.

    Agencies and their PSLs

    Hi, I've come across a few contractors who want to join up to our services and are contracting through an agency. One speaking with the agencies, the contractors have been advised that they have to find another Umbrella as we aren't on the PSL, yet they have used us previously and don't really...
