Page Security Advice

Introduction

At Michael Page we are committed to protecting the people who interact with our brands — candidates, clients and the wider public.

We can confirm that Michael Page's infrastructure and data remain secure and have not experienced any compromise or breach. From time to time, however, external individuals attempt to impersonate our brands or our employees to defraud others. This page explains how to recognise genuine communications from us and what to do if something does not feel right.

A note on our brand: Michael Page is now the parent brand of our group, replacing the former PageGroup name. Page Executive continues to operate as our executive-search brand. Any communication referencing other former brand names should be treated with caution.

How to recognise a genuine communication from us

A message, call or website is genuinely from Michael Page or Page Executive when:

It comes from one of our official corporate domains: michaelpage.com (and its regional variants) or pageexecutive.com.
It is consistent with a recruitment conversation you are expecting or with a role advertised on our official websites.
It never asks you to pay any fee — for placement, CV services, advisory, coaching, work permits, visas, equipment, training or background checks.
It never asks you to send money on behalf of a third party.
It never requests a change of bank details by email alone (for our clients and suppliers).

Signs that a message may not be from us

Please treat a communication as suspicious if any of the following apply:

It comes from a free webmail account (such as Gmail, Outlook or Yahoo) using one of our brand names.
The first contact arrives through personal messaging or text channels rather than our corporate email.
It asks for payment, sensitive personal documents or login credentials.
The website address or sender domain looks similar to ours but is not exactly michaelpage.com or pageexecutive.com.
The conversation feels unusually pressured, polished or urgent, or something simply does not feel right.

When in doubt, pause and verify through a second channel — for example, by contacting your usual Michael Page representative on a phone number you already have, or by visiting our official website directly.

How to report a suspicious communication

If you believe you have been contacted by someone impersonating Michael Page or Page Executive, please:

Do not reply, open attachments or click on links.
Forward the message (ideally as an attachment, so the original details are preserved) to [email protected].
Delete the message once reported.

Our commitment

We value the trust placed in us by candidates, clients and the public. We monitor for misuse of our brands, take legal action where appropriate, and work with law enforcement, domain registrars and online platforms to remove fraudulent content.

If you have any questions or concerns about a communication you have received, please contact us at [email protected]. We are here to help.
