Pareto Reviews 

Great experience with Pareto from the start! I was contacted by Oli who was amazing throughout the process. He was very well informed on the position available and what I could do to get it. From touching-up my CV to interview advice. He never left me with questions I needed answering and consistently checked in with me in the build-up to their assessment day to ensure I felt prepared. 5 Stars for Oli!
The assessment day itself was well-run and informative. Of course, these things can be uncomfortable but the team - including Sarah, Lauren, Andy and Saz - made sure the day ran smoothly and made me feel welcome and more at-ease.
I am now employed due to the assessment day by a company I'm very happy to be with and I am continuing my relationship with Pareto via their apprenticeship course (Level 3 IT sales). So far, this has been great and I can wait to get more stuck into it!

The day was a wonderful and enriching experience! The support and guidance from Hannah Rosenberg was phenomenal and I am really grateful for it! From the start, the information about the day and the task/pitch was clear and precise! I was shown what to prepare and how to be successful throughout the day, so you won’t be thrown into the deep end without any help! The actual day went really well, the atmosphere was exciting and challenging in the best way possible. It’s competency based, so you should be yourself, but also come prepared to sell why you would do well in B2B sales! I cannot praise the help enough!! Overall a really good experience, I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to kick start their career and put themselves out there.

Louis was extremely helpful throughout the entire process and guided me towards success.

Barbara was very welcoming and easy to talk to, she assisted me in getting ready for the assessment day and was an all-round great help to me during this process!

Louis was professional and insightful throughout the process and mentored me in the skills I needed to progress. He is a real asset and ambassador for Pareto and I cannot recommend him highly enough! Any potential candidate would be lucky to have the opportunity to work with him - he deserves a raise.

Had a really fantastic experience with Louis. Can't recommend enough - he coached me through the whole process and was great. Someone promote him! Thanks Louis :)

I have been working with Oli throughout the application process at Pareto, and he has been both supportive and encouraging from the start. Without Oli, I would've been lost as to what was going on and how to prepare, I can't thank him enough!

Working with my graduate manager Oli was very insightful and empowering! He prepared me incredibly well for the Assessment Day, and my confidence in my B2B sales skills and competencies grew with every step. I am grateful for the opportunity I was given, and I enjoyed meeting several of Pareto's staff and clients. It's safe to say that the success at Assessment Day laid a strong groundwork for the next steps in my career.

P.S.: Apparently not many candidates follow the prompt to sing - so getting an audience to join me in a gospel song was one of my undisputable highlights of the day ;)

Easy, seamless experience.. Louis walked me through all the necessary steps and the assessment centre was a very pleasant experience

Very well organised, I had Lottie guide me through the whole process from start to finish. She was very supportive and managed to land me an amazing next opportunity!

My experience with Pareto was great! Tom who led me through the process informed me of every step with every bit of detail which allowed me to prepare adequately. The assessment day in itself is pretty intense although you have a good chance to put your best foot forward. All other staff members like Rebecca and Hannah were also extremely helpful and everyone positive to work with.

After months of unsuccessfully applying to various recruitment companies, Pareto got back to me and offered me to do their assessment centre. The assessment centre was a brilliant experience and I was lucky enough to get through. After 2 months of personal struggle, my Client Success Manager Ben reached out to me telling me of opportunities available. Over the next 2 weeks, we both worked very hard to get me a good graduate role and I ended up getting exactly the role I wanted. None of this would have been possible if it weren't for the opportunities Pareto provided me and for the stellar service that my Client Success Manager Ben gave me. I have nothing but great things to say about Pareto and my experiences there and I can say that it is by far the best recruitment company that I've worked with. The opportunities they provide can truly be life changing.

Louis and Josh made me feel very confident going into the assessment day. Anytime I needed to reach out they were always very quick to replying with information and knowledge I needed to help me prepare. 10/10 on everything!

I found the job advert on LinkedIn, later that day I was reached out to by Louis for an initial call. Subsequent further calls with both Louis and Saz were had, allowing me to head into the assessment day full of confidence and aware of what was required. I was successfully placed after the assessment day at the Pareto HQ, which is a very enjoyable and valuable day in itself. Further, I have since referred a colleague whom has also successfully been placed by Pareto. I would absolutely recommend Louis, Saz and Pareto as a whole to anyone looking for that next step in their career.

Everyone at Pareto was very friendly and the day assessment day was hugely informative. Unique and enlightening process and a nice way to meet people and showcase skills.

Nothing but praise from me towards Pareto. The staff are extremely helpful and will help you find a job so long as you pass thier assessment day. I’d like to give a special thanks to Ben, Levi and Meg who were all of great assistance and went above and beyond. They regularly communicate with you to help find a job that is best suited for yourself.

I haven’t used a recruitment agency before for support when it came to finding a job however, I’ve felt incredibly lucky finding Pareto.

I received regular calls from Alex who provided advice on how to go about interviews and she helped me feel really prepared for my assessment day.

Couldn’t really ask for anything more.

Placed me into a role very quickly and also provided lots of support throughout the process, would definitely recommend

Wish I could leave a more positive review.

I've had 2 assessment days, both of which I was told I was successful and lasting over 8 hours. Told I would find out more over the coming days only to find out that the employers had "changed their mind".
So basically worse than a 'No' in the first place and with no constructive feedback.

This has happened a couple more times with standard interviews, finding out nothing until I email back.

Based of everything I've ready here, I fail to understand how it's that difficult to make things clear and not waste so much time.

Please avoid at all costs and don’t waste your time.
Firstly they will make it seem that only selective people make it through the phone interview to obtain a place at the assessment date, that you are “one of the lucky ones”.
The assessment day was awful! Extremely long, no refreshments or food. They have an activity which will determine if you will be good in sales or not.
The activity is choosing a celebrity that would survive on a boat…
After a very long day they will keep you waiting for hours to finally decide if you have passed the assessment or not. In my case I did, heard back from a bunch of recruiters the next day and if I had questions about some potential companies to interview with, they said the would check and call me back. The never did
Also the salaries they recruit for are extremely low. AVOID at all cost!
