Clear, fun, and informative

I had a really fun and informative time on the graduate assessment day with Pareto. The process from first call all the way to getting the good news that I passed the day and on to the next stage was clear, open, and gave me plenty of insight into the industry and Pareto as a company.
I would absolutely recommend the Pareto Graduate Scheme to graduates starting off on their career journey.

Informative and professional through out the process

Katherine was my graduate manager and was very informative, telling me all about Pareto and their mission along with helping me prepare for my assessment day only a few days later to which she gave some really insightful tips on how to be successful on the day.
The assessment day itself was a lot of fun and as I was successful the turn around from applying to actually getting an interview was fewer than 7days for me! I want to thank everyone who was involved with my process as it all ran very smoothly and I only have positive things to say about my experience with Pareto.

Personable and experienced team.

I am writing regarding my experience with Tilly McKie. she has been a star in helping myself prepare for my assessment with Pareto.

She has made a much appreciated effort to provide myself with the tools and advice needed to succeed in my assessment, and hopefully kick-start my sales career.

Harvey at Pareto

Harvey at Pareto was incredibly supportive throughout the process. He gave me the confidence to move forward with each stage, regularly checking in, offering valuable advice, and helping me prepare for the assessment centre. He was down-to-earth, approachable, and genuinely invested in my success, which made a big difference in my confidence on the day. I truly appreciate his help!

Supportive and Positive Assessment Experience

I recently completed a job assessment with Pareto, and although it was a full-day experience, I genuinely enjoyed it. Tilly McKie was incredibly helpful, communicating effortlessly and ensuring I was well-prepared for the day. Her guidance gave me confidence, and I’m happy to say I was successful! I would highly recommend going through this process for anyone looking to advance their career.

Pareto was absolutely amazing

Pareto was absolutely amazing. From speaking with Harvey who first reached out to me, following application, to get me to the final stage interview to become a candidate at Pareto, to Nicole and Shakira who helped me with the interviews for their clients. They were all so amazing, helpful and friendly! I am now at an amazing job all within a week of the first call from Harvey! Thanks so much guys, couldn’t recommend enough to those trying to get their foot in the door to the sales world!

Very Effective and Good Communicators

After 1.5 years bouncing between temporary work and unsuccessful applications, Pareto helped to kickstart my career.

If you can get through the assessment day, it goes fast from there. After the assessment on Wednesday, I received three follow-up interviews on Thursday, and a job offer on Friday.

Tom Jackson was a brilliant help through the first stage of the process, he guided me to the assessment. After the assessment, Rebecca Iggulden took over my case and effectively rounded up the admin to finalise my employment; she was friendly, effective and efficient. With her help, we were able to secure a role for me within 48 hours of completing the assessment. If that's not efficiency, I don't know what is.

Completely unprofessional

The day ran over by almost two hours and the proposed company was not an equal opportunity employer. Comments from employer included “lads why did you sit back and let the girls talk?” and in my one to one interview I was asked “as a woman how will you cope in a male dominated environment? I can’t be there to defend you all the time”.

Absolutely disgusting. Better vetting required by Pareto. I was offered to be part of the Pareto team on the day but absolutely no follow up was given. A complete waste of time.
