Pareto Opiniões 

I wouldn't trust this lot to secure a job for the most skilled person in the industry.... Pareto covers all areas from law, food partners and deliveroo to business operations. They appeal to lower ranking university students who skimmed a 2:2 as reflected in their assessment days...

From their complete lack of professionalism, to the condescending and quite frankly uncomfortable way you're spoken down to and smirked at when answering interview questions and how they favour certain groups over others... This iz one of the many reasons for their Plummeting Reputation. Not only this but their air balloon group activity and how many themselves are uni students taking a year out for work themselves, I cannot in the right conscience suggest them to ANYONE. AVOID AVOID AVOID for peace of mind and go somewhere else worthwhile for professional a First job....

During my job search, I came across a job advert for an ‘Entry Level Grad Scheme’, which I applied my skills and knowledge to. I was then contacted, and on the call, I was asked about my experience and told that this was a SALES grad scheme. The person on the phone acted as though this should have been known, when it was never mentioned on the application.

However, I attended a phone interview and was invited to an assessment centre. The staff were so eager, attentive, and helpful during this process. I ended up succeeding at the assessment centre and had a plethora of opportunities presented to me. Instead of having one account manager helping me, I had around four different people from Pareto approach me with opportunities. They all seemed unaware of each other and what had been assigned to whom. The first opportunities I had been offered, I was very eager about; however, the account manager just stopped replying to me for nearly a week.

When I began to book interviews, the preparation calls consisted of ‘Do you have any questions?’ ‘Do you feel prepared?’ with no real substance or preparation. Some account managers were more helpful than others in this process, but they usually remained the same.

Following the interviews I attended, I would hear nothing from the account managers regarding my status. I would have to contact different account managers, which was confusing as there were multiple and sometimes I couldn’t remember who had given me the opportunity. Despite being told by the companies I had seen that I would ‘hear in the next few days’, I waited nearly two weeks for some jobs and heard nothing. I contacted one of the account managers, who seemed genuinely surprised to hear from me, and then told me I was unsuccessful, and had known this fact for over a week.

The account managers are more concerned with the numbers and getting people into jobs without really asking if it’s what they want. When I preferred an opportunity that another account manager had given me, one account manager began unprofessionally bad-mouthing it, as he would not receive the commission if I didn’t take his opportunity.

I do not recommend this recruitment agency, or, forgive me, these ‘talent partners’. Of the successful applicants I kept in touch with following the assessment centre, I believe that none of them have been placed, which is extremely unfortunate for the statistics we were presented with non-stop.

I can't speak highly enough of Pareto's role in my career switch into tech sales. I had interviews lined up within 24hrs of my remote assessment day, and have now accepted a position in fintech/ cybersecurity. Particular thanks to Luke, Lauren and Meg on the Preto team, and I wouldn't hesitate recommending the wider Pareto operation to anyone considering a career pivot.

Great experience, Kathrine Alexander was extremely helpful and helped me prep for everything. Would recommend for those looking to enter sales

Got a call from someone at Pareto about an entry level graduate scheme I applied for. As soon as I mentioned I’m a freelancer he said they want “people in business” and ended the call right was as I was mid finishing my sentence.Didn’t match the job description when they say a degree in every discipline and felt unprofessional.

Nicole Skelland is an amazing recruiter. I had many recruiters put me forward for just 1 role and then give up. Nicole put me forward for multiple roles all similar to one another and even when one went bad she kept persisting. Eventually it led to me being offered a role and it’s all thanks to Nicole’s persistence and communication. I could not recommend anyone more highly for finding anyone the right job!

I am really pleased with the opportunity this company has given to me.

I have been contacted by Lauren Stein for a job role in SaaS and without her support I wouldn’t have been able to pass the interviews stage. She been very friendly and supportive to guide me through the steps and the questions I had to prepare for, plus suggestion on the research and answer I had to take. I got a job in less than a week. Very very grateful. She is a genuine young woman full of passion and determination for her job.

This company is very supportive, offering advice and feedback for applicants throughout the process. My experience was made great as the selection process helps the applicants feel at ease and allows them to ask questions.

Ben Wanger was really helpful in getting me booked onto and prepared for my assessment day with Perato. I appreciated his support and guidance at the start of the process.

Had a wonderful experience with Pareto. Ben (Graduate Manager) contacted me the day after my application and 2 days later, I was at an assessment day. Ben gave me a lot of helpful pointers and ways I could stand out, and I felt he was extremely friendly and helpful throughout my experience.
Very impressed!

I had an amazing experience with Pareto throughout the application process. Before the assessment day I had calls with Katherine and Arty to help me with my prep but also to tell me all about the day. They were both so helpful and made me feel much more confident going into the assessment day.

Super clear advice, easy to understand next steps and best practice for the assessment

Katherine was amazing! She gave me such great feedback throughout the process and made me feel really comfortable during the phone calls and contact we had leading up to the assesment.

I applied for a Graduate Commercial Careers Programme role with Pareto, which was advertised as an entry-level graduate scheme offering training and development. I hold a bachelor’s degree and relevant diplomas, so I meet the requirements stated.
However, just three days after applying, I received an unannounced phone call that immediately turned into what felt like an interview. I wasn’t given the chance to confirm my availability or prepare. When I tried to explain my background, I was cut off and told the role wasn’t a good fit.
This was confusing and disappointing because the role was advertised as entry-level with training, yet I was treated as though I needed to be fully experienced in B2B sales already. If that’s what they are looking for, the job description should reflect it.
Overall, the process felt intrusive, dismissive, and inconsistent with what was advertised. For a company claiming to support graduates, the candidate experience did not match expectations.

Don't trust them.

I wont trust them to tie my shoelaces. A pathetic excuse of an assessment, mocking and a group of unqualified and under academic kids, all from the worst universities across the UK, they just want High attedance without any care as to your own aspirations. From the first call trying to say things that you want to hear, to the end of the day, you felt it all to be a complete waste of time travelling to their office miles away.

They prioritise certain groups over others. Avoid away from the other fake reviews.

Attended a recent assessment day. The team are full of energy and promise of plenty of opportunities. Throughout the who process. there was never any clarity to which roles I'd be put forward to. Just call after call and then assessment days comes let most know they will be put forward to some suited roles and they will follow up with urgency. Then just like that, zero communication after follow ups and zero opportunities.

When questioned on the specific opportunities, only vague answers, " we have plenty for you", "you'll be a great fit for several of our clients", "You have the experience to do really well".

Attended a recent assessment day - Complete waste of a day. Over energised, people don't know what they are doing, very repetitive and vague answers to almost every question about the actual role.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Scam company, immature and incompetent staff. Extremely long interview process and will provide you with no form of growth in your career.

From start to finish the whole experience at the open day was amazing, i immediately wanted to be hired by Pareto haha. Exceptional work by the host of the event and also honourable mention for Tom Rushworth, whom i interviewed with and Tom Jackson for being a great go to guy during the whole process.

I attended a recent assessment day with Pareto and, unfortunately, found the experience quite disappointing. While the day was well-structured logistically, there was very little clarity on what the assessors were actually looking for, and the feedback (if any) offered no real insight into the decision-making process.

It felt more performative than genuinely developmental — there was a heavy emphasis on competitive group tasks, with little room to showcase individuality, experience, or critical thinking in a meaningful way. Despite being encouraged to prepare and bring energy, the environment didn’t feel conducive to honest evaluation or growth.

Travel reimbursement was also slow, with no proactive follow-up. Overall, it left me questioning how meritocratic the process really is. I’d advise future candidates to treat it as a numbers game rather than a fair showcase of your potential.

Had a great experience with Pareto, especially Tom Jackson who made a usually stressful process into an exciting, smooth one. He helped me prep for the assessment days with so much help and I honestly think without his help I wouldn’t have been successful. Thank you again so much for your help!
