Jan 13 (Reuters) - PageGroup PAGE.L posted a smaller-than-expected 4.6% drop in fourth-quarter profit at constant currency, as hiring growth in the U.S. and a recovery in activity in China helped offset prolonged weak hiring in its key European markets. The British recruiter, which focuses on hiring white collar roles, reported a gross profit of 190.7 million pounds ($256.78 million) on Tuesday, above analysts' expectations of 189.4 million pounds, according to a company-compiled consensus.
