Prime Appointments have been our preferred recruitment agency since January 2002. In this time Prime have proved themselves to be a valued asset to the company, offering a professional and efficient service. What makes Prime different is that the service is not about getting “bums on seats”, but getting the right person for the job, and the company, by taking time to find out what we want and how we work.

Human Resources Officer, Large Manufacturing Company (550+Employees), Colchester Essex.

Our company has been using Prime Appointments for the past 4 years for all permanent placements and I am extremely happy with the quality of service provided by Prime. Robyn and Margaret spent time at the beginning of our partnership to learn all about this company and its staff. From this in-depth knowledge and understanding of our business philosophy Prime have been able to place excellent quality individuals into vacancies throughout the company.

Currently nearly a third of our workforce has been placed by Prime from packaging and process operators through to warehouse and Fork Lift Truck drivers in the industrial environment, and accounts and planning staff in the office.

We are a fast growing business so it is very important for me to build a partnership with a recruitment company that I can trust. Prime save me time recruiting staff by effectively weeding out the weaker candidates, therefore only allowing strong candidates through to an interview with me. I would not hesitate in recommending Prime Appointments to any other company. Their service is second to none.

Operations Director, Food Manufacturers (100+ Employees), Colchester Area.

We have worked closely with Prime Appointments for over 7 years and have always found the professionalism and level of service provided to have been consummately high. We have recruited first class candidates through Prime and find the depth of knowledge and breadth of variety in terms of candidates refreshing in the recruitment business. For this reason Prime Appointments is currently our sole supplier for temporary and permanent placements during a major site transition period where we are recruiting over 80 permanent positions and numerous temporary placements to aid the transition.

I am personally very impressed with the professional and polite manner demonstrated by all members of staff. Whether temporary or permanent placements they always endeavour to find out as much as possible about each role in order to provide the best candidates.

I have on numerous occasions referred business colleagues with specialist or specific recruitment needs to Prime Appointments secure in the knowledge that “the need will be met.”

We have worked with Prime for many years. They provide permanent and temporary staff on a regular basis.

We have always found Prime to be a professional and committed agency. Their staff are polite, enthusiastic and eager to please. On occasions, when we have had special projects, their extra effort has helped us meet our clients’ needs.

Our vacancies require specialist skills and Prime staff have been willing to spend time with us so they fully understand our requirements. The quality of their candidates has been high.

Personnel Manager, specialist communications & contact management company (160+ Employees), Chelmsford, Essex

Having used Prime Appointments in excess of 5 years we have always found their services to be excellent – we have an exceptionally good rapport with their consultants who have made a point of getting to know our specific and specialist needs whilst also ensuring that should they not have staff to meet our requirements they do not bombard us with unsuitable candidates (very important to us!)

They have aided in enabling us to increase numbers in the warehouse (more recently in a project to cover our move to larger premises) with staff who meet our specific requirements both temporary and on a temp to perm basis.

They have also provided us with some excellent staff to help on special 1-day projects.

In addition our very specific requirements in regard to our Customer Support Desk have been met for a number of years (one reason why they have been awarded “preferred agency status” for 3 years in a row).
