Kickstart Your Sales Career

We have a
90% Success
rate

Placing graduates and trainees into their perfect sales or recruitment roles is our speciality.

As market leaders in this space, we’ve achieved a 90% success rate since founding in 2014.

Prime is nowhere near what a traditional recruitment agency looks like. We understand the stereotypical pitfalls that come with partnering with a recruiter. Finding a new opportunity should be exciting, which is why our process has been tailored to leave you feeling confident that we can help you find the right career.

Are you a graduate or trainee currently looking for your dream career? Well, you’ve come to the right place.

01

Candidate focussed approach

Our approach is centred around getting an in-depth understanding of your soft skills and technical skills, so we can successfully match you to a company that will allow you to thrive and achieve your goals.

02

Unique training process

Our training process makes us unique, equipping you with the essential skills to succeed in your first role. Our award-winning training is delivered by industry experts and covers in-depth interview preparation as well as one-on-one support throughout the first 12 months in your new role.

03

Prestigious Partners

We currently represent some of the best known and innovative companies across the UK, all of whom are currently recruiting graduates and trainees for their sales teams.

The Prime
Process

  • 1

    SOURCE

    Our process begins with a simple phone call. Whether we have found you ourselves or you’ve submitted your CV to us, we will schedule a conversation to understand what you want from a career. We’ll also introduce ourselves and talk about our process, with a specific focus on our training. If the first stage goes well, we will invite you for a face-to-face meeting.

  • 2

    FACE TO FACE

    Depending on your location, you’ll be invited to meet a team member at either our Manchester, London office or even a Zoom Call. This team member will be your mentor throughout this process and provide you with all the necessary preparation. Our face-to-face meetings are intentionally more informal, as we want you to feel comfortable talking to us. This approach gives us the best chance to get to know you better and figure out if we are the best agency to support you. If you are successful at this stage, you will be invited to one of our free training days.

    TRAINING DAY

    The Prime Training Day is our unique selling point and is what makes our process so unique. Unlike ‘assessment days’, our training day allows you to learn the skills needed to thrive in a sales role. Our fantastic team host each session, including our co-founders: Apprentice 2013 finalist Neil Clough and The British Excellence in Sales Management Awards 2018 Sales Trainer of the Year Nicole Plinston.

    Our Training Days are incredibly helpful as we get to see your talent, you get to enhance your skillset and give you the opportunity to meet potential employers who are actively recruiting. All of our sessions are group-based and provide you with in-depth training specific to the roles you are looking for.

    Many of our clients recruit straight out of our training days. Some may invite you to an interview. If you make it into the “Prime Zone”, we will put you in front of numerous successful clients, giving you the best chances of landing your first role.

    If you don’t make it to the “Prime Zone”, – please don’t worry! If we think you would still be a great fit for one of our clients, we will invite you back for further training. However, if you are unsuccessful after this stage, you would have benefited from our team’s tailored training.

    INTERVIEW PREP / TRAINING PLACEMENT

    Training and development does not stop at our Prime Training Days. If successful, we will invite you back in for interview preparation and help you nail your interviews to land your dream role. We have a 90% success rate in placing candidates, so we’re confident you will shine when meeting our clients.

    ONGOING TRAINING & SUPPORT

    Starting a new career can be daunting, which is why many of the companies we work with will invest in our Prime Sales Academy—allowing you to have 12 months of award-winning training to support you through your first 12 months. This way, you can have the confidence that you are starting a role with great foundations and a supportive team to guide you.

Thea Enright

“I had the pleasure of working with Prime. They helped me prepare for my first job interview in sales. They were very attentive, supportive and encouraging from the first interaction I had with them. They found a job which suited my personality, strengths, weaknesses and goals, which I succeeded in due to their help and encouragement. They were very supportive throughout the whole process of prior, during and after being successful in the role. This was quite an overwhelming experience, which Prime helped me feel calm and confident about. I would highly recommend finding a job with Prime.”

Jack Kingham

“Throughout my whole journey with This is Prime, they continuously provided excellent support and mentorship, helping guide me through every step of the process! They were consistently informative and kept me up to date at all times whilst continuously providing me with training and resources to ensure I was prepared and ready for every stage I went into. A particular and special mention has to go to Liam! He always brought this positive energy and consistently went the extra mile to support and reassure me with any questions and preparation I had. If any graduates are interested or looking for a role in Sales, I thoroughly recommend contacting Liam and starting your journey with This is Prime!”

“I would like to take the time to recommend anyone in their job search to consider This Is Prime as a source to help them find the right fit for them.

They both diligently prepped me for my interviews and helped me achieve a job role which was set out for graduates however even with no degree just based of my experience they were able to find the perfect job role. From the very start with the initial interviews all the way through the training process to the final interview I was given the best support!”
