Size isn't everything at Prime People, a recruitment consultancy which prefers being bijou and aiming to be the best. Staff here are leaders in recruiting for the global property and real estate market and work from two UK offices in London and Manchester.
The London head office occupies a central spot just off Oxford Street, where facilities have had a thorough revamp recently to include soundproof booths, break out areas, sit/stand desks, new meeting rooms and modern kitchen area.
Further afield the company has offices in Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai, Johannesburg and Frankfurt. Nurturing lasting relationships with clients is a key objective for Prime People, and the company sets out to offer a working environment in which a diverse and inclusive team can flourish.
There is no hanging around when it comes to progressing careers at Prime, which offers training and development activities for both new starters and for experienced hires. A competitive range of corporate perks and benefits is designed to attract talent and reflect how much staff are valued, from market leading commission schemes to medical insurances, generous holiday allowance and opportunities to get involved in charity work.
Keeping morale high during the pandemic has encompassed virtual quiz nights and drinks evenings along with regular email updates about market conditions and business news. A WhatsApp global ‘good news' chat group has been a forum for staff to share everything from funny stories in local offices to new babies and engagements.
My manager cares about how satisfied I am in my job
Prime People's training programme for managers includes externally delivered activities such as outdoor team building and courses covering leadership in challenging situations, personality types and conflict management. In-house content is on areas including the challenges of a billing manager, building high performance teams and feedback. Managers have weekly reviews with the managing director and monthly one-to-ones.
I have confidence in the leadership skills of the senior management team
At regular UK team meetings and global calls during the pandemic the leadership team has answered questions posed by employees live on Teams and Zoom. Staff also voted on issues from working activity to wellbeing. The UK managing director personally spoke to all employees throughout the lockdowns.
This job is good for my own personal growth
The pandemic has not paused learning and development at Prime People, which delivered online training for all employees throughout – including for those on furlough. Changes to immigration rules post-Brexit were also covered via training sessions on Zoom.
Companies where at least 40% of the staff have worked there for more than five years.
