I had a very personable and professional experience with prime appointments. I couldn't recommend them anymore. Everybody had my best interest as a priority. With the help of Katie, I secured an interview and was offered a job in a matter of time.

Got me work very quickly and pay is never a problem which is all you really need from an employment agency but unfortunately SOME of the staff are very rude and dismissive and seem too have a major problem with you ringing about issues and just act as though you should just be thankfull too have a job also the handlers do not want too hear your problems even when they send texts asking if there are any issues they dont reply too emails and once your in a job just seem too stop caring, not a very nice way too treat employees but some of the other staff are very polite and helpful and pay is good so overall a good agency

I am very happy with the professional service of Prime Appointment. Prime Appointments is very responsible to its customers. They introduced my background, skills, and even my personal wishes to the employer in detail. Therefore, I found out during the interview that the interviewer already had a good impression of me. And Prime Appointments also prepared interview tips for me. I want to especially thank Carl. Thanks again Prime Appointments!

Prime Appointments have provided an outstanding service which has been first class. Katie Holmes the consultant has worked so well and tremendously hard in finding myself a new job placement. Unlike any of the other agencies, Katie at Prime has certainly gone the extra mile by maintaining regular and prompt verbal contact to keep me updated. Prime Appointments has an excellent portfolio of clients and for those seeking work I highly recommend this agency to help find that new job.

I had to pleasure of working with Laura, who was wonderful from start to end. Laura listened to my exact needs and managed to get me some interviews within 24 hours of our first contact. She was supportive throughout the process and her communication was excellent. Less than a week after signing up to Prime Appointments I accepted a job offer at a great company! Thank you so much Laura and the Prime Appointments team!
