04How a mandate runs
A ninety minute session with your hiring manager turns the job description into a scorecard: must haves, deal breakers, salary band and the real reasons people leave.
Our own pool of 2.1 million screened profiles, referrals from people we have placed, and local outreach in the languages your teams speak.
Structured phone and video screens, skill tests that match the floor, and documents checked before anyone reaches you.
We run the interview calendar, collect feedback within 24 hours and help you land offers at the right number.
Pre start calls, document collection and a day one check in. For contract staff, payroll and compliance start the same week.

An auto parts supplier had eleven weeks to staff a second shift. We ran hiring events in four counties, a two day skills trial and bilingual English and Spanish onboarding.

“They sent five CVs for a plant HR role, not fifty. We hired the second one, and she is now running HR for both our plants.”
“Our holiday ramp used to be three weeks of chaos. Prime's pod sat in our Joliet office and sent a funnel report every evening. We hit headcount four days early.”
“What I value is the compliance pack. The auditors stopped asking us for contractor records, because it is all there on the 3rd of the month.”
08People
A team of 210 across nine hubs, led by people who have hired at scale inside American businesses, not just for them.

10Questions
One role. Many of our longest relationships began with a single plant HR or nursing director hire. For contract staffing we usually start at ten associates per site.
Your account lead calls within one working day of an enquiry. Once the brief is signed, sourcing starts the same day and most employers see a first shortlist within a week.
Never. Prime is paid only by employers. If anyone asks a candidate for money in our name, it is not us, and we would like to hear about it.
Yes. Conversion is written into every contract staffing agreement, with a fee that reduces the longer the associate has been deployed with you.
We are registered as an employer and file payroll returns in 19 states, covering every city in our network.
For permanent roles we replace at no fee within 90 days. For leadership search, the promise runs to twelve months.
11Employer enquiry
A senior account lead reads every enquiry and replies within one working day with questions, a plan and a named pod.
