At Retrac Personnel our aim was to provide an individual recruitment service to both existing and potential clients where expectations were not just met, but consistently exceeded. Our vision was to pursue excellence in our work in all sectors and at all times.

This was a joint venture opportunity with Jark Recruitment but due to the cut in funding the business was unable to continue.

Whilst working for Prime Time Recruitment I developed my working style to compliment the fast paced reactive environment of recruitment in the industrial sector. This has led to me improving my communication skills and has enabled me to develop strong working relationships with my own and branch clients, most predominately Unipart Logistics (Kimberly Clark) of which I was account manager. I believe that the key to the success I had achieved at Prime Time was listening to client and potential client needs and adapting my sales strategy to those needs. I greatly enhanced my knowledge of sales strategies and expanded upon the traditional cold calling method of sales using more adaptive techniques.
