About PRIMA

PRIMA Recruitment & Consultancy was founded to challenge the limitations of volume-driven recruitment, replacing it with a disciplined, transparent and delivery-focused approach.

Why we exist

A more accountable way to recruit

PRIMA was founded to challenge volume-driven recruitment and replace it with a disciplined, transparent and delivery-focused approach.

After more than 15 years across government and enterprise ICT recruitment, Priya Menon Gillett saw that high-accountability environments needed more than speed and large candidate lists. They needed sound judgement, clear communication and ownership of the outcome.

PRIMA is a women-owned Australian SME. For clients, that means direct access to the decision-maker, responsive delivery and a practical way to support supplier-diversity and SME participation objectives without compromising capability, governance or accountability.

Today, every engagement remains director-led, from the first role briefing through to placement and review.
