Professional Services & Corporate Recruitment

PRIMA recruits the professional and corporate roles that keep organisations running: communications, policy, procurement, corporate services and management appointments.

These roles are rarely won on technical keywords. They turn on judgement, stakeholder skill and the ability to work inside a particular operating environment: a department under ministerial scrutiny, a not-for-profit accountable to a board and its funders, a university balancing academic and administrative governance.

Our assessment is built around exactly that: what the role has to achieve, who it has to work with, and the constraints it operates under.

Roles we recruit

• Communications & engagement: corporate and internal communications, media and public affairs, marketing, stakeholder and community engagement.
• Policy, governance & risk: policy development and analysis, governance, regulatory and compliance, risk, audit and assurance.
• Procurement & contracts: procurement and category management, contract and vendor management, commercial and sourcing.
• Corporate services: finance and accounting, human resources, executive and business support, facilities and operations.
• Management & executive: team leaders through to directors, program leads and functional heads.

Sectors we support

Government and public sector, not-for-profit and for-purpose organisations, universities and education providers, professional services firms, and enterprise and commercial employers.

Each brings its own accountability structures, pay frameworks and hiring rules. We establish those constraints at the briefing stage rather than discovering them at offer stage.

How PRIMA delivers

The same director-led process we apply everywhere: the brief is pressure-tested before we go to market, search is targeted rather than broadcast, candidates are assessed against the real requirements of the role, and the shortlist arrives with the reasoning attached.

For public-sector clients this work can be delivered through our existing approved-supplier arrangements where the relevant category applies.
