25 Reasons to Work with Us!
Jul 03, 2022

We’re 25! And to celebrate our Silver Anniversary this year, here are 25 reasons why so many manufacturing, precision engineering and distribution companies in Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire choose to work with us.


And why so many skilled and talented candidates choose us to help them find their ideal job


Once we’d started, we couldn’t stop - we actually had a list of well over 40 reasons why our people work with us before we ran out of time!


But we know you’re busy, so here are the top 25:


  1. We’re passionate about people and do everything we can to get the best for our clients and candidates. This includes visiting clients' premises and making sure we always talk to candidates before putting them forward for interview.

  2. We’re market specialists in recruiting for manufacturing, engineering and distribution companies in Hampshire, Surrey & Berkshire. As such, we’re always happy to share our 25 years of local knowledge of the market with you.

  3. We help with temporary, permanent and contract recruitment so can advise you on which option is best for you, giving you a clear insight into the advantages of either type of placement. 

  4. Some clients have been with us almost as long as we’ve been in business! We build strong relationships with the businesses we work with and pride ourselves on our honest and ethical approach. 

  5. As a 100% employee-owned business, we’re all personally invested in providing excellent customer service – what we do and how we do it matters.

  6. Our team of professional, knowledgeable consultants have great insight into what makes the right candidate for any given job. We’re smart enough to look beyond a CV to find ‘hidden gems’ with untapped talents for those hard-to-fill vacancies

  7. We may be based in Basingstoke, but have a national network so we can maximise the opportunities for finding people who are the best fit.

  8. We have a genuine interest in getting to know your business. We love to come and visit your premises to get an understanding of your team dynamic and work environment, so we can explain exactly what makes your company a great option to candidates.

  9. We gather detailed feedback following interviews so you have all the information you need to secure the right talent for your business.

  10. We use our decades of knowledge, expertise and intuition - not technology - to assess whether candidates are right for your business. You will always deal with a human being at Priority Appointments.

  11. You know exactly what it will cost you to fill each vacancy before you start working with us as we offer transparent pricing and great value for money.

  12. We’re consistently listed in the Three Best Rated recruitment consultancies in Basingstoke and Deane.

  13. We celebrate everyone’s success. Our enthusiasm and passion are simply contagious!

  14. We never over-promise to our clients, or oversell a job opportunity to a candidate – we tell it like it is so nobody's time is wasted. If it’s going to be hard to find the skills you need, we’ll tell you so and will come up with a way to resolve the problem.

  15. We add value by offering salary benchmarking for all types of roles so you know you’re in line with the local market. 

  16. As your recruitment partner, we can advise you on the best recruitment strategies for the long term. We’re not just a job agency.

  17. We meet all our candidates and clients to get to know them. We find out about candidates’ interests and talents - not just their CVs. This means that as an employer, you’re more likely to get the right person every time. 

  18. We’re here to help even when you’re not actively recruiting through services such as CV workshops, information on local employment trends and access to HR advice on employment law and contracts.

  19. Our candidate profiles and tailored recruitment videos give you an insight into candidates’ personalities, saving you oodles of time as you can quickly ‘get to know’ them virtually before you choose who to invite for interview. 

  20. We’re proud to be a close-knit and collaborative team who enjoy working together for our clients.

  21. We know that your business isn’t 9 to 5, so neither is ours. We’re available out-of-hours when you need us.

  22. We’re passionate about our core values and demonstrate them in everything we do. 

  23. We’re rated Excellent from over 450 reviews on Working Feedback. Here’s just one: “I was put forward for an excellent permanent role within a week or so of signing up. Fast professional service. Highly recommended.”  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ from Michael Moorlen

  24. Our specialist consultants are very knowledgeable in their specific fields and can answer any questions about recruiting for the manufacturing, engineering and distribution sectors. 

  25. We truly care about what we do: what other agencies consider “going the extra mile” is part of our everyday service.

The best way to find out how working with us is so different is to give us a call and chat with one of our helpful, professional team about your recruitment needs.
