Earlier this year, we had the pleasure of meeting Tracey and Eloise from CV Prime and HR Prime. With Tracey’s impressive 20 years of HR experience and her deep knowledge of professional CV writing, alongside Eloise’s background in both in-house and consultancy HR roles and her enthusiasm for training design and delivery, it quickly became clear that a collaboration between CV Prime, HR Prime, and Astriid would be a huge asset for our Candidate Support services.
Collaborative Webinar Sessions
Over the past eight months, Tracey and Eloise have generously volunteered their time to design and develop live webinar sessions entitled the Prime Candidate Series, which is currently in full swing. With their expertise, and in tandem with funding from The National Lottery Awards for All England, we have delivered sessions on CV Writing (including how to navigate ATS systems), Job Searching, Applying, and using LinkedIn, Interview Skills Coaching, and the final session of the series, Your Rights As An Employee is coming up in January 2025. Attendees can join sessions live, and they’re also recorded to ensure those who were unable to be present at that time are still able to access the content.
Tracey, Director of both CV Prime and HR Prime, tells us:
“Our core values align very closely with Astriid’s, and we are always looking to work with charitable organisations and help those who need it. The partnership has allowed us to deliver our training and expertise to wider audiences, while supporting Astriid in their own mission.”
These initial sessions have had an extremely positive response with an average of around 55 people signing up for each session. Tracey and Eloise both bring a humanised approach – breaking down complex terminology, and generously offering their time both during the sessions and afterwards for any questions or queries. They have also offered ongoing support to candidates who would like it, helping these individuals to further their career goals.
One of the Prime Candidate attendees shared with us:
Developing An Ongoing Partnership
We asked Tracey about how they feel the partnership has progressed this year:
“Working with Astriid has gone incredibly well. The passion and commitment from everyone at Astriid is obvious from the first conversation. For us, we strive to help others, and working in partnership with Astriid has allowed us to deliver our services and training to a bigger, and different, audience than we would usually work with”
The sessions provided by CV Prime and HR Prime have been invaluable, and provided a solid foundation for us to build upon into 2025. This partnership will continue into the New Year, and we can’t wait to see what else we can achieve together.
From everyone at Astriid, a very BIG thank you to CV Prime and HR Prime!
“I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Tracey and Eloise of CV Prime and HR Prime. They have shown remarkable flexibility in their work style and have been readily available for various meetings. The Prime Candidate Series has been filled with valuable information, allowing ample time for questions, and has received excellent feedback! Their dedication to Astriid, combined with their compassion, focus, and commitment to supporting our candidates, has played a crucial role in advancing our service. I am really looking forward to continuing this partnership with them in 2025!”
