Thrive Academy

The right people. Trained to perform.

We recruit care and sales staff at every level, not just agents, and make sure they actually fit the role. Then we train them and your existing team to perform in it, with up to 70% of the training cost reimbursed through Investing in Skills.

Sound familiar?
  • You hire on a good interview, then find out on the job it wasn’t a fit.
  • New hires learn by watching whoever’s free that day.
  • Training happens once a year, then fades by March.
  • Nobody’s tracking whether training actually changed anything.

Thrive Academy isn’t just a course, and it isn’t just a recruitment agency. It’s how you get the right people into care and sales roles, and make sure they — and the team around them — actually perform once they’re in.

Recruitment

A good interview isn’t the same as a good hire. Twenty years inside Maltese sales and customer service teams means we know what actually predicts whether someone will perform in a care or sales role — not just whether they interview well.

Who it’s for
Businesses hiring for sales or customer service roles who want the person to actually work out, not just be available.
What happens
We define the role properly, screen candidates against what the job actually requires, and shortlist only people who’d pass our own training.
What you get
A shortlist of candidates who fit the role, with first-day training already built in — so they’re productive from week one, not month three.
Timeframe
Two to four weeks, depending on the role.
Training, subsidised

Every new recruit — and every existing team member — gets the same practical training, with up to 70% of the cost reimbursed.

70%

One training day, eight people

Course fee, per day€1,200
IIS reimbursement (70%)− €840
Your real cost€360

Illustrative figures — the reimbursement rate depends on your company size and the scheme’s current rules. We confirm your exact rate before you sign anything, and we prepare the claim with you.

The claim is paperwork-heavy and most businesses leave the money on the table. We’ve done it before: eligibility check, application, attendance records, claim submission — handled with you, not dumped on you.
