How It Works
1. Confirm Your Requirements
- We start with an initial consultation to listen and understand more about your business requirements, so we can help to determine which services would be most suitable
- We define the scope of the recommended service, your operational requirements, the length of the engagement and the relevant associated fees
2. Embed Your Service
- Once you have approved the scope, your service will be launched, giving you immediate access to the expertise you need
- The dedicated delivery team will be fully trained, deployed and embedded into your business – we can support with internal comms and service guides during implementation to ensure your inhouse employees are engaged and kept well-informed
- You’ll have regular service reviews with your dedicated account lead – they will act as your point of contact to oversee your account, answer any questions you have, and ensure seamless delivery. During your reviews they will analyse your usage data to identify whether you could benefit from any service adjustments or additional projects
3. Ongoing Flexibility
- Our HR Outsource solution is flexible and the service coverage can be adapted to align with your evolving business requirements as your priorities change. It can also easily scale up and down to reflect any changes in your headcount
- If you need additional support to execute actions or deliver key HR projects out of scope of the outsource service, we can step in to do this for you on an interim project basis through our wider team. Additional charges will apply – however, as an existing customer, you would benefit from a 20% discount on our Consultancy rate card.

HR Outsourcing FAQs
1. What is HR outsourcing?
HR outsourcing is when a business partners with an external provider to manage some or all HR functions. This can include administration, employee relations, HR strategy, training, technology support or recruitment. It allows organisations to access expertise and capacity without the cost of building a full in-house HR team
2. How much does HR outsourcing cost?
Our HR outsourcing solutions are charged as a fixed monthly management fee, based on the services and hours of support required. This makes costs predictable and far more cost-effective than hiring multiple permanent HR specialists.
3. Can I outsource just part of my HR function?
Yes. Our solutions are fully flexible – you can outsource specific services such as onboarding, employee relations or training, or we can deliver your entire HR function. The choice is yours.
4. What size businesses benefit most from HR outsourcing?
We work with businesses of all sizes. HR outsourcing is particularly valuable for growing companies, organisations in transition, or businesses that need access to a wide range of HR expertise without the overheads of a large in-house team.
5. Will I have a dedicated HR contact?
Absolutely. Unlike many providers, we don’t use a contact-centre model. You’ll have a dedicated delivery team who get to know your business, values and processes, and become a true extension of your team.
6. Will my HR outsourcing be handled by AI, bots or offshore call centres?
Absolutely not. Unlike many providers, we never rely on AI, bots, scripts or offshore delivery centres. All of our services are delivered by experienced, UK-based HR professionals who integrate directly into your business. This means you benefit from consistent, personalised and human-led support – ensuring your employees receive the care, expertise and attention they deserve.
7. Is HR outsourcing compliant with UK employment law?
Yes. Our team of HR experts ensure that all employee records, processes and advice comply with UK employment law – protecting your business and reducing the risk of claims or litigation.
