Recruitment Agencies
Placements come first.
We’ll handle what’s behind the desk.
Where the pressure builds.
Recruitment moves fast and admin is usually the first thing to slip. None of this happens because agencies aren’t on top of things, it happens because placements come first.
A candidate call always beats a compliance check and a start date gets chased before last week’s invoicing gets done. Given enough time, that backlog stops being the exception and starts being how the desk runs.
That’s where we come in. Freedom Outsourcing takes on the work that’s holding your recruitment agency back. From compliance and payroll to general back-office support and one-off projects, we’ll handle it all so nobody has to choose between admin and the next placement.
Support built around how recruitment agencies work.
Whatever is slowing your desk down, there’s a good chance we already handle it for another recruitment agency. Pick the area that needs the most help right now or bring us in across all four.
01)
Project
Support
New projects are constantly in the pipeline for recruitment agencies, but rarely have enough time to run them properly. Our project support service gives you extra capacity for CRM migrations. database clean-ups and backlogs, without pulling consultants off the desk.
From day-to-day admin and data entry to job board management and interview scheduling, our recruitment back-office support service covers that admin that never stops, so you don’t have to hire for it.
02)
Back Office Support
03)
Payroll
Outsourcing
Making placements is only valuable if you invoice and collect the money. Our recruitment payroll service covers accurate, on-time pay for temporary and permenant workers including changing rates, timesheets and deductions.
04)
Compliance
Support
Place candidates faster without compromising on compliance. From outsourcing your DBS and right-to-work checks to onboarding paperwork, our recruitment compliance service makes sure nothing holds up a start date.
From agencies we work with….
“The Freedom Outsourcing team have been exceptional from day one. All the team go above and beyond, offering proactive support in any way they can. They have become an extension of our team and have improved our recruitment process significantly. Their professionalism and reliability have been a huge help. I could not recommend them more highly.”
Recruitment has it’s own rules, we already know them.
Most outsourcing providers learn recruitment on your account. We started inside it, as part of Freedom Recruitment Group, so this isn’t unfamiliar territory we’ve had to study.
-
The difference between a PAYE worker and one paid through an umbrella company.
-
Why parity kicks in at week 12, not week one.
-
Why a placement isn’t finished untill the invoice is paid.
That’s on top of a dedicated UK-based contact who becomes part of your team, not another supplier to manage.
With recruitment in our own history, we know how to help you improve efficiency, reduce back-office pressure and make more from every placement. Ultimately, we take care of the boring stuff and let your recruiter’s recruit.
Recruitment Isn’t One Industry. It’s Many.
A education recruiter and a construction recruiter are both running a desk, but the compliance checks, pay structures and candidate pools look nothing alike. We’ve worked across:
Industrial
Construction
Education
Social Care
Whatever your agency specailises in, there’s a good chance we’ve supported something similar.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's completely normal to have questions before outsouring your business processes over to an external provider. Here are the things most agencies ask before making the switch.
-
No. Agencies can bring us in for a single area, such as payroll or compliance, or combine several depending on where the pressure is.
-
You get a dedicated UK-based contact and delivery team without the cost or time of recruiting, training and managing an in-house hire.
-
Pricing depends on the support you need and how much of it, so we tailor every quote rather than offering fixed packages. Once we've talked through your requirements on a discovery call, we'll put together a clear proposal so you know exactly what's included before you commit.
-
This depends on which areas you need support with and is confirmed during the discovery call.
