Profits up for recruitment agencies outsourcing payroll

Hive360 provides compliant PAYE payroll support and employee engagement strategies and activities, that deliver essential communication, wellbeing support and lifestyle benefits to employees

Recruitment businesses that have moved to outsourcing temporary workers’ PAYE payroll are reporting savings of £100 or more per worker in the first year, explains David McCormack, CEO of outsourced payroll specialists and employee engagement innovators, Hive360.

We have seen growing interest in our HMRC-compliant outsourced PAYE payroll solution from temporary worker recruitment businesses, driven by the increasing and unprecedented pressure for recruiters to balance cost efficiencies via savings on operational costs.

Time, resource and expenditure are always challenging for recruitment professionals, but this is heightened today with the additional operational challenges brought about by Covid-19.

Outsourcing PAYE payroll to a specialist provider delivers an instant reduction in payroll and back-office overheads. It can easily add five percent or more to the bottom line through significant cost savings on employment administration, benefits supply chain, and internal processes – according to feedback from recruitment agency clients engaging with us, this adds up to a typical £100 saving per worker in the first year alone.

Add to this essential compliance with the raft of complex and evolving legislation – that governs payroll, its data and operation, and the associated time and diligence – outsourcing PAYE payroll to an HMRC-compliant provider represents a quick, reliable payroll support solution.

More and more recruitment businesses are beginning to realise this, and that making the move to outsource will not only reduce costs but immediately boost profits.
