Cost savings

How we can help
Sourcing the right talent efficiently and cost-effectively is critical to success. For organisations managing large-scale recruitment, inefficiencies in the hiring process can quickly escalate costs and impact performance.

How we do it
Our approach focuses on streamlining your hiring process from start to finish. By optimising supplier relationships, implementing data-driven recruitment practices, and reducing time-to-hire, we help you achieve both immediate savings and long-term value. We also ensure full compliance with industry standards, minimising risks and maintaining the quality of your workforce.
With our proven expertise, you can reduce unnecessary recruitment spend, improve efficiency, and gain better visibility into hiring metrics. Whether you’re scaling up operations or addressing specific hiring challenges, we provide the tools and insights to ensure a seamless, cost-effective process that delivers the talent you need.

Challenge solution #1:
Managed labour pools / staff banks
By creating a dedicated pool of pre-vetted, flexible workers, we reduce reliance on costly agency staffing and streamline workforce planning.
Our best-in-class technology and management ensures consistent access to skilled talent, improved shift coverage, and reduced time-to-fill for critical roles. This approach not only cuts costs but also enhances operational efficiency, giving clients greater control over their workforce and budgets.

Challenge solution #2:
Managed Service Programme
Managed Service Programmes (MSP) deliver a strategic approach to achieving cost savings while optimising workforce management.
By centralising the oversight of contingent labour, we help clients streamline processes, standardise rates, and reduce spend on recruitment and administration.
Our expert team identifies opportunities for efficiency, ensures compliance, and leverages supplier relationships to negotiate better value. With real-time data insights and tailored solutions, MSP empowers organisations to maximise workforce performance while maintaining control over costs, ensuring sustainable and measurable financial benefits.

Challenge solution #3:
Direct Engagement (DE)
Our DE solution helps healthcare organisations, particularly NHS trusts, achieve significant cost savings by reducing VAT payments associated with agency staffing.
This model allows trusts to directly engage contracted workers, such as doctors and nurses, for short- or long-term bookings. Workers are paid directly by the trust or through a third party, rather than the agency, minimising costs and enhancing transparency.
By streamlining processes and ensuring compliance, this solution delivers measurable financial savings while maintaining workforce efficiency.
