The problem we solve

The four problems UK hiring leaves you with.

Most growing UK businesses feel all four. We offer one solution that addresses them all.

Hiring problems

It's the same trade-off every time you hire. The candidates you actually want sit above budget, and once you add NI, pensions and overheads, real headcount runs 30 to 40% over salary. Hiring drags on for 6 to 12 weeks while momentum stalls. And the employment risk, from IR35 to notice periods to compliance, lands entirely on you.

Our solution

One solution, not four. We find skilled, UK-aligned professionals based in South Africa, employ them ourselves, and place them in your team for one fixed monthly fee. The person you actually want, in budget, ready in days not months, and the employment risk sits with us, not you.

Our hiring models

Two ways to build your team.
Both fully integrated.

Both models give you a skilled, UK-aligned professional based in South Africa. We find them and employ them. You manage the work.

FLEX

Fractional team members

A dedicated professional from 20 hours a month, on a rolling monthly contract. No long-term commitment. You direct the work, we handle everything else.

Best for

Businesses with part-time or variable support needs

  • Commitment: rolling monthly, cancel with one month's notice
  • Speed: matched profiles delivered within 48 hours
  • Cost: a more sustainable cost base than an equivalent UK part-time hire
  • Roles: support type roles in various fields
Explore FLEX
DIRECT

Full-time team members

A full-time professional recruited according to your brief, employed by us and assigned exclusively to you. You manage the work. We handle HR, payroll, and compliance.

Best for

Businesses building permanent headcount and teams

  • Commitment: full-time roles, one calendar month's notice to terminate
  • Speed: matched profiles delivered within two weeks
  • Cost: a more sustainable cost than a UK equivalent full-time hire
  • Roles: any role that can be done remotely

What our clients say

Real founders. Real teams. Real results.

"We needed someone who could handle ops without constant hand-holding. Within a month he was mapping our processes and cutting our admin time by half."

CEO, Northgate Logistics
"Scaling fast meant we couldn't hire locally at the speed we needed. This gave us senior talent in days, not months, and the quality is outstanding."

Our pricing

Pricing you can actually plan around.

FLEX and DIRECT are priced differently, for good reason. Here's exactly how each one works.

FLEX

A fractional hire, priced by the hour

From £15/hour

A dedicated, fully integrated team member on a fractional basis. They work the hours you need each month, starting at a minimum of 20 hours, charged at an agreed hourly rate. Rates start from £15 and scale with the skillset and seniority you need.

Your hourly rate covers everything: finding, vetting, employing, onboarding, and full HR, payroll, and compliance. No setup fees.

DIRECT

A full-time hire, priced to the role

40% less than a UK hire

A full-time salary, tailored to the role and skillset you need. Because every hire is different, we quote per role with your budget in mind. The result is a more sustainable cost than UK hiring, typically around 40% less once salary, NI, pension, and overheads are all counted.

Your monthly fee covers everything: the salary, finding, vetting, employing, onboarding, and full HR, payroll, and compliance. No setup fees.

About us

10+ years of building UK teams the smarter way.

Running a small business is hard enough without hiring slowing you down. Admin piles up, customer demands grow, and the wrong hire costs you more than you think. In-house is expensive. Freelancers disappear. Agencies overpromise and underdeliver.

We started Outsourcery because we saw a better way.

South Africa offers direct access to a deep pool of skilled, ambitious professionals, who are perfectly aligned with UK time zone, language and culture. We built a model to connect them with growing UK businesses. Not as a task service but as a real employment relationship.

More than 10 years on, we've supported more than 2,000 UK businesses with dedicated professionals who deliver consistency, reliability, and results.

Built for

Growing teams ready to hire

  • Mindset: Building a team, not just delegating tasks
  • Model: Open to remote, integrated team members
Not built for

Quick and cheap fix

  • Ad hoc work: Seeking task-based or one-off support
  • Not scaling: Not actively building or growing the team
  • Lowest cost only: Optimising purely for the cheapest option
  • Short-term fix: Plugging a temporary gap, not building for the long term.

Don't compromise on your next hire.
