The problem we solve
The four problems UK hiring leaves you with.
Most growing UK businesses feel all four.
Here's what each one costs you.
Cost
Salary is just the start. NI, pensions, holiday, sick pay, tools, and office costs add 30 to 40% on top. UK headcount is getting more expensive every year.
Our fix
One fixed monthly fee. No NI, no pensions, no tools to buy. Transparent and predictable.
Speed
From job spec to offer, UK hiring averages 6 to 12 weeks. Momentum dies waiting.
Our fix
Pre-vetted, ready to start. 48 hours for FLEX, 28 days for DIRECT. Momentum protected.
Employment risk
IR35, notice periods, redundancy exposure, compliance complexity. All on you. All getting harder.
Our fix
We employ them. You manage the work. IR35, notice periods, compliance, all our problem.
Outsourcery solves all four, not by cutting corners on one to compensate for another, but by changing the hiring model entirely.
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: sustainable cost base vs. equivalent UK part-time hire
- Roles: admin, ops, finance, customer support, marketing, sales, HR, property
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, with employment fully managed
- Roles: any role that can be done remotely

Real founders. Real teams. Real results.
"Honestly, I was doubtful at first. But within a few weeks it just clicked. She knows the business, she gets on with it, and I don't have to chase. That's all I wanted."
Jake Robinson
Founder, Fields Food & Co
"We'd tried a couple of freelancers before this and it never stuck. Our Outsourcerer has been with us eight months now and genuinely feels part of the team."
Tom Wilson
Commercial Director, VentureBright
"The hiring process was faster than I expected — we had someone in place within two weeks. Twelve months on, she's running the whole marketing function."
Priya Hughes
Head of Marketing, Finovo
"I was spending half my week on stuff that didn't need me. Now I'm not. Simple as that."
Sophie Patel
Co-Founder, WildBloom Skincare
"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."
Mark Henderson
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."
Rachel Green
COO, ScaleUp Partners

Book a callOur 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.
Talk to us about FLEXDIRECT
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
Eleven years of building UK teams the right 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 in 2015 because we saw a better way. As Brits living and working in South Africa, we had direct access to a deep pool of skilled, ambitious professionals — and we built a model to connect them with growing UK businesses properly. Not as a task service. As a real employment relationship.
Ten years on, we've supported more than 2,000 UK SMEs with dedicated professionals who deliver consistency, reliability, and results.
We push for excellence
Skilled, trained, and AI-enabled professionals who stay ahead.
We act like owners
Outsourcerers take responsibility for outcomes, not just outputs.
We build long-term partnerships
Most of our clients have scaled with us for many years.
We act with integrity
Transparent, reliable, and trusted.
