The problem we solve

The problem with hiring in the UK

Hiring problems
  • Quality: the candidate you actually want sits over budget
  • Cost: your cost to company runs 30 to 40% over salary once you add NI, pensions and overheads
  • Speed to hire: hiring drags on for 6 to 12 weeks while momentum stalls
  • Risk: IR35, notice periods and compliance land entirely on you
Our solution

The person you want, in budget, ready in days not months, with the employment risk on us.

Our hiring models

Two simple ways to build your team

Both 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 contract, cancel with one month's notice
  • Speed to hire: matched profiles delivered within 48 hours
  • Cost: up to 40% savings compared to a UK part-time hire
  • Roles: Virtual Assistants and other support roles across most functions.
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 to hire: matched profiles delivered within two weeks
  • Cost: up to 40% savings compared to a UK full-time hire
  • Roles: any role that can be done remotely

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.

Who we're built for

A clear fit, not a catch-all.

Built for

Growing teams ready to hire

  • Stage: Actively hiring or planning to hire
  • Pressure: Teams under capacity pressure due to growth
  • 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.

A 30-minute call is enough to know if Outsourcery is right for your business.
