Offshore Resourcers & 360 Recruiters for UK Recruitment Agencies
Dedicated South Africa-based delivery staff who work your jobs, your CRM and your hours. We are not a job board and we do not place candidates.
Dedicated South Africa-based delivery staff who work your jobs, your CRM and your hours — resourcers, 360 recruiters and recruitment admin who plug straight into your agency and free your consultants to sell and close.
We are not a job board, and we do not place candidates. This page is for recruitment business owners buying delivery capacity — not for candidates looking for work. If you run desks and need more resourcing power without the cost of another UK hire, you are in the right place.
The maths every agency owner runs
A UK resourcer typically costs £25,000–£32,000 in basic salary, and that is before National Insurance, pension, holiday, equipment, desk space and the management time it takes to keep them productive. Load all of that in and a single delivery seat runs well north of the headline number — money that comes straight off the margin on every placement.
A dedicated South Africa-based resourcer does the same work for a fraction of that cost. Our public pricing is a one-off setup of £1,500 per seat and an all-inclusive monthly seat fee of £1,200–£1,600 — covering recruitment, salary, HR, payroll, training and replacement cover, with nothing else to add. Against a fully-loaded UK hire, that is a saving of up to 70% on the cost of the desk.

vs a UK hire
The point is not simply a cheaper desk. It is more placements per consultant: when sourcing, screening and admin move to a dedicated resourcer, your fee-earners spend their day on business development and closing rather than trawling job boards. See the full breakdown on our pricing page.
Three ways to add delivery capacity
Whether your bottleneck is sourcing, full-cycle recruitment or the admin drag that slows every desk, we build the seat around what your agency actually needs.
Resourcers & delivery consultants
The core of most agency desks — the sourcing and screening engine that keeps your consultants selling.
- Sourcing and headhunting on your job boards and LinkedIn Recruiter / RecruiterLite
- Screening, qualifying and shortlisting candidates against your live roles
- Booking and coordinating interviews between candidates and consultants
- Keeping your CRM clean, updated and pipeline-ready
360-style recruiters
For agencies ready to add capacity across the full cycle, not just delivery.
- Outbound BD calls and client outreach to open new conversations
- Managing candidates end to end, from first contact to placement
- Working live vacancies alongside your consultants
- Nurturing warm client and candidate relationships between roles
Recruitment admin
The behind-the-scenes work that slows every busy desk down.
- Chasing compliance documents, references and right-to-work checks
- Formatting CVs to your house template before they reach clients
- Cleansing and de-duplicating your candidate database
- General desk support so consultants stay on fee-generating work
All three sit under our recruitment sales support service — the same delivery model, scoped to your desks.
Your systems, your process
Your resourcer works inside whatever you already run. Whether your ATS is Bullhorn, Vincere, JobAdder or something else, they log in and work it like any team member — we do not ask you to change systems or add a partner integration. They use your job board licences, your LinkedIn Recruiter or RecruiterLite seats and your house process, so the output lands in the format your consultants and clients already expect.
Because South Africa runs just one to two hours ahead of the UK, this is real-time collaboration, not overnight handoff. Your resourcer is online through your working day, on the same calls and the same live roles, reachable the moment a priority shifts. It is the offshore economics without the offshore lag — more on why South Africa works so well for UK-hours delivery, and how it works from first call to a productive seat.
Built for generalist and specialist desks
Resourcing is a transferable craft: sourcing, screening and qualifying work the same way whether you place electricians or engineers. Our people work generalist desks comfortably, and we train each resourcer on your niche, your terminology and your candidate criteria before they touch a live role.
We are also familiar with the sectors UK agencies typically run — construction and the trades, technology, and healthcare among them — so there is a head start where your desks overlap with that experience. The model does not depend on it, though: give us the brief and the tools, and we build a resourcer who works your market.
What agency owners ask before they commit
Quality and English
South Africa is an English-first business economy, and the resourcers we place speak it natively in a neutral, easy-to-follow accent. On candidate and client calls that clarity matters — and every hire is screened and trained before they represent your brand.
Oversight and control
You direct the work day to day, the same as an in-house resourcer. Our people are office-based in Cape Town — not scattered home setups — so there is real supervision, reliable connectivity and genuine accountability behind every seat.
Data protection & GDPR
Candidate data stays in your systems. Your resourcer works inside your CRM and job board accounts, so you remain the data controller and your existing GDPR processes apply unchanged. We hold no separate database of your candidates.
If it doesn't work out
Replacement cover is built into the seat fee. If a resourcer isn't the right fit, we recruit and train a replacement — you are never left carrying a vacant desk or absorbing the cost of re-hiring.

Offshore resourcing for agencies, answered
No. We are not a recruitment agency, a job board or a candidate placement service, and we do not find you a job. We provide dedicated South Africa-based delivery staff who work for UK recruitment agencies — resourcers, 360 recruiters and recruitment admin who source, screen and support your desks under your brand. If you are a candidate looking for work, this service is not for you; it is for agency owners and directors who need more delivery capacity.
Yours. Your resourcer works inside whatever ATS or CRM you already run — Bullhorn, Vincere, JobAdder or anything else — on your job board licences and your LinkedIn Recruiter or RecruiterLite seats. Candidate records, notes and activity all live in your systems, exactly as they would with an in-house hire. We provide the person and the management; you keep full ownership of the data, the process and the client relationship.
You direct the work — the roles they source, the desks they support and the daily priorities — because you know your clients and your market. We handle recruitment, HR, payroll, training and performance support behind the scenes, and our people are office-based in our Cape Town office rather than working from home. In practice you manage them like your own team, while we carry the employment overhead and keep the seat running.
Faster than a UK hire, because we recruit and pre-screen from a deep local pool and then train each person on your tools and process before they touch a live desk. There is still a ramp — every agency runs its sectors, boards and CRM differently — but a dedicated resourcer working your jobs full time typically settles into a productive rhythm within the first few weeks rather than months.
Our public pricing is a one-off setup of £1,500 per seat and an all-inclusive monthly seat fee of £1,200–£1,600, which covers recruitment, salary, HR, payroll, training and replacement cover. Against a UK resourcer on £25,000–£32,000 plus National Insurance, pension, holiday, equipment and management overhead, that is a saving of up to 70% on the cost of the desk — so more of every placement fee stays as margin.
Candidate data stays in your systems and under your control. Your resourcer works inside your CRM and your job board accounts, so you remain the data controller and your existing GDPR processes, privacy notices and retention rules apply unchanged. We do not hold a separate database of your candidates. Access is granted, managed and revoked by you, exactly as you would for any team member.
UK hours. South Africa is one hour ahead of the UK in summer and two hours ahead in winter, so a resourcer starting at 9am local is online before your UK office opens and works a full overlap through your business day. That means live handovers, real-time collaboration on your live roles and candidates reachable during UK calling hours — not work handed off to a team asleep on the other side of the world.
It depends on where your bottleneck is. If your consultants are strong on business development but drowning in sourcing, screening and admin, a dedicated resourcer frees them to sell and close. If you want to open new desks or run outreach on top of delivery, a 360-style recruiter can handle client outreach and candidate management end to end. Many agencies start with a resourcer to prove the model, then add capacity. We will talk it through on a call.
