HR Outsourcing in Aberdeen: what to expect

Outsourcing works best when you have no in-house HR at all and need contracts, a handbook and an advice line covered by one monthly fee. The trade-off in Aberdeen is contract length: national providers price keenly and then hold you for three to five years. We reviewed 7 HR outsourcing providers covering Aberdeen, none of them headquartered in the city. Indicative local pricing runs £220-£500 a month retained or £700-£1,300 a day for project work.

Why Aberdeen is different

Aberdeen employment is concentrated in oil, gas and energy transition, engineering services, food and fishing, and offshore rotas, mobility clauses and redundancy cycles tied to the oil price dominate local HR work. Tribunal claims are heard at Aberdeen (Employment Tribunals Scotland). Ask each provider on this page how it has handled hr outsourcing for employers in oil, gas and energy transition specifically.
