HR Outsourcing in Edinburgh: 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 Edinburgh is contract length: national providers price keenly and then hold you for three to five years. We reviewed 7 HR outsourcing providers covering Edinburgh, including 1 headquartered in the city. Indicative local pricing runs £220-£500 a month retained or £700-£1,300 a day for project work.
Why Edinburgh is different
Edinburgh employment is concentrated in financial services and asset management, technology, tourism, and heavy financial-services regulation means references, certification and conduct rules feature in HR work more than elsewhere. Tribunal claims are heard at Edinburgh (Employment Tribunals Scotland). Ask each provider on this page how it has handled hr outsourcing for employers in financial services and asset management specifically.
