HR Outsourcing in London: 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 London is contract length: national providers price keenly and then hold you for three to five years. We reviewed 5 HR outsourcing providers covering London, including 1 headquartered in the city. Indicative local pricing runs £250-£600 a month retained or £800-£1,500 a day for project work.

Why London is different

London employment is concentrated in financial and professional services, technology, creative and media, and the deepest concentration of solicitor-led HR practices in the country, so you can buy legal advice and day-to-day HR from the same firm. Tribunal claims are heard at London Central, London South or East London. Ask each provider on this page how it has handled hr outsourcing for employers in financial and professional services specifically.
