Dedicated Recruitment Support
Compare the estimated employment cost of adding a UK employee with Northbridge's fixed monthly dedicated recruitment support service.
Your calculator inputs stay in your browser. Northbridge does not receive or store the figures you enter.
Dedicated recruitment support
One dedicated professional. One fixed monthly fee.
Add dedicated recruitment support capacity without adding another UK-based employee to your payroll. Your Northbridge professional works within your agreed systems, processes and workflows, providing consistent day-to-day support to your recruitment team.
Dedicated full-time professional
Assigned to the client rather than sold as shared hourly capacity.
UK-aligned working hours
Working arrangements agreed during onboarding.
Works within your systems
Support can be delivered through the client's agreed CRM/ATS and other authorised systems.
Equipment provided
Northbridge arranges the equipment required for the role.
Recruitment & local employment administration
Northbridge handles recruitment and local employment/payroll administration for the remote professional.
Continuity support
Northbridge will work to arrange appropriate cover or replacement support where required, subject to the service agreement and practical availability.
No setup fee
No separate Northbridge setup/recruitment fee for the standard dedicated service.
Fixed monthly fee
£1,595 per dedicated professional per month, subject to the client agreement.
Need more capacity?
Build your dedicated remote team.
Northbridge can support agencies requiring more than one dedicated professional. Additional roles, responsibilities and team structures are agreed around the requirements of the agency. Bespoke pricing applies for larger or custom teams.
Illustrative comparison only.
The calculator is intended as a general planning tool and does not constitute tax, employment, pension, financial or legal advice.
Actual employment costs vary according to salary, employee circumstances, pension arrangements, National Insurance treatment, Employment Allowance eligibility, benefits, recruitment costs, equipment, software and other employer costs.
This is a commercial service comparison. Northbridge's dedicated recruitment support service is a fixed monthly service arrangement and is not a claim that a Northbridge professional is legally or operationally identical to employing a UK member of staff.
Rates and assumptions should be reviewed periodically as UK tax and employment rules change.
