Grow your sales team with no National Insurance payments In the UK budget last week, Rachel Reeves hit UK SMEs with an increase to National Insurance Contributions that is making businesses consider how best to now grow their business. Businesses were paying: 13.8% on salaries above £9,100. This is going up to: 15% on salaries above £5,000. An increase in payments and a lowering of the payments start. amount. This will be a devastating double blow for small businesses looking to grow by hiring sales people. But, we can offer you a solution where you can avoid paying both NI Contributions and salaries altogether. Because of this additional cost, many businesses are now considering selling through Independent Sales Agents that operate on a commission only basis. Sale agents are self employed or have their own agency business, so they are not an employee. You only pay agents a commission for the sales they close. There is no salary and no National Insurance contributions to pay. Agents work in all sales channels: Field Sale, Telesales, Lead Generation, Appointment Setting. Agents are not a cheap alternative, good agents are in demand and expect to make a good living from their sales business by way of commission payments. Working with sales agents offers SMEs a risk free alternative way to grow their sales team and their business, without the burden of the increasing costs of employing sales people. Let me know if you would like to know more about finding and working with telesales or field sales agents by leaving a comment or messaging me. #salesagents #businesscosts #businessgrowth

❓ Are recruitment agencies just expensive middlemen? Many companies think so, but the truth is far from it. The right recruitment partner isn't just about sending CVs—they’re about understanding your business, aligning with your goals, and finding the talent that fuels your growth. At Syntech Recruitment Ltd, we work with top-tier talent who are off-market—80% of candidates we place aren't on job boards. And these hires often drive higher profitability for our clients. Don't let misconceptions hold you back from accessing the best talent. #Recruitment #BusinessGrowth #TalentAcquisition #HiringStrategy

In Q2 of this year in the UK the average Perm Consultant made 4 placements and the average Temp Consultant made 6 placements. (UK) When we looked at the consultants at the Top 5 agencies on Recruiter Insider for Candidate Experience, we discovered that: 🚀 the average Perm Consultant there made 5 placements 🚀 the average Temp Consultant made 10 placements. In Q2 alone, the agencies with the highest candidate experience scores made 1 extra Perm placement per consultant and an 4 extra temp placements per consultant. Highlighting as always the impact candidate experience has on your placement numbers. The data doesn’t lie, an improved candidate experience means more placements. But if you are not measuring this you can improve it either. So if you want to make more placements get in touch with me. The data doesn’t lie!

Have you considered Temporary Warehouse staffing? Here at Reed we are registering Immediate available Warehouse candidates on a daily basis within the local area with great skills sets. There are many benefits to using an agency for staffing such as: ✔Flexibility: Your warehouse needs to adapt quickly to changing order volumes. Recruitment agencies can provide extra staff fast, keeping operations smooth. When orders drop, you can easily let these temporary workers go. ✔Diverse Skills: Warehouses need various skills like stock management, IT, and cleaning. It’s costly and time-consuming to hire for each role. Recruitment agencies have a ready pool of skilled workers for any vacancy. ✔Cost Savings: Direct hiring is expensive, considering advertising, salaries, and benefits. For example, a £12.50 hourly wage actually costs over £21 per hour. Temporary staff from agencies save you these costs. ✔Speed: Hiring staff yourself takes weeks, from advertising to interviewing. Recruitment agencies can fill roles much faster, even on the same day in emergencies, ensuring you’re always fully staffed. ✔Quality: Temporary workers offer fresh skills and adapt quickly with minimal training, potentially improving your warehouse operations. If you need any support with Holiday Cover , Sickness or simply not finding the right staffing on a Permanent basis and would considering hiring on a Temporary basis or Temp-Perm, Please feel to reach out to discuss how i can support.

Raised their prices But before they were able to do those 2 things...

Is it possible to find an experienced sales CLOSER for your business that won't break the bank? It is absolutely possible. Nicole Glover and I talk about how in the interview below. #salesgrowth #fractionalsales #parttimeclosers

“The full-time salary is £55,000! So why is the day rate £450pd?” FOR ONE SIMPLE FACT. Because you are employing an INTERIM! You have to remember they take the risk of unemployment, one-week notice periods, no holiday/sick pay and no pension contributions. Yes, you are paying someone a higher rate but it's for a shortened length of time. You simply can’t compare permanent and temporary rates.

🚨 Protect Your Business 🚨 We recently onboarded a customer who found themselves in the crosshairs of HMRC- it’s scary stuff. 🥶 They had engaged a temporary staffing agency who offered cheap rates and what appeared to be a good service…beneath the surface however… 🚩 The agency wasn’t paying national insurance contributions. 🚩 They were pocketing huge kickbacks from the payroll company. 🚩 They were flouting Employment Agency Standards. 🚩They assured the customer of a compliant service knowing that it wasn’t When HMRC asked what due diligence the customer had performed, the answer: none. This isn’t unusual at all, but it’s no defence. Often, when clients confront their suppliers about the more “creative” payroll schemes, they’re met with vague excuses like “it’s a grey area.” Sounds a bit Del Boy to me Rodney! 😂 Here in Worcestershire, it’s easier to name the agencies NOT operating some errrr “creative” payroll scheme than it is to highlight those that are. If you’re using temporary staff in our area, there’s a bloody good chance you’re at risk right now. If you want to safeguard your business, I have an auditing template that reveals the truth—no strings attached. No catch, no fees, and I won’t even ask for your business. Let’s level the playing field! 💪
