Recruitment back office support is a broad term

By the nature of what Davidson Gray does (setting up and supporting new recruitment businesses), we get loads of enquiries from people wanting to set up their own recruitment business. We often get asked the question, “do you supply recruitment agencies with back office solutions?” My answer to this is always the same: “What do you mean by back office support?” And, “What support is it you really want?” 

The answers to these questions vary wildly from doing invoices, accounts and factoring to admin support, and even a few, “I don’t actually know”.

We differ massively in what we do from a traditional back office solution business. Our offering is more of a ‘total back office solution plus’. Also, I am personally invested in the businesses we set up, so you will get way, way more than the typical back office model. 

Given the range of answers we get to this question, I thought a blog on the subject may be helpful. If you are looking for support in your recruitment start up or want to know what back office support is on offer in the market for your existing SME, read on.
