Working from home holds multiple benefits for employees and employers, recruiters should be aware.

Total Back Office Solutions can give you recruitment agency formation advice

The desire to work from home is on the rise, with many people - especially those in more remote areas of the country - looking to work either part- or full-time out of the office.

Recruiters need to be aware of such developments when looking at how to set up a recruitment agency in order to meet the needs of their clients.

Homeworker-specific recruiter, Arise UK, has been drawing on skills from workers in the Highlands to promote their schemes and showcase the benefits.

Ron Turner, occupying one of these positions, said: "People looking for a second income, those with young families, or even just people who live in an area with few opportunities can find home working an excellent solution."

This comes at a time when the government is announcing plans to encourage flexible working with new legislation, which could result in all companies needing to offer flexible working plans.

Those looking at how to set up a recruitment agency may want to outsource their back office to allow their focus to remain on catering for these new needs.
