At Save On Talent, we believe smart hiring is not about cutting corners. It is about outsmarting your competition. That is why our tagline is simple: The smart way to out-hire your competition.
Let’s break down the real numbers behind UK hiring, and why overseas talent is helping forward-thinking businesses cut costs by 60% or more without losing quality.
The Hidden Price Tag of UK Hiring
Hiring in the UK comes with far more than just a salary. For example, take a mid-level admin assistant at £25,000 per year. Once you add:
- National Insurance contributions: £1,720
- Pension contributions: £750
- 28 days’ holiday pay: You are paying for 13 months and getting 11.5 months of productivity
- Equipment, office, and software: Easily £2,000+ per year
That “£25,000” role really costs closer to £30,000–£32,000.
And that is before training, recruitment fees, or staff turnover enter the equation.
The Overseas Advantage
Now compare that with hiring highly skilled overseas contractors through Save On Talent:
- Flat hourly rates: Typically £5–£8 per hour
- No NI or pension costs: You pay only for hours worked
- No holiday pay: Cost includes time off
- Flexibility: Scale up or down as your workload changes
The result? A role that costs £30,000 in the UK can often be filled for £10,000–£14,000 overseas. That is a saving of more than 50%. Money that can be reinvested straight into growing your business.
But What About Quality?
We hear this a lot. The truth is, the global talent pool is packed with degree-educated, English-speaking professionals with years of experience. The challenge is not finding them. It is filtering and vetting them properly.
That is where Save On Talent comes in. We do the hard work of sourcing, vetting, and managing overseas contractors so you get talent you can trust from day one.
