Remote recruitment
Recruitment outsourcing for UK businesses
Hand some or all of your hiring to us. We source, screen and shortlist. You interview and decide.
The short answer
What you get
What our recruitment outsourcing covers
Each stage of hiring, who does it and what you receive. We confirm the stages on a call before work starts.
| Stage | Who does it | What you receive |
|---|---|---|
| Role brief | Zemash with you | A written brief and scorecard for the role |
| Sourcing | Zemash | A pool of candidates matched to the brief |
| Screening | Zemash | Candidates checked against the scorecard |
| Shortlist | Zemash | A shortlist with each candidate's skills, experience and working hours |
| Interviews | You, with our scheduling help | Interviews booked and notes collected |
| Offer and start | You decide, we support | Terms agreed in writing before work starts |
You can outsource every stage or only the ones that slow you down.

Compare
Outsourced recruitment services or an in house recruiter?
The two suit different hiring patterns.
| Outsourced recruitment | In house recruiter | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Hiring that rises and falls | A steady flow of hires |
| Capacity | Scales with the number of roles | Fixed by one person's time |
| Who runs the process | Zemash | Your own employee |
| Cost basis | Agreed with Zemash, depends on scope | Salary and employment costs |
If you only need one or two people, staff augmentation may be simpler.

Questions
Recruitment outsourcing questions
What is recruitment outsourcing?
Recruitment outsourcing is paying a provider to run some or all of your hiring. You keep control of who you hire.
What does RPO stand for and what does an RPO provider do?
RPO stands for recruitment process outsourcing. The provider runs stages such as sourcing, screening and shortlisting on your behalf.
Which parts of hiring can I outsource?
You can outsource any stage in the table above, or only the ones that slow you down.
Is recruitment outsourcing cheaper than an in house recruiter?
It can be when your hiring rises and falls, because you pay for the capacity you use. If you hire steadily, an in house recruiter may cost less. Pricing depends on scope. Book a 15 minute call or email contact@zemash.com.
When does recruitment outsourcing make sense?
It makes sense when you hire several roles, hire in bursts, or your team spends more time sourcing and screening than interviewing.
