Beyond Borders, Beyond Budgets: The New Playbook for Scaling Your Recruitment Agency

18 Mar 2026
Showcase Stage
Leadership & Growth – Vision, Strategy, Scale

UK recruitment agencies face a perfect storm in 2026: rising employment costs from increased National Insurance contributions, persistent skills shortages, and tighter margins. Yet some agencies are growing aggressively while others stagnate. What's their secret?

In this session I will reveal how forward-thinking recruitment businesses are solving the capacity/cost equation by strategically integrating South African talent into their operations. You'll discover the real numbers behind outsourcing, understand why South Africa has become the talent solution of choice, and learn a proven framework for scaling without proportionally scaling costs.

You'll leave with:

- A clear cost-benefit analysis model you can apply to your own business

- Three specific roles you should consider outsourcing first (and why)

- A risk mitigation checklist to avoid common outsourcing pitfalls

- A practical self-assessment tool to evaluate if your agency is ready to scale this way

This isn't about offshoring to cut corners, it's about strategic talent deployment to unlock growth that traditional hiring models can't support.
