Your financial experts

Financial support

The RecruiterBase team provides expert financial services to drive your success.

Build a solid foundation for your finances and HR

While sales and customer service are integral to recruitment success, getting your financials right is equally critical for a thriving recruitment business. The ‘numbers’ provide essential insights and drive decisions on investment, expansion, staffing, incentives, and fundraising. On the less exciting side, financial compliance and statutory reporting are required in every business.

We have a deep understanding of various recruitment business models, including contract, retained, contingent, RPO, and embedded recruitment.

With years of experience providing comprehensive financial support for the recruitment industry, our CFO, Roger, brings over 20 years of sector-specific expertise. Having worked in private and listed companies, domestically and internationally, he leads our finance team in handling challenges and opportunities.

Our commercial and HR support services cover everything from client and supplier contracts to employee contracts and wider HR initiatives. Given our level of expertise, we can support you without external legal advice, ensuring you keep costs down and margins high.
