Advanced Technology Platform
Cutting edge technology with access to a cloud based virtual desktop offering seamless remote access, a state-of-the-art recruitment CRM, backed by expert IT support.
versus setting up on your own
Investing in the build of a company website, seeking out a reliable IT provider, acquiring costly software licenses without the safety net of technical support for bug fixes or system upgrades, shelling out funds for CV databases, and committing to a substantial annual expenditure in the thousands.
Back Office Support & Accounting
Premier back office support with all administrative tasks, CV searching, job advertising, invoicing, credit control, payroll, timesheets, legal and business insurances.
Versus setting up on your own
How do I register a recruitment company? What should my start-up capital be? How does VAT work? What do I do for a CV database, What do I do if my IT and CV database go down? How do I make sure I am spending time efficiently? How do I manage clients that don’t pay? What insurances do I need to operate? How do I file the necessary papaerwork?

What Additional Resources Franchisee’s say about us
“I would have no hesitation is recommending the Recruiter Startup Model with Additional
Resources, since I joined 3 years ago, I have had the opportunity to be my own boss, work
the hours that suit me and make good money. I receive coaching, advice and guidance
from the Head Office team, they are very supportive and handle all of the administration
and billing. If you work hard, you get great rewards.”
Amy – London
“I have been with additional Resources for over 4 years now I really enjoy working with
them. It is an honour to work here and be part of such a great group of people!
They are supportive with great leadership, you are challenged and encouraged to explore
your full potential and grow through your job experience. The best part is you have the
backing of a well-established recruitment agency. I work from home the hours that suit
my family and I earn more than I ever did employed, I would definitely recommend the
Recruiter Startup Model.”
Victoria – Essex
“Additional Resources is a company that is always there for you. Very helpful, pleasant and
nothing is ever too much trouble. I cannot recommend them enough. I have been working
with them for over 10 years now, the best thing I ever did going out on my own with the
support from AR.”
Elaine – Reading
“Joining AR it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I have worked in the
recruitment sector for 9 years, but I never had so much freedom and independence. AR
higher management is very helpful, and I can always rely on them. Any issues are solved
immediately. I am supplying temporary workers and working on perm vacancies. HR and
the compliance side of the business are remarkable, the finance and payroll team are
very good and responsive. If you consider working as a freelancer recruiter there is no
better place to start than Additional Resources.”
