How can we help?

Imperfect Circle provides commercial and other professional advisory services to businesses operating in the recruitment and HR services sectors. We help clients identify and secure new opportunities for growth; develop products and services for specific markets; and identify and manage operational or commercial risks.

We can help small or medium-sized recruitment businesses develop mature service offerings such as MSP, RPO or SOW engagement and deployment. We can also provide support to large, established businesses in identifying new routes to market for their core and complementary service offerings.

Supply Chain Risks

We offer specialist advisory services to recruiters or end-hirers looking to understand the potential impact and risks associated with extended temporary supply chains. This includes the off-payroll (IR35) reforms, avoidance schemes operated by unregulated umbrella bodies and 'hidden' self-employment arrangements.

Our advice takes into account the risks associated with alternative engagement models and stresses the importance of effective supply chain due diligence for any form of intermediary engagement - including employed consultant models and the increasingly popular 'recruit', 'train' and 'deploy' (RDT) arrangements.
