About SSG
Your Market-Leading Recruitment Startup Specialists
COMPLETE & COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT
At SSG we’re not only specialists in launching recruitment businesses – but also supporting them, growing them and helping our clients achieve their life goals.
Right now, you’re likely to be more focussed on the launch of your new business – but it really does account for as little as 10% of what we offer.
When your business is launched, our work truly begins.
SSG has a comprehensive blend of expertise and tools to help you grow your business at a pace which suits you.
CLIENT SUPPORT SERVICES
After your business has launched, you’ll be allocated one of our Client Support Services Account Managers.
Our Client Support Services team are your first point of contact at SSG, and will be able to answer any of your questions – and if they can’t, they’ll know a member of the SSG team who will be able to.
One of the most understated challenges that all recruitment entrepreneurs face is the emotional rollercoaster of launching and running your own recruitment business.
Running your own business is exciting, but it can also be an intimidating and lonely experience – at least, it would be without the support of our Client Support Services team.
Our team will be able to help form a strategic growth plan for your business, mapping out your own bespoke roadmap to success, at a pace which suits you.
What’s more, all of our Client Support Services team have experience in recruitment and business ownership, and will mentor you as you transition from employee to managing director.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Printer issues? Email setup? VOIP initialisation?
Our technical team have experience resolving a whole spectrum of technical challenges, and are on hand to help you, no matter your personal level of expertise.
If you’re a technical wizz or a technophobe – our friendly and experienced Technical Support team are here to help.
MARKETING
Our Marketing consultants all have experience in creating, running and delivering marketing campaigns with a positive return on investment.
Basically, they’ll make sure you get more out of your campaigns than you’re able to put in.
Whether we’re looking at developing a social media strategy for you brand new business, or building an advertising campaign with a set budget – our team empower you to be involved in the decision making process, so you can determine the direction of your company’s marketing efforts.
ACCOUNTS
One of the many things which can be intimidating for first time recruitment entrepreneurs is the company accounts – numbers, numbers and more numbers, and a few complex calculations thrown in for good measure.
Wouldn’t it be great to have all the financial benefits of running your own business, without having to learn how to do a VAT return, file Year End Accounts and perform financial performance analysis?
We think so, which is why our accounting service offering is the most comprehensive on the market.
More than just satisfying your obligations to HMRC, we make sure you’re given the best advice you can get when it comes to growing and developing your business to fit your ambitions. We’ll help you invest at the right time, let you know when to conserve your capital, and help you extract the maximum value from your efforts.
PAYROLL & FACTORING
Paying your candidates on time is crucial for your company’s success and reputation. If you run temps or contract staff, you’re certainly going to be wondering how your candidates get paid.
The good news is: SSG have you covered – and there’s no departure from what you’re used to. Simply put, you collect your timesheets, upload them to our portal, and our Payroll experts will do the rest.
If you’re wondering where the money comes from on week one, when you have the pay your temps before your invoice has been paid – we have that covered too. SSG are partnered with market-leading factoring providers, to ensure that cash flow is never a problem for your business.
Factoring companies will advance you the money you need to cover your costs and your candidates’ wages until your invoice is paid – what’s more, they’ll also chase your invoices if your clients are late to pay.
WHAT NEXT?
The next thing you need to do to unleash your potential and fulfil your ambitions is book a call with a member of our Investment Team: It’s easy, confidential and relaxed. We can’t wait to hear about your dreams, your objectives, and listen and understand any concerns you may have.
There’s not very much we haven’t faced and overcome with our clients – no challenge is insurmountable – and we relish any opportunity we have to help you succeed.
So book a call today, take that first step, and find out a little more about what’s behind the curtain.

Success Stories

In 2010, SSG helped me with the set up of Rhodium Consulting, looking after all things technical, financial and creative, leaving me to concentrate on the focus of the business; recruitment. During the earlier years they have been my right hand man, assisting with advice on the growth of the business and answering any queries that I had regarding anything recruitment or business related.

Earlier this year, SSG helped me and were an integral part in the set up of my business Engineering Recruitment Specialists Ltd, looking after all things from technical and finance to creative and all-round back office support allowing me to concentrate on growing the business and getting our name out there in the market.

Very happy with the service provided by SSG. With what can be a very grueling process SSG provided me with the backing of multiple services available to me at any one time to help support my newly formed business to succeed two years ago.
