Adding sourcing-only support for a scaling company that didn’t need full HR coverage

A scaling UK company needed extra sourcing capacity, without committing to the full HR coverage a smaller, earlier-stage business might need.

• Scope mismatch: the company needed sourcing help specifically, not every piece of HR covered.
• Cost control: it didn’t want to pay for HR coverage beyond what it actually needed.
• Standard: sourcing still needed to meet an enterprise-grade bar, scaled down or not.

Alliance scoped its HR consultancy to sourcing support only, rather than the full HR coverage a different business might take on, so the company paid for exactly what it needed.

The sourcing work still ran to the same screening standard as Alliance’s full HR consultancy clients. The company could extend the scope to full HR coverage later, without re-tendering a new provider.

• The company got sourcing support scoped to exactly what it needed, not full HR coverage.
• Sourcing still ran to Alliance’s usual screening standard.
• The company kept the option to extend to full HR coverage later with the same provider.
