Back Office Support Services for UK Businesses
Back office support services are the behind-the-scenes tasks that keep a business running: data entry, documentation, bookkeeping, payroll and onboarding. Nixxie Solutions provides these services to UK businesses and recruitment agencies as a dedicated outsourced BPO team, managed from our London office.
What Back Office Support Includes
SERVICE 01.
Administrative Back Office Support
Administrative back office support covers the day-to-day tasks that keep records accurate and work moving: data entry, document handling, filing and archiving. Our team works inside your systems and follows your processes, so you keep control while the admin is handled.
Data Entry, Documentation and Archiving
We enter and check data, process paperwork, digitise hard-copy documents and archive records securely, so information is accurate and easy to find.
Virtual Assistant Support
For inbox, diary and ongoing admin, a virtual assistant can work as an extension of your team. Explore our outsourced virtual assistant services, or read our guide to virtual assistant services for small businesses in the UK.
Accurate records entered and checked
Paperwork processed and filed
Hard-copy and digital records stored securely
Why UK Recruitment Agencies Outsource Back Office Work
Collecting and tracking documents takes consultants away from candidates and clients.
Slow paperwork leads to missed start dates and a weaker candidate experience.
Duplicate or stale records make the database hard to trust.
SERVICE 02.
Recruitment Back Office Support for UK Agencies
Recruitment back office support is the administrative work behind every placement: onboarding documents, contracts, compliance records and payroll data. Nixxie takes this work off your consultants so they can spend their time on sourcing candidates and winning clients.
Candidate Onboarding and Compliance
Our team collects and checks onboarding documents, keeps compliance records up to date and flags missing or expiring items before a placement starts.
Contract Administration
We prepare, issue and file candidate and client contracts, track signatures and keep every record ready for audit, so a new starter is never held up by paperwork.
Candidate Database and ATS Support
We keep candidate records complete and up to date in your ATS or CRM: new profiles, CV formatting, duplicate clean-up and status updates, so consultants can search with confidence.
Timesheet, Payroll and Invoicing Support
We collect and check timesheets, chase missing submissions and pass approved hours into your payroll process, so temporary and contract workers are paid accurately and on time, with the correct tax deductions. We also prepare invoice data so billing runs on schedule.
This service suits UK agencies that place temporary, contract or permanent candidates and want compliant admin without hiring more in-house staff.
SERVICE 03.
