Agile Partnering's Agile Turnkey™: A Unique BPO Solution for Staffing Firms

Agile Partnering's Agile Turnkey™ is a unique Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) solution, build from the ground up for staffing firms who want to reach significant scale. This innovative model allows you to outsource your back-office processes to us, enabling you to focus on what matters - making placements and growing your business. We manage and execute your back-office processes on your behalf, utilizing our streamlined methods and dedicated software portal. However, unlike the traditional Employer of Record (EOR) model, you retain all employer responsibilities and liabilities with the Agile Turnkey™ model.  This gives you increased control, lower costs, and unlimited scalability.

The Agile Turnkey™ model offers a distinct alternative to an Employer of Record (EOR) model or for a staffing firm trying to manage the back office in house.  While the EOR model is highly effective for smaller staffing firms and doing things ‘in house’ is a traditional approach, both of those approaches have their limitations.

In contrast, the Agile Turnkey™ model allows Agile Partnering to serve as an outsourced back office, handling administrative tasks on behalf of the staffing firms. This allows firms to retain full control and reduce costs, but without the cost and stress of maintaining an in-house back-office team. The Agile Turnkey™ model, therefore, provides a cost-effective, efficient, and scalable solution for staffing firms looking to grow their business while minimizing operational complexities.

Enhancing Efficiency and Profitability with Agile Turnkey™

This model leverages the established expertise and infrastructure of Agile Partnering, providing significant benefits at a fraction of the cost of developing, training, and maintaining a dedicated back office department.

Key Benefits of Agile Turnkey™

Cost Savings

Without Agile Turnkey™, a staffing firm has two options. They can either hire, manage, and operation an in house back office and compliance team and equip them with all the supporting software, processes and infrastructure, or they can pay an Employer of Record to handle many of the tasks. Hiring in house is tremendously expensive, time consuming, and can be stressful to manage.  The EOR option can be a great fit when the firm is smaller, but as it scales up the costs of an EOR model can tend to erode the staffing firms profitability as it grows. The Agile Turnkey™ model stands as a cost-effective solution for staffing firms, particularly as they scale up.

Increased Profitability and Business Value

According to multiple staffing associations, most staffing firms in the USA spend around 21.3% of their revenue on Sales, General, and administrative (SG&A) expenses.  While the bulk of this number is labor and salaries for salespeople, executives, and recruiters, a substantial portion is on back office, compliance, and supporting software and third-party organizations.

When a firm starts using Agile Turnkey™, that firm can reasonably expect to reduce their SG&A spend by roughly 1%, which results in a 15%+ increase in EBIDTA! This cost savings arises from the firm not having to spend time, money, and resources on either EOR fees or the recruitment, hiring, training, and ongoing management and support of an internal back office team.

Naturally, any increase to EBIDTA results in an exponential value on market value of the business itself.
