*Taking a conservative average day rate of £400 for a professional white collar employee (e.g. IT professional, Oil/Gas Engineer, Accountant, Management Consultant etc) combined with an average agency margin of 15% results in a fee of £60 per day. Times this by the 220 work days per year and the result is £13,200 in agency fees. Sourcing the same person through Elevate = an annual cost of only £3520 or a saving of £9680. That’s for one contractor per year. A small business hiring 10 interim/contractors per year could be looking at saving almost £100,000. Much larger companies hiring hundreds of contractors each year can expect to save millions.
