Why 5 out of top 30 healthcare staffing firms in Europe choose QX for payroll

According to Staffing Industry Analysts, the European Healthcare Market was worth £5.868 billion in 2015, with the UK representing 42% of the market. Over the last decade, the healthcare staffing segment has benefited from acute staff shortages and the increase in demand for personalised healthcare services for an ageing European population.

The size of the European staffing industry grew by 3%, while in the UK it grew by 6% in terms of sales, in 2015. The top 30 staffing firms in this sector generated a total revenue of £3224 million, which is 55% of the total European healthcare market. Also, the collective revenue of the top 30 firms increased by 21% during this period.

7 of the top 30 healthcare staffing firms in Europe work with QX, with 5 of them choosing QX for payroll requirements. Our clients include some of the fastest growing healthcare firms in this segment and many that fall in the top 10 category.

Accurate, timely and consistent management of the payroll process is a key objective of all recruitment companies in this sector. Not only are the healthcare staffing firms expected to run a technically complex payroll, but they are also expected to comply with a wide range of government regulations. The growing administrative burden on recruitment agencies necessitates a costly investment in more staff, upgraded technology and in-house expertise on HMRC and technical legislations. As a result, outsourcing payroll to a specialist agency can deliver substantial benefits.

There are many payroll providers in the market, what’s so special about QX’s services?

QX offers comprehensive and dedicated payroll services that allow healthcare recruitment firms to eliminate inefficiencies, improve reporting and reduce costs, while enhancing the employee experience at the same time.

“The QX team are always more than helpful, very professional and accommodating and as a previous sceptic, I can honestly say that I have been converted to outsourcing through QX! The best compliment I can give to the team and the way our relationship works is that they are in effect an extended arm of our business and the relationship is the same as working with internal staff just based in another office.”
