Three ways to work with Source Centre.

Buy the software and run it yourself. Take a coordinated managed service with a fixed monthly fee. Or hand the whole hiring process to a dedicated account manager. Same platform underneath. The difference is how much you want us to run.

01 / ROI

Plug in your numbers.

Most clients save 2–3% on total external-hiring spend within the first twelve months: rate consolidation, AWR management, rogue-spend elimination. Try it against your volumes.

04 / Disclosure

No hidden fees. No surprise margins.

No secret rebates

Every charge on the client invoice has a documented source. Nothing routed through suppliers under the table, no margin clip we can’t point to in writing.

No bad CVs slipping through

Every submission passes compliance gates at the database before it reaches your hiring managers. Each supplier’s submission quality sits on a shared scoreboard.

No implementation fee at Mid+

Onboarding is included in the monthly fee. Starter has an implementation cost because there’s no ongoing fee to offset it.

No multi-year lock-ins

Starter is one-off. Mid is rolling-monthly. Enterprise has a 12-month minimum because the dedicated AM is a hire. You can still exit with 90 days’ notice after month six.

05 / FAQ

Common questions on pricing.

/01

What counts as a 'demonstrable cost saving'?

We measure three things month-over-month: (1) rate consolidation, same role, lower charge rate after supplier list tiering kicks in; (2) compliance-driven savings, AWR clocks no longer missed, fewer rate uplifts at week 12; (3) rogue-spend elimination, every contractor on platform, no shadow PSL. Numbers reported quarterly with audit trail.

/02

Do I have to commit for a year?

Starter is a one-off implementation; you keep the platform indefinitely. Mid is rolling-monthly with 90-day notice. Enterprise has a 12-month contract because the dedicated AM is a hire. You can still leave with 90 days' notice after the first six months.

/03

Can I trial Source Centre before committing?

Yes, we run a 60-day pilot at Starter or Mid pricing with a clean exit if it's not working. Most clients use the pilot on a single project or a single hiring manager's desk before rolling out.

/04

What's the implementation timeline?

Light implementations go live in 1–2 weeks. Standard takes 4–6 weeks including the integration build. Complex enterprise implementations are 8–12 weeks with phased onboarding by site or entity. We don't run multi-quarter implementations. If it's taking longer than 12 weeks, something is wrong.

/05

Why is software free at Mid and Enterprise?

Because the management fee covers ongoing platform access. Implementation is a separate one-off cost across every tier, covering data migration, integration build, and onboarding, and scales with your size.

/06

What does 'Bespoke' actually mean on Enterprise?

Every charging component is on the table. The monthly management fee can flex up or down depending on how the per-hire fee is structured, and vice versa, based on your volumes and what your finance team needs the numbers to look like. We model the right shape with you on a 30-minute call. Most Enterprise clients settle on a monthly figure between £2,500–£6,000 with a per-hire fee that completes the picture.

/07

Can I move tiers?

Yes, Starter → Mid → Enterprise is a natural progression as you outgrow the previous model. Upgrades happen at quarter-end with no implementation fee. Downgrades require 90 days' notice and a 30-day handover so nothing in progress drops.
