SideBySide provides UK training and ongoing support to experienced professionals who work from

our vibrant managed offices in Manila.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Founded by recruiters for recruiters.

We've spent years in recruitment. We know the pressures you're under.

 

Rising costs. Thinning margins. The constant need to do more with the same headcount.

 

When we couldn't find an outsourcing partner who truly understood our world, we built our own team in Manila.

 

What we learned changed everything: this model only works when it's backed by sharp, hands-on leadership, people who

understand UK recruitment and manage the operation properly, on both sides.

 

That's why we started SideBySide.

We handle everything from London. You deal with us directly.

 

Every client hire works from our managed offices in Manila, where our on-site team takes care of culture, motivation, and

wellbeing. You get the people — we take care of everything around them.

 

The results speak for themselves: staff costs typically 60% lower than a UK equivalent, with your senior people freed to focus on

the work that actually grows your business.

 

We're doing things differently.

 

Our goal is simple: to give you fully integrated team members as good as anyone you'd find in the UK.

 

For TRN member agencies, that means a reliable, affordable, and reputation-safe route to scaling your resourcing support.

THE CHALLENGE

Sound Familiar?

UK recruitment agencies face the same pressures every day. Rising costs, talent gaps, and the constant struggle to keep up or

scale.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Imagine a great hire without the excessive cost and risk.

We have built an environment designed to support UK recruitment agencies and their Manila based talent on an ongoing basis.
