• PSL – Useful advice to help your agency collate a dependable preferred supplier list (PSL).
• Information on our FCSA accreditation and SafeRec certification – It’s essential that recruitment agencies refer candidates to compliant umbrella companies because the consequences could be severe. Churchill Knight Umbrella is accredited by the FCSA and certified by SafeRec. Therefore, by referring candidates to us, you are protecting both your agency and your candidates.
• Reasons to refer to Churchill Knight Umbrella – There are many reasons you should refer candidates to Churchill Knight, and we’ve summarised them for you.

Powered by AI, SafeRec’s auditing software is revolutionising compliance within the contractor payroll sector. Every time we process a payslip for our employees, the software cross-references the payslip with RTI payments sent to HMRC to check that they are compliant and that there are no signs of malpractice.

Every time Churchill Knight Umbrella pays an employee, they are sent a payslip audit report, and you will receive a monthly report outlining the results of every payment we’ve processed for your candidates to check that we are operating ethically.

SafeRec has been extremely well received in the sector because it helps companies hiring temporary workers remain compliant with complex legislation such as the Criminal Finances Act. Companies can receive real-time information on the payslips produced by umbrella companies they refer to. If an umbrella is paying employees unethically, agencies will be alerted immediately, helping them identify malpractice the moment it occurs.

We’re delighted to work with hundreds of recruitment agencies throughout the UK. By partnering with us, you’re teaming up with an umbrella company you can trust. We’ve built a reputation we’re proud of, and you can be assured that your recruitment agency, consultants, and candidates will become our priority.
