About Portfolio Payroll
Portfolio Payroll is the market leader and our longest established division specialising in the recruitment of Payroll professionals. Our highly experienced team have been supporting the payroll sector with qualified professionals since 1988 with a proven track record of success across our offices in London, Manchester and Canada.
Recruiting at all levels of the market; we have established teams for permanent, Executive hires, temporary or contract recruitment through to a dedicated team supporting the Public Sector. Our approach ensures you benefit from our extensive networks, consultant knowledge and ability to match the best talent aligned to your business requirements.
As market-leaders, we produce an annual salary survey for benchmarking payroll salaries & remuneration packages against the market. Providing in-depth insights and analysis into industry average salaries, recruitment trends and insights into hiring and retention.
Due to our long-standing relationship with the Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals (CIPP) they produce an annual payroll test exclusively for Portfolio Payroll. This enables us to assess candidates on their knowledge, so we can ensure they are up to date with current legislation.
“There is a very simple reason why we are the best Payroll recruitment consultancy, and that is our sheer experience in the industry.
We have consultants who have 20 years specialist knowledge, low turnover, have a close relationship with the CIPP and many consultants who have only ever focused on payroll recruitment.”
