Great Talent.  Less Spend. 
Lets Talk.

Contact Flink Remotely to start a conversation about your remote hiring needs. Whether you want to hire remote staff in South Africa, understand how our Employer of Record services work, or get a cost comparison between a UK hire and a South African remote hire, we are ready to help.

Most UK businesses that contact us are dealing with one of three situations. The first is cost pressure — employer National Insurance contributions have increased significantly, and the total cost of a UK employee including NI, pension, holiday pay, and sick pay is pushing headcount decisions beyond budget. The second is a skills shortage — roles in technology, digital marketing, and sales are taking too long to fill domestically, and the available talent pool is limited. The third is growth — companies that want to scale quickly without the overhead of UK employment are looking for a compliant, structured way to build offshore teams.

Flink Remotely solves all three. Our remote staffing model gives you access to South African professionals across technology, marketing, sales, operations, and customer support. Our Employer of Record structure means you can hire in South Africa without setting up a legal entity, without registering a company, and without taking on the compliance burden of foreign employment law.

Roles we regularly place include software developers, full stack engineers, DevOps engineers, SEO specialists, paid media specialists, social media managers, content writers, SDRs, BDRs, appointment setters, customer success managers, customer support agents, virtual assistants, executive assistants, operations managers, HR managers, and project managers. If you have a role that is not on this list, contact us and we will tell you whether we can source it.

When you contact Flink Remotely, here is what happens next. We schedule a brief call to understand the role, the team structure, the working hours, and the budget. We provide a cost comparison showing what the equivalent UK hire would cost versus a South African hire through our EOR, including all statutory contributions and our service fee. If the numbers work, we move to sourcing within days.

Our talent page shows examples of the candidates currently available in our network. Our FAQ page answers the most common questions about how the EOR model works, what compliance looks like, and how payroll is managed.

Flink Remotely operates as a direct alternative to Deel, Remote.com, Oyster HR, and Papaya Global for UK companies hiring in South Africa. We combine recruitment with EOR services in a single, managed process — so you are not coordinating between a recruiter and a separate compliance platform. Everything runs through one team.

We work with companies hiring one person and companies building teams of ten or more, with transparent pricing and no minimum headcount. Reach out today and we will respond within one business day. For independent guidance on employing overseas workers, the ACAS international employment resource is a useful reference point for UK employers.
