Why work with us?
Our journey and our team
Our leadership team at Abacus, with over 45 years of combined experience in the recruitment industry, has successfully owned, led, and expanded recruitment agencies. This journey highlighted a pressing demand for cost-effective back office solutions tailored to each client’s unique needs rather than generic, one-size-fits-all services.
Recognising that startups and SMEs often lack the initial capital and in-house financial expertise, these critical functions frequently go overlooked. In response, we established Abacus in 2021 under the Recruitment Investment Group, bringing our deep recruitment and talent acquisition knowledge to the forefront.
Our commitment is to elevate standards across the board by offering bespoke services at reduced costs, leveraging our expertise to meet the diverse needs of our clients. Our dedicated teams are based in the UK and SA, ensuring comprehensive support and a thorough understanding of what excellence entails in our field.
Beyond service provision, our experienced team can address industry challenges – delivering customised solutions for our clients’ sustained success.
