Welcome to GRI in the UK

GRI in the UK provides award-winning outsourced solutions to the hiring and management of contingent/ non-permanent workers in both the public and private sector.

We work with over 150 clients, manage 3,750 recruitment agencies, offer talent pool/bank solutions and are entrusted with over £1billion worth of recruitment spend every year in the UK.

We are not a recruitment agency, we are independent workforce management experts. Previously known as de Poel, we are now part of Geometric Results, Inc - the world’s largest neutral vendor - managing close to $6billion in recruitment spend across the globe.

Together, we help UK organisations and global brands gain visibility of millions of pounds of recruitment spend in the UK, delivering significant opportunity to both these organisations and their temporary and contingent workforces, thanks to leading-edge management information and expertise. Our combined influence in the marketplace ensures we are a force for change.

Testimonials

"We operate from over 190 locations throughout the UK and Northern Ireland and without their support, managing our temporary labour and ensuring legal compliance would be extremely difficult and costly. Instead we have complete control and visibility of our temporary labour, and can efficiently manage our spend."

Richard Childs

Biffa Waste

"I would highly recommend the approach to any NHS Trust or healthcare operation with a high dependency on temporary staff, wishing to gain greater control, transparency and quality whilst ensuring best overall value."

Mark Duffy

Bridgewater Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust

"When temporary staff are required, they offer a simple and effective solution to ensure that partner agencies focus on delivering quality candidates rather than charging a premium to provide nursing staff."

Peter Russell

University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust

"We wanted to do business with people we liked and trusted with a strong track record, and felt that they understood our unique requirements. In addition to this, they offered an intuitive technology solution, particularly in how we can better engage and manage our bank staff – which has been a key part of the project."

Becky Robson

Home Group

"The success of the partnership so far is a direct reflection of the processes/systems they have put in place, as well as the efforts the team have made to cater for each individual authority and their requirements. The team’s determination and enthusiasm for the contract to do well has been evident throughout."

Adam Smith

NEPO

"We have effective management of our temporary labour, as well as the supplying agencies. We are able to consistently deliver the services required by our internal stakeholders. Our approach to continual improvement ensures we add value but also that we achieve significant savings."

Procurement Director
