Welcome to GRI in the UK
GRI in the UK provides 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, part of Geometric Results, Inc. - the world’s largest neutral vendor - managing close to $6billion in recruitment spend across the globe.
Whether we are empowering our UK clients to manage their own communities of bank workers or revolutionising our clients’ commercial relationships with recruitment agencies, we use a blend of account management and technology to drive positive change.
"GRI in the UK encompasses Geometric Results' existing UK accounts and the recently rebranded de Poel business. Together, we help both UK organisations and global brands gain visibility of millions of pounds of recruitment spend in the UK, delivering opportunity to both these organisations and their temporary and contingent workforces, thanks to leading-edge management information and expertise."

Sectors
GRI partners with UK private businesses to transform their commercial relationships with recruitment agencies, whilst improving the supply, quality and compliance of their contingent workforce.
A CCS approved supplier, and winner of Health Service Journal’s “Best Procurement Service” in 2018 and 2019, we support the third sector, private health and care providers and help NHS Trusts adhere to the agency rate cap.
Ensuring the instant availability of compliant, high calibre supply staff is crucial for education providers. GRI delivers this assurance in the UK through our e-tips® technology and knowledgeable team.
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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We feel like we’re benefiting from consultancy advice, better systems and processes that are making us more effective as an organisation, allowing us to use our resources really effectively."
"The support I get through the arrangement we have lets me focus on other activities, knowing that my best interests are being looked after."
