Hiring skilled staff in Edinburgh has become increasingly difficult for SMEs, agencies, and growing teams. Salaries are rising, recruitment cycles are getting longer, and competition for capable employees is strong—especially in roles like admin support, finance assistance, content operations, customer service, and software development.
This is where remote talent outsourcing offers a practical advantage. Rather than struggling to hire locally or increasing overheads, many Edinburgh businesses are now partnering with Sri Lanka–based remote professionals who bring strong English skills, technical capability, and cost efficiency.
However, outsourcing only works when talent is reliable, trained, and supported. That’s where TalentsBridge comes in.
We are not currently hiring new workers.
Instead, we match UK businesses with our existing, pre-vetted remote workforce who are already trained, experienced, and performance-managed.
This removes the biggest risk in outsourcing: uncertainty.
Why Sri Lanka?
Sri Lanka has quietly become a global remote workforce hub, especially for English-speaking support and digital roles. The country has:
- Strong English literacy
- Graduate-level professionals in business, IT, finance, and customer service
- Cultural proximity and professionalism suitable for UK business environments
- A time-zone overlap with the UK, allowing real-time collaboration
For Edinburgh companies, this creates a unique opportunity to access skilled staff without increasing local headcount or payroll strain. Want to know more? See here
The Cost Difference: Edinburgh vs Sri Lanka
Hiring locally typically means:
- Salary
- National Insurance contributions
- Pension
- Employer overheadp
- Office costs (if on-site/hybrid)
- Recruitment fees
Through remote outsourcing, Edinburgh businesses commonly save up to 50% on staffing without compromising on work quality.
| Role | Average Edinburgh Cost / Month | Equivalent Sri Lanka Remote Cost / Month | Savings |
| Administrative Assistant | £2,000–£2,400 | £950–£1,200 | ~50% |
| Bookkeeping / Finance Support | £2,600–£3,500 | £1,100–£1,500 | ~55% |
| Customer Service / Operations | £2,200–£2,800 | £1,000–£1,400 | ~50% |
| Marketing Assistant / Content Ops | £2,100–£3,000 | £1,000–£1,600 | ~45–50% |
Figures represent typical SME staffing costs before tax and overhead.
When executed properly, outsourcing isn’t just cheaper—it’s simpler and more scalable.
