We've had this twice this week so scroll down a bit. IMO the fact you have to ask means it won't work. Other threads will explain why.

Unless it's long term and you want to go into business as a consultancy with these people, get an established agent to run it for you for a portion of the commission.

Hi All, I have been contracting for a number of years, just selling myself as most of us do. I may have the opportunity to recruit additional contract staff and my thoughts turn to pass them through my PSC and skimming a bit off the top.

Any advice/ links you can give to help me look into this more?

Thanks

Stuart

Search the boards, there's been numerous people who have considered it but very few who end up doing it and making it work.

Commons problems are:

Clients insisting contractors are engaged directly (and by direct I mean via the agent you are) rather than through your company.
Cash-flow, as the contractors will expect payments promptly whereas the client will probably drag their heels with you.
Making enough off each contractor to make it worth your while whilst not making them too expensive.
A whole bunch of legal implications if the person you place screws something up.
